Project Name: Casbin for Rust
With the efforts of Casbin Community, the Rust version of the Casbin is now ready for production. Casbin-RS can provide access control with blazing fast speed. In the past months, I have developed axum-casbin-auth which is a Casbin access control middleware for axum framework. To understand the implementation of axum-casbin-auth, I have also added a axum-middleware-example, which is a real world based example demonstrating usage of axum-casbin-auth with real applications. All the applications which I worked on now have Github Action CI setup which ensure proper PR checks.
Axum is a web application framework that focuses on ergonomics and modularity. Axum doesn't have its own middleware system, but instead it uses tower::Service. This means axum gets timeouts, tracing, compression, authorization and other compatible tower functionalities for free. It also enables you to share middleware with applications written using hyper or tonic. In the past months, I had been working on integrating Casbin with Axum-web framework.
With axum-casbin-auth, we can now have a basic middleware to handle requests with authorization control. It can basically read username, request path, request method from an user request and send enforce request (sub, domain, obj, act) to casbin enforcer for authorization.
Casbin Axum-web Real World App is a fully functional demo which intergrated with Axum-web, Casbin Axum-web Middleware , Diesel, Casbin Diesel Adaper. The example demonstrates the authorization at some hospital where doctor has write access to report of patient where as patient has read access only. With the intergration of casbin, it can authorize the requests and add policies when new user registered. The application can act as an example for developers to use casbin with axum-web.

Long PR: fix: Make casbin-grpc run
Is repository ready for public use? No, but there has been lot of improvements in the application and now fewer tasks are to be accomplished before we can host casbin-grpc server.
The casbin-rs/examples repository had become pretty large and it was causing pain in maintaining such a large repository due to different examples which were causing version conflicts. The following PR is closed now, its main objective was to make casbin-rs/examples compile and add axum-middleware-example to the repsository.

Poem PR: feat: Request to add poem-casbin in examples of community use
It was a great experience while contributing to Casbin. The learning curve was great and I wish to contibue contributions to the community. Following are the temporary post GSoC plans
- Work on casbin-openraft
- Continue maintaining the existing repositories
- Write documentaions and develop tutorials for casbin ecosystem.
Entire GSoC journey was full of ups and downs. There were days when I got stuck on some stuff for days and suddenly out of nowhere something strikes and I make progress, it taught me to hold patience and importance of open source community. Mentors and OrgAdmin were supportive and available whenever I needed them. I thank my mentors for making the entire journey beautiful.
