Permissions Service

The @rhapsody/permissions package is now available and replaces both calling the Devise.hasPermission/Devise.hasAnyPermission methods and directly accessing devise.current_account.permission_names. The service exposes the hasPermission and hasAnyPermission functions to check a user's assigned permissions.

Example

import { hasAnyPermission, hasPermission } from '@rhapsody/permissions'

function AdminLink() {
  if (hasPermission('permission_a')) {
    return <a href="/settings/team">Team Settings</a>
  } else if (hasAnyPermission(['permission_b', 'permission_c'])) {
    return <a href="/settings/superadmin">Superadmin Settings</a>
  } else {
    return null
  }
}

The permissions service is written in Typescript and can be used in JavaScript and Typescript code. New code should use this service and any existing non-Angular code should be refactored to use this service as well. Existing Angular code referencing Devise.hasPermission/Devise.hasAnyPermission or devise.current_account.permission_names can be left as-is since all of these permission checking mechanisms use the permissions service under the hood.
