Fast and simple RBAC lib
npm install fast-rbac







Implementation of RBAC module tuned to be fast
Main rules:
- No RegEx
- O(1) time complexity for checking rules
- Wildcard and inherited rules caching
- No foolproof checks (use docs, jsdoc, types and implement those checks on your side if necessary)
- Zero dependency

``sh`
npm i fast-rbac --save
- Wildcard rules support
- Inheritance support
- Typescript support
- Prebuilt browser amd and system modules
- It's fast
---
- Node.js >=8.0.0.
For using this lib in browser it provides three options:
- AMD-style: dist/browser/rbac.bundle.amd.jsdist/browser/rbac.bundle.amd.js
- System-style: dist/browser/index.js
- ES6: (module property is set for using with rollup and webpack)dist/browser/rbac.bundle.js
- IIFE: and dist/browser/rbac.bundle.min.js (not tested, it may not work properly)
So how fast is it? Here are results from simple benchmark with 3 roles.
``
@rbac/rbac x 46,003 ops/sec ±0.48% (87 runs sampled)
rbac:no_wildcard_support x 95,564 ops/sec ±1.55% (84 runs sampled)
easy-rbac x 45,884 ops/sec ±0.74% (89 runs sampled)
fast-rbac x 1,516,366 ops/sec ±0.38% (97 runs sampled)
fast-rbac:defer x 1,037,149 ops/sec ±0.71% (86 runs sampled)
Benchmark code is available in benchmark directory.
For more details refer to benchmark doc.
NOTE : No cyclic roles inheritance. You've been warned.
can method returns boolean if 3 arguments are passed to it.Promise
It could return if rule has when function and context is passed.when
Even if your function doesn't consume any arguments you need to pass context (e.g. null or {}) in order to execute it.context
Whithout the function when will be not executed and can will return true.
`js
import RBAC from 'fast-rbac';
// or
// const {RBAC} = require('fast-rbac');
// or
// const RBAC = require('fast-rbac').default;
const a = new RBAC({
roles: {
user: { can: ['cat:create', 'dog:*', { name: 'foo', operation: 'read' }] },
prouser: { can: ['cat:update'], inherits: ['user', 'reader'] },
admin: { can: ['*'] },
reader: { can: ['*:read'], inherits: ['anon'] },
anon: {
can: [
{
name: '*:read',
when: (ctx) => {
const result: Promise
resolve(ctx.color === 'red');
});
return result;
},
},
],
},
},
});
console.log(a.can('user', 'dog', 'read')); // true
(async () => {
console.log(await a.can('anon', 'cat', 'read', { color: 'red' })); // true
})();
a.add('someone', 'something', 'read');
console.log(a.can('someone', 'something', 'read')); // true
console.log(a.can('someone', 'something', 'write')); // false
a.remove('someone', 'something', 'read');
console.log(a.can('someone', 'something', 'read')); // false

PRs welcome!
- [x] Add/delete roles in runtime
- [x] Add some unit tests
- [ ] Add possibility to add/delete roles inherits
- [ ] Deal with circular role inheritance (but I'm totally ok with callstack error)
