Authoreyes
Authoreyes (pronounced "authorize") is intended to be a modern, Rails 5 compatible replacement for Declarative Authorization.
Installation
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'authoreyes'And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install authoreyes
Usage
For Rails authorization in Rails versions 4 and below, please use Declarative Authorization or one of its forks.
Warning! This gem is not finished!
At this point, to use Authoreyes, you must do the following:
- Add an
authorization_rules.rbfile. See the included one for an example. The syntax is the same as Declarative Authorization, so you can look at their examples too. - Define privileges for every single action you want to be accessed. As of now, Authoreyes has only one mode: authorize everything.
- Done! Authoreyes will do its job.
If you want to customize authorization behavior, in your ApplicationController override Authoreyes's redirect_if_unauthorized before_action and set_unauthorized_status_code after_action. See lib/authoreyes/helpers/in_controller for details.
