OpenFGA DSL Parser

Archived: as there is now an official parser.

Archived version

OpenFGA DSL Parser is a parser for the OpenFGA DSL.

Note: This library parses an unofficial version of the OpenFGA DSL. Some differences:

See the tests for some examples.

Example usage

package main

import (
	"fmt"

	parser "github.com/craigpastro/openfga-dsl-parser/v2"
)

func main() {
	model := `
type user

type document
  relations
    define viewer: [user] as self
    define writer: [user] as self or writer
`

	typeDefinitions, err := parser.Parse(model)
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}

	fmt.Println(typeDefinitions)
}

Contributing

  1. Change the grammar in DSL.g4 or Tuple.g4.
  2. Regenerate the parser package by make gen.
  3. Make the appropriate changes to the parsing function.

Wasm module

Create a directory called assets to hold all the code that will be served by a webserver.

Build the Wasm module:

GOOS=js GOARCH=wasm go build -o assets/parse.wasm cmd/wasm/main.go

In order to use the Wasm module you will need wasm_exec.js which you find in your GOROOT (assuming you have Go installed.)

cp "$(go env GOROOT)/misc/wasm/wasm_exec.js" assets

Finally, create an index.html in assets that will import the Wasm module. Below is a very simple example:

<html>
    <head>
        <meta charset="utf-8"/>
        <script src="wasm_exec.js"></script>
        <script>
            const go = new Go();
            WebAssembly.instantiateStreaming(fetch("parse.wasm"), go.importObject).then((result) => {
                go.run(result.instance);
            });
        </script>
    </head>
    
    <body>
         <textarea id="input" name="input" cols="80" rows="20"></textarea>
         <input id="button" type="submit" name="button" value="parse" onclick="parse(input.value)"/>
         <textarea id="output" name="output" cols="80" rows="20"></textarea>
    </body>
    
    <script>
        var parse = function(input) {
            output.value = parseDSL(input)
        }
     </script>
</html>
