Set a directory limit for require and fs functions.
**Notice: This module should Not be relied on for security on its own.
You should Never depend on this module to block unknown users from a directory.
This module is build so you can easily try to limit yourself from accidentally exiting a directory, or to limit admins to a specific root, but that does Not mean it will always work.**
``shell script`
npm install @aspiesoft/limit-dirpath
`js`
const LimitDirpath = require('@aspiesoft/limit-dirpath');
`js
// options, and their defaults
LimitDirpath({
throwErrors: true,
root: false,
require: 'modules',
modules: true,
fs: false,
eval: false,
});
// to include a root limited fs function
const fs = LimitDirpath({root: __dirname, fs: true}).fs;
`
throwErrors
- If true, will through errors.false
- If , will return null or undefined.
root
- Set to a dir path to limit file requests to that path.
- If false, will try to grab the dirname from the main file.
require
- This node module modifies the default require function, to help add limits.
There are also a few options for this.
- If true, will allow any file within the root option you set.false
- If , will try to completely disable the require function.'module'
- Set to , to attempt to only allow node_modules to be required.
modules
- There are some additional options to control requiring modules.
- If true, will allow any node_module to be required.false
- If , will try to block any node_modules from being required.array
- Set to an , to only allow node_modules mentioned in that list.object
- Set to an , to use array lists: allow and deny.
fs
- This node module can generate a new, and limited fs function.
It cannot override the original fs module, the modules fs and fs-extra will not be allowed.
You should manually deny any other modules, or only allow specific ones.
This module uses fs-extra to add some extra capabilities to make up for the permission restrictions.
- If false, fs is not added.true
- If , a root limited fs object will be returned from the function, with all fs actions allowed by defaultarray
- If an , you can list what fs actions are allowed.['read', 'write', 'stream', 'add', 'modify', 'append', 'delete', 'rename', 'watch', 'copy', 'move', 'exists', 'sync', 'dir', 'js', 'json']
-
- read: allows reading files
- stream: can createReadStream
- write: allows writing to files
- stream: can createWriteStream
- add: can add new files
- modify: can modify existing files
- if add and modify are not included, but write is, there both assumed as true
- append: can append to a file
- delete: can delete files
- rename: can rename files
- watch: can watch files
- copy: can copy files
- move: can move files
- exists: can check if files exist
- sync: can run readSync, writeSync, ect.
- dir: can do similar allowed actions with directories
- js: can run methods on files that end with
- json: can run methods on files that end with
eval

- If , will override the eval function, with a permission denied function.'global'
- If , will override eval, but not global.eval`.
