So, I’m starting to evaluate the main Elixir authorization packages for use in Phoenix, and a quick query on hex reveals this list:
authorize - Rule based authorization for Elixir
bodyguard - Bodyguard is a simple, flexibile authorization library with a focus on Phoenix 1.3+ apps.
canada - A DSL for declarative permissions
canary - An authorization library to restrict what resources the current user is allowed to access, and load those resources for you.
policy_wonk - Plug based authorization and resource loading. Aimed at Phoenix, but depends only on Plug. MIT license Updated to compile clean with Elixir 1.4
As well as OvermindDL1’s
permission_ex - Permission management and checking library for Elixir.
Just curious what people’s experience here have been for ease of use and performance.
For my purposes, I’m mainly interested in relatively coarse-grained permissions.
…for some trivia of the day, here in Japan we refer to this as:
Authorization = 承認 (shonin)
Authentication = 認証 (ninsho)
