ACL / Roles + Permissions

Virgen-ACL (virgen-acl)

• https://github.com/djvirgen/virgen-acl
• "Simple in-memory ACL for node.js apps. Supports arbitrary roles and resources, including role/resource detection using a simple interface. Additionally supports custom assertions for more complex rules."
• Comments: "Simple and elegant, create your own checks. No middleware?"

Node ACL (acl)

• https://github.com/OptimalBits/node_acl
• "...a minimalistic ACL implementation inspired by Zend_ACL."

ACL / Roles + Permissions

https://github.com/djvirgen/virgen-acl Simple and elegant, create your own checks. No middleware?

https://github.com/OptimalBits/node_acl Use as middleware, create your own roles and access. Great choice.

https://github.com/tschaub/authorized Similar to connect roles... but a bit more robust? you can create roles and action, and associate many roles with that action

The Revealing Module Pattern in Javascript

Zach Caceres

Javascript does not have the typical 'private' and 'public' specifiers of more traditional object oriented languages like C# or Java. However, you can achieve the same effect through the clever application of Javascript's function-level scoping. The Revealing Module pattern is a design pattern for Javascript applications that elegantly solves this problem.

The central principle of the Revealing Module pattern is that all functionality and variables should be hidden unless deliberately exposed.

Let's imagine we have a music application where a musicPlayer.js file handles much of our user's experience. We need to access some methods, but shouldn't be able to mess with other methods or variables.

Using Function Scope to Create Public and Private Methods

# /etc/init/puma.conf - Puma config

# This example config should work with Ubuntu 12.04+.  It
# allows you to manage multiple Puma instances with
# Upstart, Ubuntu's native service management tool.
#
# See puma-manager.conf for how to manage all Puma instances at once.
#
# Save this config as /etc/init/puma.conf then manage puma with:
#   sudo start puma app=PATH_TO_APP

# This example config should work with Ubuntu 12.04+.  It

#
# See puma.conf for how to manage a single Puma instance.
#
# Use "stop puma-manager" to stop all Puma instances.
# Use "start puma-manager" to start all instances.
