grpc-acl

library0.0.5jsnpmunverified

A gRPC-based ACL (Access Control List) microservice built on condor-framework and the acl library. Version 0.0.5, last updated in 2018, no recent releases. It wraps acl's memory, Redis, or MongoDB backends into a gRPC service. Differentiator: exposes acl methods via gRPC proto, enabling cross-language ACL management. Requires condor-framework >=1.5.1 and acl >=0.4.10 as peer dependencies. Minimal documentation, no active maintenance.

AclServer

✓ const AclServer = require('grpc-acl').AclServer;

✗ import { AclServer } from 'grpc-acl';

Package uses CommonJS; no ESM exports. Use require() or compile with bundler.

grpc-acl (default)

✓ const grpcAcl = require('grpc-acl');

Default export is the module, use .AclServer to access class.

Shows how to start a gRPC ACL server with memory backend using require().

const acl = require('acl'); const AclServer = require('grpc-acl').AclServer; const backend = new acl.memoryBackend(); const options = { host: 'localhost', port: 3000 }; const server = new AclServer(backend, options); server.start(); console.log('ACL gRPC server running on localhost:3000');

Known issues

deprecatedThis package is effectively abandoned; no updates since 2018. Consider alternatives like openfga or casbin.

fix

Migrate to a maintained authorization service.

affects: 0.0.5

gotchaPeer dependencies must be installed separately; they are not automatically installed.

fix

Run: npm install acl condor-framework

affects: >=0.0.1

gotchaThe aclProtoFilePath defaults to './acl.proto' which may conflict with your own proto files.

fix

Set options.aclProtoFilePath to a custom path if needed.

affects: >=0.0.1
