Oso Cloud Client for Node.js

[![Slack][badge-slack]][badge-slack-link]

The Oso Cloud client for Node.js provides a convenient wrapper around the Oso
Cloud HTTP API for applications and services written in server-side JavaScript
or TypeScript.

What is Oso Cloud?

Oso Cloud is authorization-as-a-service. It provides abstractions for building
and iterating on authorization in your application – based on years of work
with hundreds of engineering teams.

- Model: Build your authorization model using primitives for common patterns
like multi-tenancy and RBAC. Express custom rules using Polar, a
declarative policy language for authorization.

- Store: Store your authorization data using a best-practices data model and
use it for access decisions across all of your services.

- Enforce & Query: Add enforcement calls to your application to perform
yes/no permission checks, filter resources by permissions, list a user's
roles, and show/hide pieces of your UI.

- Test & Watch: Write tests over your authorization policies before you push
them live. See logs of authorization decisions in real time.

For more information on how Oso Cloud works and how it fits into your
architecture, check out the
introduction.
