Permit RBAC

This application expands upon the concepts introduced in this article, offering a more complete and up-to-date implementation. While the original tutorial provides a helpful foundation, it’s somewhat unclear in places and relies on a deprecated CASL setup. This repository aims to clarify those gaps and provide a more reliable reference.

Thoughts

• Article is missing Task and TaskService implementation code. I created my own Task interface and used completed instead of finished so the template code needs to updated accordingly. Use find and replace.
• Although the article isn't that old, the CASL implementation is problematic as much of it is deprecated (Ability, AblePipe, etc).
• Added a few error checks / early termination in server.js.
• Styling isn't quite the same. I didn't use the correct Angular Material theme to match the article's screenshots.

How to Use

• Need to create a Permit.io account. Create a workspace and set the API key Permit generates for the workspace to PERMIT_API_KEY in an .env file inside the server folder.
• Need to run server first -> cd server / npm start before starting the client and visiting localhost:4200.
• The deprecated CASL implementation code is available in the client README file.
