Usage
Reducer
Import the reducer and pass it to your store:
import { createStore, combineReducers } from 'redux';
import { reducer as permissions } from "react-redux-permissions"
export function configureStore(initialState = {}) {
return createStore(
combineReducers({
permissions
}),
initialState
);
}
Actions
Add roles to the current user:
import { add } from "react-redux-permissions"
dispatch(add("manager"))
dispatch(add("canSeeMessages")) // Pretty much anything
Remove roles from the current user:
import { remove } from "react-redux-permissions"
dispatch(remove("canSeeMessages"))
Remove all roles. Useful once you logout.
import { clear } from "react-redux-permissions"
dispatch(clear())
Component
You can limit access to your views using the default Permissions component.
allowed
With the allowed
prop, only users with one of the permissions will be able to see child components.
import Permissions from "react-redux-permissions"
...
<Permissions
allowed={["paying"]}
>
<Route path="/dashboard" component={DashboardView} />
</Permissions>
except
With the except
prop, every user except the ones with the passed permission will be able to see child components.
import Permissions from "react-redux-permissions"
...
<Permissions
except={["paying"]}
>
<Route path="/dashboard" component={DashboardView} />
</Permissions>
fallbackElement
You can send a fallbackElement
to show an alternative view for users without permission
import Permissions from "react-redux-permissions"
...
<Permissions
except={["paying"]}
fallbackElement={<DashboardDisabled />}
>
<Route path="/dashboard" component={DashboardView} />
</Permissions>
HOC
You can also use a High Order Component to disable views and components:
Send allowed roles as the first argument and disallowed as the second argument. You can also provide a fallback component as second argument of the second function.
import { HOC as Permissions } from "react-redux-permissions"
const DashboardView = Permissions(
["admin", "paying"],
["trial"]
)(Dashboard, <ModuleDisabled view="Dashboard" />)
...
<Route path="/dashboard" component={DashboardView} />
Avoid using it like:
import { HOC as Permissions } from "react-redux-permissions"
const DashboardView = Permissions(["admin", "paying"], ["trial"])
...
render() {
return (
...
<Route path="/dashboard" component={DashboardView(Dashboard, <ModuleDisabled view="Dashboard" />)} />
...
)
}
This approach inside render will make react mount the component again and cause undesired effects.
