NAME

Authorization::AccessControl::Dispatch - Dispatch result/status appropriately following ACL request yield

SYNOPSIS

use Authorization::AccessControl::Dispatch;

my $dispatch = Authorization::AccessControl::Dispatch->new(
  granted => 1,
  entity => 'some secure value');

$dispatch->denied(...); # not called
$dispatch->null(...); # not called
$dispatch->granted(sub($val) { $c->render(text => $val) }); # renders value

$request->yield(sub(){...})
  ->granted(sub($val) { #handle success 
  })
  ->denied(sub() { # handle denial
  })
  ->null(sub() { # handle not found
  })

Handlers can be repeated:

$request->yield(sub(){...})
  ->granted(sub($value){ $c->render(json => $value) })
  ->granted(\&write_audit_log)

DESCRIPTION

This is a lightweight class that simply facilitates a "promise-style" callback interface for dealing with the result of yield in Authorization::AccessControl::Request

Dispatch instances are immutable: none of their properties may be altered after object creation.

METHODS

new

Authorization::AccessControl::Dispatch->new(granted => [0|1|undef], entity => ...)

Creates a new Dispatch instance. granted is a trinary value reflecting the request status: "truthy" indicates permitted, "falsy" indicates denied, and undefined indicates that necessary attributes could not be evaluated because the data value was not present. entity is the data value, to be passed to "granted" handlers. If granted is anything but "truthy", the entity value is immediately undefined before proceeding.

granted

$dispatch->granted(sub($result){...})

Registers a handler to be executed when the request is permitted by the ACL. Handler receives one argument: the yielded value

Repeatable. Chainable.

denied

$dispatch->denied(sub(){...})

Registers a handler to be executed when the request is denied by the ACL. Handler receives no arguments.

Repeatable. Chainable.

null

$dispatch->null(sub(){ ... })

Registers a handler to be executed when the yielded value is undefined. Handler receives no arguments.

Repeatable. Chainable.

is_granted

$dispatch->is_granted()

Returns a boolean value reflecting whether or not the request was permitted by the ACL
