Rokku

Rokku (ロック - lock) offers authorization for Hanami web applications.

Authorization was setup as inspired by this blog post. It supports the generation of policy files for each controller where authorized roles are specified for each action.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'rokku'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install rokku

Rokku is already setup to be included by your Hanami application:

::Hanami::Controller.configure do
  prepare do
    include Hanami::Rokku
  end
end

Usage

Role based authorization

Prerequisites

The current user must be stored in the @user variable and must have the attribute of roles. Rokku supports roles both as a type of Array and String. For example, the @user.roles could either be a simple string like 'admin' or an array of roles like ['level_1', 'level_2', 'level_3'].

rokku -n mightyPoster -p post

The above CLI command will generate a policy file for the application mightyPoster (not the project) and the controller post. The file will be generated as myProject/lib/mightyPoster/policies/PostPolicy.rb

Each application will have its own app/policies folders.

The command must be run in the project root folder.

Once the file is generated, the authorized roles variables in the initialize block for required actions need to be uncommented and supplied with specific roles. For example:

# @authorized_roles_for_show = []
# @authorized_roles_for_index = []
# @authorized_roles_for_edit = []
@authorized_roles_for_update = ['admin']

Then we can check if a user is authorized for the mightyPoster application, Post controller and Updateaction.

authorized?("mightyposter", "post", "update")

A complete example of using Rokku in a Hanami 1.3 applications is available here.
