vue-acl: access control list in vuejs

We will help you to control the permission of access in your app for yours components and routes

Installation

# yarn
yarn add vue-acl
# npm
npm install vue-acl --save

Get Started

Create the acl.js file to define your acl settings and global rules:

import Vue from 'vue'
import { AclInstaller, AclCreate, AclRule } from 'vue-acl'
import router from './router'

Vue.use(AclInstaller)

export default new AclCreate({
  initial: 'public',
  notfound: {
    path: '/error',
    forwardQueryParams: true,
  },
  router,
  acceptLocalRules: true,
  globalRules: {
    isAdmin: new AclRule('admin').generate(),
    isPublic: new AclRule('public').or('admin').generate(),
    isLogged: new AclRule('user').and('inside').generate()
  },
  middleware: async acl => {
    await timeout(2000) // call your api
    acl.change('admin')
  }
})

More details:

AclInstaller: plugin class for install in Vue with Vue.use
AclCreate: class to define acl settings
- initial: first permission, for startup with your app
- notfound: route for 404 error, add forwardQueryParams: true if you want to forward all query params,
- router: your VueRouter instance
- acceptLocalRules: if you can define new rules inside vue components
- globalRules: define globals rules for access in routes and any components
- middleware: async method executed in all route change event, to get user in your api and change permission
AclRule: class with rule builder, the instance receive initial permission.
- or: method for add OR condition in rule, e.g: if current permission is public OR admin the rule isPublic equals true
- and: method for add AND condition in rule, e.g: if current permission contains user AND inside the rule isLogged equals true
- generate: this method should called to create and compile your rule query

In your router.js file, you can define permissions for yours routes:

import Vue from 'vue'
import Router from 'vue-router'
import { AclRule } from 'vue-acl'

import Public from './views/Public.vue'
import Admin from './views/Admin.vue'
import NotFound from './views/NotFound.vue'

Vue.use(Router)

export default new Router({
  routes: [
    {
      path: '/',
      name: 'public',
      component: Public,
      meta: {
        rule: 'isPublic'
      }
    },
    {
      path: '/admin',
      name: 'admin',
      component: Admin,
      meta: {
        rule: new AclRule('admin').generate()
      }
    },
    {
      path: '/error',
      name: 'notfound',
      component: NotFound,
      meta: {
        rule: '*'
      }
    }
  ]
})

More details:

Define rule meta for link a route with a permission, your can use name of the global rule e.g isPublic or use AclRule for create new rule orr use * for define allowed route.

For finish, in your main.js import the acl and pass to Vue root instance:

import Vue from 'vue'
import App from './App.vue'
import router from './router'
import acl from './acl'

Vue.config.productionTip = false

new Vue({
  router,
  acl,
  render: h => h(App)
}).$mount('#app')

Use in components

If you defined acceptLocalRules as true, you can define computed properties with new rules, but this rules works only in component:

import { AclRule } from 'vue-acl'

export default {
  computed: {
    isLocalRule () {
      return new AclRule('create').generate()
    }
  }
}

You can also check rules for display custom elements in your layout:

<button v-if="$acl.not.check('isAdmin')">
  Set admin permisson
</button>
<button v-else>
  Set public permission
</button>

E.g: if isAdmin is not true the button 'Set admin permisson' is displayed.

Finish, you can change current permission in any component using change method:

<button v-if="$acl.not.check('isAdmin')" @click="$acl.change('admin')">
  Set admin permisson
</button>
<button v-else @click="$acl.change('public')">
  Set public permission
</button>

You can also add a new permission during execution, taking the current one and concatenating it with the new one: this.$acl.change(this.$acl.get.concat(['read', 'write']))

In your component can add observer for current Rule:

mounted () {
  this.$acl.onChange = newPermission => {
    console.log('Has changed to', newPermission)
  }
}
