🚨 Announcing Vendure v2 Beta

PermissionDefinition

PermissionDefinition

Defines a new Permission with which to control access to GraphQL resolvers & REST controllers. Used in conjunction with the Allow decorator (see example below).

Note: To define CRUD permissions, use the CrudPermissionDefinition.

Example

export const sync = new PermissionDefinition({
  name: 'SyncInventory',
  description: 'Allows syncing stock levels via Admin API'
});
const config: VendureConfig = {
  authOptions: {
    customPermissions: [sync],
  },
}
@Resolver()
export class ExternalSyncResolver {

  @Allow(sync.Permission)
  @Mutation()
  syncStockLevels() {
    // ...
  }
}

Signature

class PermissionDefinition {
  constructor(config: PermissionDefinitionConfig)
  Permission: Permission
}

Members

type:
(config: PermissionDefinitionConfig) => PermissionDefinition

Permission

property
type:

CrudPermissionDefinition

Defines a set of CRUD Permissions for the given name, i.e. a name of ‘Wishlist’ will create 4 Permissions: ‘CreateWishlist’, ‘ReadWishlist’, ‘UpdateWishlist’ & ‘DeleteWishlist’.

Example

export const wishlist = new CrudPermissionDefinition('Wishlist');
const config: VendureConfig = {
  authOptions: {
    customPermissions: [wishlist],
  },
}
@Resolver()
export class WishlistResolver {

  @Allow(wishlist.Create)
  @Mutation()
  createWishlist() {
    // ...
  }
}

class CrudPermissionDefinition extends PermissionDefinition {
  constructor(name: string, descriptionFn?: (operation: 'create' | 'read' | 'update' | 'delete') => string)
