NAME

Authorization::AccessControl::Request - constructs an ACL request and checks if it is accepted

SYNOPSIS

return unless(acl->request
  ->with_roles('admin')
  ->with_resource('Media')
  ->with_action('create')
  ->permitted);

acl->request...->yield(sub() { ... })
  ->granted(sub ($x) { ... })
  ->denied(sub() { ... })

DESCRIPTION

This class is used to construct a request and check if the ACL accepts it. The 4 with_* methods are used to configure it, with later calls to the same method overwriting previous ones (with the exception of with_attributes which merges instead).

"permitted" can be called directly, or via "yield", but either way, it will return false until "with_resource" and with_action have been called to configure it.

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

METHODS

with_roles

$req->with_roles( @roles )

Returns a new request instance with its roles property configured to match the parameter value.

Chainable.

with_action

$req->with_action( $action )

Returns a new request instance with its action property configured to match the parameter value.

Chainable.

with_resource

$req->with_resource( $resource )

Returns a new request instance with its resource property configured to match the parameter value.

Chainable.

with_attributes

$req->with_attributes( $attributes )

Returns a new request instance with its attributes property merged with the parameter value.

Chainable.

with_get_attrs

$req->with_get_attrs( sub($value) { ... } )

Returns a new request instance with its get_attrs property configured to match the parameter value. This is a callback that receives a protected data value (in "yield") and returns the corresponding dynamic attributes for it.

Chainable.

precheck

$req->precheck()

Identical to "permitted", except that on_perimit and on_deny handlers are not invoked. Should only be used for preauthorizing an action (i.e., to determine what options to show the user)

permitted

$req->permitted()

Returns a boolean value reflecting whether the request's configured properties satisfy the requirements for any grant in the ACL.

yield

$req->yield(sub() { ... })

Returns an Authorization::AccessControl::Disapatch instance corresponding to the data value returned by the callback and its permitted status.
