Authorization

crudify allows you to specify authorization on pretty much everything. Here are some details on the way it works.

Let's take this model for example

{Schema} = mongoose = require 'mongoose'
 
UserModel = new Schema
 
  name:
    type: String
    required: true
 
  password:
    type: String
    authorize: (req) ->
      permission =
        read: false
        write: false
      return permission
 
  score:
    type: Number
    default: 0
    
  bestFriend:
    type: Schema.Types.ObjectId
    ref: 'User'
 
  friends: [
    type: Schema.Types.ObjectId
    ref: 'User'
  ]
 
UserModel.statics.search = (opt, cb) -> cb null, {query: opt.q}
UserModel.methods.findWithSameName = (opt, cb) ->  cb null, {name: @name, query: opt.q}
 
UserModel.statics.authorize = (req) ->
  permission =
    read: true
    write: true
  return permission
 
UserModel.methods.authorize = (req) ->
  permission =
    read: true
    write: false
    delete: false
  return permission
 
module.exports = UserModel

Collection

GET /users

Will run UserModel.statics.authorize. If read is false, it will return an error. The query is executed and UserModel.methods.authorize is run on each model returned from the database. If read is false, it will remove the model from the results. For any fields with an authorize function specified, it will be run on each model. If read is false the field will be removed from the model in the results. The results are now returned.

POST /users

Will run UserModel.statics.authorize. If read is false, it will return an error. If write is false, it will return an error. The document is saved to the database and returned to the caller.

GET/POST /users/search

Will run UserModel.statics.authorize. If read is false, it will return an error. The querystring/body (depending on if it is a GET or POST) is passed to UserModel.statics.search which is responsible for returning a response and any further authorization.

Single

GET /users/:id

Will run UserModel.statics.authorize. If read is false, it will return an error. The query is executed and UserModel.methods.authorize is run on the result. If read is false, it will return an error. Authorization will be run for any fields with an authorize function specified. If read is false the field will be removed from the model in the result. The results are now returned.

PUT /users/:id

The query is executed and UserModel.methods.authorize is run on the result. If read is false, it will return an error. If write is false, it will return an error. Authorization will be run for any fields with an authorize function specified. If read is false for the field it will be excluded from the results. If write is false then it will be ignored in the reset unless they tried to write to said field in the PUT - if so an error will be returned. The results are now returned.

PATCH /users/:id

The query is executed and UserModel.methods.authorize is run on the result. If read is false, it will return an error. If write is false, it will return an error. Authorization will be run for any fields with an authorize function specified that are trying to be updated. If read is false an error will be returned. The results are now returned.
