Pundit::Resources

Pundit::Resources is a gem that makes JSONAPI::Resources use Pundit authorization.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'pundit-resources'

And then execute:

bundle

Or install it yourself as:

gem install pundit-resources

Usage

Include Pundit::ResourceController in the resource controllers that should use Pundit.

You also need to define a current_user method on the controller. The result of this method will be passed as the user parameter to the Pundit policies.

Pundit::ResourceController will raise an exception if authorization is not performed on any action, so you don't have to worry about anything slipping through the cracks.

class ApplicationController < JSONAPI::ResourceController
  include Pundit::ResourceController

  protected

  def current_user
    User.find(params[:id])
  end
end

Also, include Pundit::Resource in the resources that should use Pundit:

class ApplicationResource < JSONAPI::Resource
  include Pundit::Resource
end

Pundit::Resources does not use the show? action on Pundit policies. Instead, it checks to see if the given resource is included in the Scope for that policy.
