gem 'cancancan-activegraph'
Given Article
has has_one
relation with Author
. To give access to all articles which are authored by current users, we can use can rule like following,
can :read, Article, author: { id: user.id }
To define length of relationship, we can use rel_legth
on realtionship conditions like bellow. Here all the one and two level deep friends of the user will be accessible.
can :read, User, friends: { rel_length: {min: 1, max: 2}, id: user.id }
To check existance or non existance of relationship, we can specify true
or false
on relationship like bellow. Here all the users who don't have friends will be returned.
can :read, User, friends: false
To use scope with a rule, you can do folowing.
can :read, User, User.where(active: true)
You can use simple rules like can :read, User
with rule like above, but can not use rules with another scope and hash conditions. The order of rules also matter.
Check on specs for more usage.
