feat(nextjs,shared,backend,clerk-react): Introduce Protect for authorization #2170

panteliselef · 2023-11-20T13:19:37Z

Description

This PR builds upon the Experimental__Gate and experimental__has there introduced recently.

Rename Gate to Protect
Support for permission checks. (Previously only roles could be used)
Remove the experimental tags and prefixes
Drop some from the has utility and Protect. Protect now accepts a condition prop where a function is expected with the has being exposed as the param.
Protect can now be used without required props. In this case behaves as <SignedIn>, if no authorization props are passed.
has will throw an error if neither permission or role is passed.
Introduce auth().protect() for App Router.

auth().protect()

Allow per page protection in app router. This utility will automatically throw a 404 error if user is not authorized or authenticated.
When auth().protect() is called

inside a page or layout file it will render the nearest not-found component set by the developer
inside a route handler it will return empty response body with a 404 status code

Examples

RSC in Nextjs

import { Protect } from '@clerk/nextjs';

<Protect permission="org:appointment:accept">
    <button>Accept appointment</button>
</Protect>

<Protect
  condition={has =>
    has({ permission: 'org:appointment:accept' }) || has({ permission: 'org:appointment:decline' })
  }>
     <button>Accept appointment</button>
     <button>Decline appointment</button>
</Protect>

Client component

"use client"
/**
 * As a client component
 * The client component is exposed also from `@clerk/clerk-react
 */
import { Protect } from '@clerk/nextjs'; 

<Protect permission="org:appointment:accept">
    <button>Accept appointment</button>
</Protect>

<Protect
  condition={has =>
    has({ permission: 'org:appointment:accept' }) || has({ permission: 'org:appointment:decline' })
  }>
     <button>Accept appointment</button>
     <button>Decline appointment</button>
</Protect>

`has` from the Auth object

import { auth } from '@clerk/nextjs';

const isAuthorized = auth().has({permission: "org:appointment:decline"})

import { getAuth } from '@clerk/remix';

const isAuthorized = getAuth().has({permission: "org:appointment:decline"})

`protect` from `auth()` only for App Router

import { auth } from '@clerk/nextjs';

const {userId, ...restAuthObj } = auth().protect()
// ^ userId is string

const {userId, ...restAuthObj } = auth().protect({permission: "org:appointment:decline"})
const {userId, ...restAuthObj } = auth().protect({role: "org:admin"})
const {userId, ...restAuthObj } = auth().protect(has => has({permission: "org:appointment:decline"}))

Type-safety for custom roles and permissions

Create a clerk.d.ts file and replace ClerkAuthorization with your own types

// clerk.d.ts

interface ClerkAuthorization {
  role: 'org:admin' | 'org:editor' | 'org:viewer';
  permission: 'org:article:create' | 'org:article:manage' | 'org:article:publish';
}

If the file is a module, you can do this

// clerk.d.ts

declare global {
  interface ClerkAuthorization {
    role: 'org:admin' | 'org:editor' | 'org:viewer';
    permission: 'org:article:create' | 'org:article:manage' | 'org:article:publish';
  }
}

export {};

    debugLoggerName: 'auth()',
    noAuthStatusMessage: authAuthHeaderMissing(),

We talked about supporting redirectUrl as an optional parameter when doing authz checks, but I can't remember if we decided to omit that for the initial implementation 🤔

auth().protect({ role: 'admin' }, { redirectUrl: '/home' })

I think we are skipping this. Especially with something like notAuthorized we wouldn't need to support redirectUrl

Public API-wise I'd like to talk about this before we merge it (hence the request changes to block it):

<Protect condition={has => has({"org:appointment:accept"}) || has({"org:appointment:decline"}) }>

This feels inconsistent. It would need to be either of those two things:

Like the <Protect permission="foobar"> prop so without the {}
Like the rest of the has functions so { permission: "foobar" }

I'd prefer 2) as then has would be consistent everywhere

PR description was incorrect, implementation is like 2)

LekoArts

Good work 👍
