Instance Method Details

#authorize(action, model_object = nil) ⇒ Object

This method is called in every controller action and should raise an exception when the authorization fails. The first argument is the name of the controller action as a symbol (:create, :destroy, etc.). The second argument is the actual model instance if it is available.

def authorize(action, model_object = nil)
  if action
    @controller.instance_variable_set(:@_authorized, true)
    @controller.current_ability.authorize!(action.to_sym, model_object)
  end
end

#authorized?(action, model_object = nil) ⇒ Boolean

This method is called primarily from the view to determine whether the given user has access to perform the action on a given model. It should return true when authorized. This takes the same arguments as authorize. The difference is that this will return a boolean whereas authorize will raise an exception when not authorized.

Returns:

  • (Boolean)
