Fix the owner role resolver to correctly handle the case when a user
from one model (e.g. Seller) is accessing an instance of another
user-like model (e.g. Customer).
Fix the code resolving OWNER role to correctly handle the situation
where the target model has multiple "belongsTo" relations to the User
model.
Introduce a new model setting "ownerRelations" that enables the new
behavior. When "ownerRelations" is set to true, then all "belongsTo"
relations are considered as granting ownership. Alternatively,
"ownerRelations" can be set to an array of the relations which
are granting ownership.
For example, a document can "belongTo" an author and a reviewer,
but only the author is an owner, the reviewer is not. In this case,
"ownerRelations" should be set to "['author']".
Fix `Role.isOwner()` to check both principalId and principalType.
This fixes a bug where users from different User model were treated
as owners as long as their user id was the same as owner's id.
Allow LoopBack applications to configure multiple User models and share
the same AccessToken model.
To enable this feature:
1) In your custom AccessToken model:
- add a new property "principalType" of type "string".
- configure the relation "belongsTo user" as polymorphic,
using "principalType" as the discriminator
2) In your User models:
- Configure the "hasMany accessTokens" relation as polymorphic,
using "principalType" as the discriminator
When creating custom Role and Principal instances, set your
User model's name as the value of "prinicipalType".
Currently the return type of Role.getRoles() method is inconsistent:
role names are returned for smart roles and role ids are returned for
static roles (configured through user-role mapping).
This commit adds a new option to Role.getRoles() allowing the caller
to request role names to be returned for all types of roles.
Notable side-effects:
- loopback no longer exports "caller" and "arguments" properties
- kv-memory connector is now properly added to the connector registry
- the file "test/support.js" was finally removed
- Fix for current implimentation that returned all models that had any
assigned roles. Context was not carried into listByPrincipalType,
setting roleId as null.
- `loopback.registry` is now a true global registry
- `app.registry` is unique per app object
- `Model.registry` is set when a Model is created using any registry method
- `loopback.localRegistry` and `loopback({localRegistry: true})` when set to `true` this will create a `Registry` per `Application`. It defaults to `false`.
- Move core models `Model` and `PersistedModel` to `lib/`.
- Move `AccessContext` class to `lib/`, since it is not a model.
- Move all other built-in models to `common/models`.
This is a preparation for extracting model definitions to JSON files.
By splitting the change into multiple commits, git is able to keep track
of file moves (renames).
