Authoreyes

Gem Version Build Status Dependency Status Code Climate Test Coverage Inline docs

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:

  1. Add an authorization_rules.rb file. See the included one for an example. The syntax is the same as Declarative Authorization, so you can look at their examples too.
  2. Define privileges for every single action you want to be accessed. As of now, Authoreyes has only one mode: authorize everything.
  3. 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.
