QUESTION

How do I implement row-level permissions using blueprint routes in SailsJS 1.x?

Asked 2019-Nov-13 at 22:19

I'm using Sails version 1.2.3 to build rest APIs. Our application requires row-level permissions for some entities. For example, for the same API, certain users/roles the rest API should return a subset of the data. For elevated users the rest API should return the full set of data.

Instead of build custom routes/actions for our application, I'd like to use sails blueprint routes, and apply the necessary row-level permissions to the blueprint routes.

I've tried reviewing the sails-auth and sails-permissions npm packages, but they don't work for sails 1.x.

Is there a way to do this in the current version of SailsJS?

Thanks!

I agree with @mansim. But still, if you want to do this you must override the find and findOne controllers as per requirement.

Steps should be like as follows:

Create a policy that will set a permission flag in the 'req' object.
Read flag from 'req' in the findOne/find method.
Use _.omit(or any javascript method) to remove the details which you don't want to send.

The sails-auth library is a 3rd-party module that hasn't been updated in a few years, so it's likely not compatible with newer versions of Sails (1.0 and later). In the spot where it's failing, it's trying to use sails.getBaseUrl, which is deprecated as of Sails 1.0. (And looks like the capitalization was off to begin with: it's using getBaseurl instead of getBaseUrl with a capital "U", so it may not have worked even with older versions of Sails.)

For built-in auth in Sails 1.0 and later, try generating a new app with: sails new foo --caviar. (You can reference an example app built with that template here.)

sails-auth not generating models, policies etc.,

Asked 2018-Mar-01 at 20:53

I installed a fresh sails application, I planned to integrate passport for authentication. Sails-auth seems to be the easiest way but it just doesn't create any files as said in the doc..

You have to follow the steps explained on https://github.com/trailsjs/sails-auth

First, do npm install sails-auth --save followed by installing a password strategy you want to use, e.g. npm install passport-google-oauth Then create the file config/passport.js with the following content according to the passport strategy you want to use, for example:

QUESTION

sails-auth user table has no password field but still validates

Asked 2017-Apr-10 at 02:31

I just started working with sails-auth and running it from MySql. I see that the user table it automatically generated doesn't have a password field. Odd. I track down the register(?) method and see that it even deletes the password property before creating the user. So I figure that when you Post to auth/local and give it an email and password that it just checks the email exists and ignores the password (leaving it to the user to tweak this later). But when I login and enter a bad password it won't let me. I have to enter a valid password. How does it know what a valid password is when there is no password in the user table??

Thanks.

User has 1-n relationship with Passport model, which contains password field

Usually Ideally, credentials are stored in 1-n relationship with User model, when user can login via various methods e.g. password, OAuth etc.

QUESTION

Migrating to Sails.js 0.12 - middleware migration

Asked 2017-Feb-15 at 08:20

I am migrating an old sails.js project which was written in 0.10.5 to 0.12.x. Since the original code was written a long time ago and may have some "non-conforming" code I decided to re-build the project by starting a new sails project and slowly migrating the models/controllers/services while keeping only necessary policies and configuration files.

So far I managed to get the project to lift and now I am starting to deal with the authentication. Ideally, I intend to move to use passport with jwt to replace existing express-jwt.

My old config/http.js looks like so:

Yes, you can remove the custom middleware. Latest pattern is easier to manage. For starters,

Access-Control-Allow-Origin can be set in config/cors.js
You can use passport-jwt in a more sailsy way by making use of sails-auth module. And splitting the logic into services, using policies to manage the flow etc. The problem with sails-auth is, the module in npm has been published over an year ago. It has several bugs. The GitHub repo though has stable version.

I have made a bare minimum auth server in sails, which you can extend for various passport strategies. The server supports local, bearer, JWT strategies out of the box.
