Roles for Mongo Mapper

A Mongo Mapper implementation of Roles Generic See the Roles wiki for an overview of the API and how to use it.

Role strategies

Role strategies implemented:

Inline attribute on User:

• admin_flag
• roles_mask
• role_string
• role_strings

Reference to Role:

• many_roles
• one_role

Strategy and roles configuration

Example: role_string strategy

class User
  include MongoMapper::Document  
  include Roles::MongoMapper 

  strategy :one_role
  valid_roles_are :admin, :guest, :user
end  

Example: one_role strategy

class User
  include MongoMapper::Document  
  include Roles::MongoMapper 

  strategy :one_role
  valid_roles_are :admin, :guest, :user
end  

Rails generator

The library comes with a Rails 3 generator that lets you populate a user model with a role strategy of your choice.

Apply :admin_flag Role strategy to User model using default roles :admin and :guest (default)

$ rails g mongo_mapper:roles User --strategy admin_flag

Apply :admin_flag Role strategy to User model using default roles and extra role :author

$ rails g mongo_mapper:roles_migration User --strategy admin_flag --roles author

Apply :one_role Role strategy to User model without default roles, only with roles :user, :special and :editor

$ rails g mongo_mapper:roles_migration User --strategy one_role --roles user special editor --no-default-roles

Note on Patches/Pull Requests

• Fork the project.
• Make your feature addition or bug fix.
• Add tests for it. This is important so I don't break it in a future version unintentionally.
• Commit, do not mess with rakefile, version, or history. (if you want to have your own version, that is fine but bump version in a commit by itself I can ignore when I pull)
• Send me a pull request. Bonus points for topic branches.
