# NPM
npm install casbin --save
# Yarn
yarn add casbinNew a node-casbin enforcer with a model file and a policy file, see Model section for details:
// For Node.js:
const { newEnforcer } = require('casbin');
// For browser:
// import { newEnforcer } from 'casbin';
const enforcer = await newEnforcer('basic_model.conf', 'basic_policy.csv');Note: you can also initialize an enforcer with policy in DB instead of file, see Persistence section for details.
Add an enforcement hook into your code right before the access happens:
const sub = 'alice'; // the user that wants to access a resource.
const obj = 'data1'; // the resource that is going to be accessed.
const act = 'read'; // the operation that the user performs on the resource.
// Async:
const res = await enforcer.enforce(sub, obj, act);
// Sync:
// const res = enforcer.enforceSync(sub, obj, act);
if (res) {
// permit alice to read data1
} else {
// deny the request, show an error
}Besides the static policy file, node-casbin also provides API for permission management at run-time.
For example, You can get all the roles assigned to a user as below:
const roles = await enforcer.getRolesForUser('alice');See Policy management APIs for more usage.
Casbin provides two sets of APIs to manage permissions:
- Management API: the primitive API that provides full support for Casbin policy management.
- RBAC API: a more friendly API for RBAC. This API is a subset of Management API. The RBAC users could use this API to simplify the code.
