Gorm Adapter

In v3.0.3, method NewAdapterByDB creates table named casbin_rules,
we fix it to casbin_rule after that.
If you used v3.0.3 and less, and you want to update it,
you might need to migrate data manually. Find out more at: https://github.com/casbin/gorm-adapter/issues/78

Gorm Adapter is the Gorm adapter for Casbin. With this library, Casbin can load policy from Gorm supported database or save policy to it.

Based on Officially Supported Databases, The current supported databases are:

• MySQL
• PostgreSQL
• Sqlite3
• SQL Server

You may find other 3rd-party supported DBs in Gorm website or other places.

Installation

go get github.com/casbin/gorm-adapter/v3

Simple Example

package main

import (
	"github.com/casbin/casbin/v2"
	gormadapter "github.com/casbin/gorm-adapter/v3"
	_ "github.com/go-sql-driver/mysql"
)

func main() {
	// Initialize a Gorm adapter and use it in a Casbin enforcer:
	// The adapter will use the MySQL database named "casbin".
	// If it doesn't exist, the adapter will create it automatically.
	// You can also use an already existing gorm instance with gormadapter.NewAdapterByDB(gormInstance)
	a, _ := gormadapter.NewAdapter("mysql", "mysql_username:[email protected](127.0.0.1:3306)/") // Your driver and data source.
	e, _ := casbin.NewEnforcer("examples/rbac_model.conf", a)
	
	// Or you can use an existing DB "abc" like this:
	// The adapter will use the table named "casbin_rule".
	// If it doesn't exist, the adapter will create it automatically.
	// a := gormadapter.NewAdapter("mysql", "mysql_username:[email protected](127.0.0.1:3306)/abc", true)

	// Load the policy from DB.
	e.LoadPolicy()
	
	// Check the permission.
	e.Enforce("alice", "data1", "read")
	
	// Modify the policy.
	// e.AddPolicy(...)
	// e.RemovePolicy(...)
	
	// Save the policy back to DB.
	e.SavePolicy()
}

Customize table columns example

You can change the gorm struct tags, but the table structure must stay the same.

package main

import (
	"github.com/casbin/casbin/v2"
	gormadapter "github.com/casbin/gorm-adapter/v3"
	"gorm.io/gorm"
)

func main() {
	// Increase the column size to 512.
	type CasbinRule struct {
		ID    uint   `gorm:"primaryKey;autoIncrement"`
		Ptype string `gorm:"size:512;uniqueIndex:unique_index"`
		V0    string `gorm:"size:512;uniqueIndex:unique_index"`
		V1    string `gorm:"size:512;uniqueIndex:unique_index"`
		V2    string `gorm:"size:512;uniqueIndex:unique_index"`
		V3    string `gorm:"size:512;uniqueIndex:unique_index"`
		V4    string `gorm:"size:512;uniqueIndex:unique_index"`
		V5    string `gorm:"size:512;uniqueIndex:unique_index"`
	}

	db, _ := gorm.Open(...)

	// Initialize a Gorm adapter and use it in a Casbin enforcer:
	// The adapter will use an existing gorm.DB instnace.
	a, _ := gormadapter.NewAdapterByDBWithCustomTable(db, &CasbinRule{}) 
	e, _ := casbin.NewEnforcer("examples/rbac_model.conf", a)
	
	// Load the policy from DB.
	e.LoadPolicy()
	
	// Check the permission.
	e.Enforce("alice", "data1", "read")
	
	// Modify the policy.
	// e.AddPolicy(...)
	// e.RemovePolicy(...)
	
	// Save the policy back to DB.
	e.SavePolicy()
}
