mode-mask

mode mask

Given an array of strings or a {} of {string: number} build a mask data structure to manage things like user permissions in apps. Servers that are enabled with certain modes or features might also find this useful.

Install

npm i mode-mask

yarn add mode-mask

Basic Usage with MaskFactory

import {buildMaskFactory} from 'mode-mask'

const modes = {
    READ: 1,
    WRITE: 2,
    DELETE: 4,
    AUTO_CREATE: 8
}

// build mask with factory from array of strings
const mask = buildMaskFactory({
    values: Object.keys(modes)
})()

// get the MaskDatum of a given permissions sum
const rda = mask.indexOf(modes.READ + modes.DELETE + modes.AUTO_CREATE)
// with an explicit number
const rda = mask.indexOf(13)
// from string values
const rda = mask.fromValues(['READ', 'DELETE', 'AUTO_CREATE'])

Basic Usage with MaskProvider

import {MaskProvider} from 'mode-mask'

const modes = {
    READ: 1,
    WRITE: 2,
    DELETE: 4,
    AUTO_CREATE: 8
}

// build mask with provider with a map of <string, number>
const mask = MaskProvider.resolveMask(modes)

// get the MaskDatum of a given permissions sum
const rda = mask.indexOf(modes.READ + modes.DELETE + modes.AUTO_CREATE)
// with an explicit number
const rda = mask.indexOf(13)
// from string values
const rda = mask.fromValues(['READ', 'DELETE', 'AUTO_CREATE'])

MaskProvider from values with derived mask

import {MaskProvider} from 'mode-mask'

const expectedModes = {
    READ: 1,
    WRITE: 2,
    DELETE: 4,
    AUTO_CREATE: 8
}

const maskProvider = MaskProvider.fromModesOrValues(Object.keys(expectedModes))
const {mask, modes, values} = maskProvider

// get the MaskDatum of a given permissions sum
const rda = mask.indexOf(modes.READ + modes.DELETE + modes.AUTO_CREATE)
// with an explicit number
const rda = mask.indexOf(13)
// from string values
const rda = mask.fromValues(['READ', 'DELETE', 'AUTO_CREATE'])

// modes are derived from values
expect(modes).to.deep.equal(expectedModes)

MaskProvider from values with derived mask

import {MaskProvider} from 'mode-mask'

const expectedModes = {
    READ: 1,
    WRITE: 2,
    DELETE: 4,
    AUTO_CREATE: 8
}

const maskProvider = MaskProvider.fromModesOrValues(expectedModes)
const {mask, modes, values} = maskProvider

// get the MaskDatum of a given permissions sum
const rda = mask.indexOf(modes.READ + modes.DELETE + modes.AUTO_CREATE)
// with an explicit number
const rda = mask.indexOf(13)
// from string values
const rda = mask.fromValues(['READ', 'DELETE', 'AUTO_CREATE'])

// values are derived from modes
expect(values).to.deep.equal(Object.keys(expectedModes))
