Adds an authorizedRoles object to remotingContext.args.options
which contains all the roles (static and dynamic) that are
granted to the user when performing a request through
strong-remoting to an app with authentication enabled.
The authorizedRoles object for example looks like:
{
$everyone: true,
$authenticated: true,
myRole: true
}
NOTE: this pr also covers a number of jsdoc fixes as well
as refactoring in ACL.js and access-context.js
Allow custom properties to be added to Change Model,
and make change filter customizable through mixins
to allow to add the custom property to the filter
used to look up relevant changes during change replication.
Modify `app.enableAuth()` to verify that (custom) User and AccessToken
models have correctly configured their hasMany/belongsTo relations
and print a warning otherwise.
Fix the code loading builtin models to always clone the JSON object
used as model settings/definition. This is needed to allow applications
to modify model settings while not affecting settings of new models
created in the local registry of another app.
Add a new model-level setting "replicationChunkSize" which allows
users to configure change replication algorithm to issue several
smaller requests to fetch changes and upload updates.
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".
The option injectOptionsFromRemoteContext was added to LoopBack 2.x only
and is not available in LoopBack 3.x (and newer).
When a model with this option is encountered, we are printing a warning
message now, to let the user know about this change between 2.x and 3.x.
Define a new Model method "createOptionsFromRemotingContext" that allows
models to define what "options" should be passed to methods invoked
via strong-remoting (e.g. REST).
Define a new http mapping `http: 'optionsFromRequest'` that invokes
`Model.createOptionsFromRemotingContext` to build the value from
remoting context.
This should provide enough infrastructure for components and
applications to implement their own ways of building the "options"
object.
In strict mode, creating properties on strings is not allowed.
As a result, creating a new datasource fails with the following
error:
TypeError: Cannot create data source "db":
Cannot create property 'name' on string 'mongodb'
In this commit, we fix the code to assign the connector name only
if the connector is an object (not a string).
Add "returnOnlyRoleNames" option to Role.getRoles
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.
this is needed because we added allowArray flag to persisted model's
remoteMethod, but when relations try to rebuild such methods, it does
not carry over such flags
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
In strong-remoting 3.x, we have stricken the coercion of inputs
methods that are expecting an Object will nolonger accept an array
as input, to preserve backwards compatibility we have added flag
allowArray in remote arguments, which would accept an array of objects
Fix a typo in "app.enableAuth" that caused the method to not detect
the situation when e.g. the built-in User model is already attached
to a datasource.
Fix the definition of "data" argument to
{ type: 'object', model: modelName, ... }
That way strong-remoting passed the request body directly to the model
method (does not create a new model instance), but the swagger will
still provide correct schema for these arguments.
This fixes a bug where upsert in relation methods was adding default
property values to request payload.
Current implementation of `app.model(modelName, settings)`
works as a sugar for model creation. In 3.0, this is
not supported anymore. This implementation reports an
error when sugar is used for model creation.
Includes:
- Updated app.model() method
- Fixed test cases reflecting the change
