===============

 

Loopback mixin to disable remote methods not included in acls.

Installation

npm install loopback-disable-all-remote-methods-mixin --save

Usage

Add the mixins property to your server/model-config.json:

``json
{
"_meta": {
"sources": [
"loopback/common/models",
"loopback/server/models",
"../common/models",
"./models"
],
"mixins": [
"loopback/common/mixins",
"../node_modules/loopback-disable-all-remote-methods-mixin",
"../common/mixins"
]
}
}
`

Add mixin params in in model definition. Example:
`
{
"name": "Person",
"properties": {
"name": "string"
},
"properties": {
"name": "string"
},
"mixins": {
"DisableAllRemoteMethods": {
"active": true,
"debug": true
}
},
"relations": {
"mother": {
"type": "belongsTo",
"model": "Person"
}
},
"acls": [
{
"accessType": "EXECUTE",
"principalType": "ROLE",
"principalId": "$everyone",
"permission": "DENY",
"property": "*"
},
{
"accessType": "EXECUTE",
"principalType": "ROLE",
"principalId": "$everyone",
"permission": "ALLOW",
"property": "find"
},
{
"accessType": "EXECUTE",
"principalType": "ROLE",
"principalId": "$everyone",
"permission": "ALLOW",
"property": [
"prototype.patchAttributes",
"patchAttributes"
]
}
]
}
`

In the above definitions, all remote methods (including relations methods) has been disabled, except the methods find and prototype.patchAttributes. If you open loopback-component-external you will notice that just this methods are visible.
