Index

  • Code Index:

    new( $role, $authz_class )

    Represents a role.

    name()

    Returns the name of this role.

    group_name()

    DEPRECATED.

    Use name instead.

    authz

    Returns the Tree::Authz subclass used to instantiate this role.

    list_roles

    Returns a list of roles inherited by this role, including this role.

    setup_permissions( $cando )

    Instance method.

    Adds methods to the class representing the role. $cando is a single method name, or arrayref of method names. No-op methods are added to the class representing the group:

        my $spies = $authz->role( 'spies' );

    my $cando = [ qw( read_secret wear_disguise ) ];

    $spies->setup_permissions( $cando );

    if ( $spies->can( 'read_secret' ) ) {
        warn 'Compromised!';
    }

    warn 'Trust no-one' if $spies->can( 'wear_disguise' );
    setup_abilities( $name => $coderef, [ $name2 => $coderef2 ], ... )

    Instance method.

    Adds methods to the class representing the group. Keys give method names and values are coderefs that will be installed as methods on the group class:

        my $spies = $authz->get_group( 'spies' );

    my %able = ( read_secret => sub {
                    my ($self, $file) = @_;
                    open( SECRET, $file );
                    local $/;
                    <SECRET>;
                    },

                 find_moles => sub { ... },

                );

    $spies->setup_abilities( %able );

    if ( $spies->can( 'read_secret' ) ) {
        print $spies->read_secret( '/path/to/secret/file' );
    }

    # or

    if ( my $read = $spies->can( 'read_secret' ) ) {
        print $spies->$read( '/path/to/secret/file' );
    }

    # with an unknown $group
    my $get_secret = $group->can( 'read_secret' )       ||     # spy
                     $group->can( 'steal_document' )    ||     # mole
                     $group->can( 'create_secret' )     ||     # spymaster
                     $group->can( 'do_illicit_thing' )  ||     # politician
                     sub {};                                   # boring life

    my $secret = $group->$get_secret;
    setup_plugins( $plugins )

    Instance method.

    Instead of adding a set of coderefs to a group's class, this method adds a class to the @ISA array of the group's class.

        package My::Spies;

    sub wear_disguise {}

    sub read_secret {
        my ($self, $file) = @_;
        open( SECRET, $file );
        local $/;
        <SECRET>;
    }

    package main;

    my $spies = $authz->get_group( 'spies' );

    $spies->setup_plugins( 'My::Spies' );

    if ( $spies->can( 'read_secret' ) ) {
        warn 'Compromised!';
        print $spies->read_secret( '/path/to/secret/file' );
    }

    warn 'Trust no-one' if $spies->can( 'wear_disguise' );
