PatrolMan
A controller level middleware for express.
Example:
Use top level routes as naming convention so in the example below all /listing/* routes will be covered based on controller level policies.
"*" applies to all routes within that top level ( eg /listing )
the object's key is the name of the controller function
'''
// config.js
const Policies = require('./index');
module.exports = {
"listing": {
"" : [Policies.isLoggedIn],
"get": [Policies.canGet],
"create": [Policies.isCoolEnough, Policies.isPrettyGirl],
},
"match": {
"" : [Policies.isLoggedIn],
}
}
'''
Then in your controller instantiate a new PatrolMan object and feed it the path to your above config file.
'''
let PatrolMan = require('../police');
PatrolMan = new PatrolMan(require('../policies/config'));
const ListingController = {
get: function(req,res,next){
// whatever
},
create: function(req,res,next){
// whatever
}
}
// pass top level route again and the controller instance
module.exports = PatrolMan.patrol("listing", ListingController)
'''
That's it!.
