I would like to allow certain transitions to take place only if the current user is authorized to go there.
These routes are all subclassed/extended from a top-level gateway guard route, and within this route I need to find out the destination (already know current user and role).
I want to abort the transition and push him back where he came from, with an optional error message if not too secret.
What is the ember way for doing this?
Maybe not the best way to do it but I would use the beforeModel hook for that purpose.
I would keep each route permission checking independent in order to change it in case you want manage permissions differently in the near future.
Yes I agree that that would be one possible way, but it doesn’t make the management of allowed transitions any easier.
My goal was to be able to define this in a centralized place, and via some kind of permissions matrix allow/disallow transitions based on the role the logged in person has.
Maybe an interesting addon?
Then you should probably define the logic in a service (which you can easily inject into your routers).
Sounds interesting, any tips on where I should look?
I’m also interested in create an addon with this functionality. But I don’t see an efficient way to define the permissions matrix in a centralized, agnostic way.
Any ideas?
