PunditNamespaces

Namespaces for Pundit policies.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'pundit'
gem 'pundit_namespaces'

Install pundit and then include PunditNamespaces in your application controller and override the pundit_namespace method returning the namespace to be used.

class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
  include Pundit
  include PunditNamespaces

  def pundit_namespace
    current_user.class.name
  end
end

Usage

As described in the installation part, the pundit_namespace method has to return the namespace to be used. The policy has then to be namespaced within the module returned by pundit_namespace.

# app/policies/admin/post_policy.rb
module Admin
  class PostPolicy < AdminPolicy
    class Scope < AdminPolicy::Scope
    end
  end
end

# app/policies/user/post_policy.rb
module User
  class PostPolicy < UserPolicy
    class Scope < UserPolicy::Scope
    end
  end
end
