Rule registry for django
Project description
This is a simple alternative to django-rules. The core difference is that it uses as registry that can be modified on runtime, instead of database models.
One of the goal is to enable developpers of external apps to make rules, depend on it, while allowing a project to override rules.
Example your_app/rules_light_registry.py:
# Everybody can create or read a blog post (for now!):
rules_light.registry['blog.post.read'] = True
# Require authentication to create a blog post, using a shortcut:
rules_light.registry['blog.post.create'] = rules_light.is_authenticated
def is_staff_or_mine(user, rule, obj):
return user.is_staff or obj.author == user
# But others shouldn't mess with my posts !
rules_light.registry['blog.post.update'] = is_staff_or_mine
rules_light.registry['blog.post.delete'] = is_staff_or_mine
Example your_app/views.py:
@rules_light.class_decorator
class PostDetailView(generic.DetailView):
model = Post
@rules_light.class_decorator
class PostCreateView(generic.CreateView):
model = Post
@rules_light.class_decorator
class PostUpdateView(generic.UpdateView):
model = Post
@rules_light.class_decorator
class PostDeleteView(generic.DeleteView):
model = Post

What’s the catch ?
The catch is that this approach does not offer any feature to get secure querysets.
This means that the developper has to:
think about security when making querysets,
override eventual external app ListViews,
Requirements
Maintained against Python 2.7
and Django 1.4+
Quick Install
