Authoreyes

Warning! This gem is an alpha!

Authoreyes (pronounced "authorize") is intended to be a modern, Rails 5 compatible replacement for Declarative Authorization.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'authoreyes'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install authoreyes

Usage

For Rails authorization in Rails versions 4 and below, please use Declarative Authorization or one of its forks.

Warning! This gem is not finished! Although authorization functionality does work, you will need to do a few things to actually use it in your application...

At this point, to use Authoreyes, you must do the following:

Add an authorization_rules.rb file. See the included one for an example.
Define privileges for every single action you want to be accessed. As of now, Authoreyes has only one mode: authorize everything.

If you want to customize authorization behavior, in your ApplicationController override Authoreyes's redirect_if_unauthorized before_action and set_unauthorized_status_code after_action. See lib/authoreyes/helpers/in_controller for details.
