NOTE: This is the version for Feathers v5. For Feathers v4 use feathers-casl v0

Add access control with CASL to your feathers application.

This project is built for FeathersJS. An open source web framework for building modern real-time applications. It's based on CASL and is a convenient layer to use CASL in feathers.js.

• Fully powered by Feathers 5 & CASL 6
• Allows permissions for all methods create, find, get, update, patch, remove, or create, read, update, delete
• Define permissions not based on methods: can('view', 'Settings') (Bring your custom logic)
• Restrict by conditions: can('create', 'Task', { userId: user.id })
• Restrict by individual fields: cannot('update', 'User', ['roleId'])
• Native support for restrictive $select: can('read', 'User', ['id', 'username']) -> $select: ['id', 'username']
• Support to define abilities for anything (providers, users, roles, 3rd party apps, ...)
• Fully supported adapters: @feathersjs/knex, @feathersjs/memory, @feathersjs/mongodb, feathers-sequelize, not supported: feathers-mongoose, feathers-nedb, feathers-objection
• Support for dynamic rules stored in your database (Bring your own implementation ;) )
• hooks:
  • checkBasicPermission hook for client side usage as a before-hook
  • authorize hook for complex rules
  • Disallow/allow multi methods (create, patch, remove) dynamically with: can('remove-multi', 'Task', { userId: user.id })
• channels:
  • every connection only receives updates based on rules
  • channels-support also regards restrictive fields
  • rules can be defined individually for events
• utils:
  • checkCan to be used in hooks to check authorization before operations
• Baked in support for @casl/angular, @casl/react, @casl/vue and @casl/aurelia
