gell-org

gell-based approach to working with organizational hierarchies

WIP

• most applications deal with some sort of organizational hierarchy
• an organization can simply be groups of users, or can be more complicated

• dynamodb is used here as a persistence layer

  • could provide other implementations in a "plugin" approach

• - logic/sequences for common capabilities

• 	- query

• 	- search

• 	- add

• 	- remove

• 	- update

• 	- move/reclassify

• 	- label

• 	- index?

• - authorization?

• - does everything have a parent?

• 	- is the parent the ecosystem?

• ITEM ATTRIBUTES

• - id: unique identifier of the thing

• - parentId: unique identifier of the parent

• - type: entity type

• NON INDEXED/QUERYABLE

• - name

• - title

• - description

DynamoDB Persistence

/**

• APPROACH #1

• - key is id only

• - allows for simple lookup

• - indexes for other types of queries

• APPROACH #2

• - key is org id and id

• - possible id only index

• - possible type and id index

• 	- this wouldn't work for a universal login

Directory Abstraction

• this package may be further abtracted as a "directory"
• support other hierarchies besides organizations
