Rule registry for django
Project description
This is a simple alternative to django-rules. Its core difference is that it does not rely on models. Instead, it uses a registry which can be modified at runtime.
One of its goals is to enable developers 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 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
# But others shouldn't mess with my posts !
def is_staff_or_mine(user, rule, obj):
return user.is_staff or obj.author == user
rules_light.registry['blog.post.update'] = is_staff_or_mine
rules_light.registry['blog.post.delete'] = is_staff_or_mineExample 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 = PostYou might want to read the tutorial for more.
What’s the catch ?
The catch is that this approach does not offer any feature to get secure querysets.
This means you have to:
think about security when making querysets,
override eventual external app ListViews,
