  {nsAssignments: ...}

Further notes:

• While you should make sure to secure permissions to your data elsewhere (such as the geoserver layer-level permissions), you excluding or encapsulating dangerous actions like Delete is a good idea.

• The functions Insert, Update, Replace, Delete in this module have remained uppercase (1) to remain similar to their xml names and (2) to avoid the keyword delete. If you would prefer to adhere to camelcase naming, consider aliasing the functions on import, like import {Insert as insert} from '...'
