apiDoc VS CASL

Compared to the first three tools, apiDoc takes a different approach towards generating documentation. Rather than rely on an API definition file like OAS, apiDoc is a package that allows you to add documentation directly into your source code through annotations. While there are third-party libraries that can create OAS files based on code annotations, having this built-in makes apiDoc slightly better if you want to control documentation through code instead of having a separate tool.

apidoc is a node plugin that can be installed in the node application. This plugin helps to write and generate REST API documents for node.js applications.

You can find numerous libraries dedicated to authorization, depending on the language you use. For example, CASL is a Javascript library that helps you model flexible authorization schemes utilizing a set of declarative APIs. The “give me the list of Article readable to the current user” problem can be modeled and queried like the following:

You must do something like ACL, Cognito layer isn't the way to achive what do you want to do. Remember, Cognito isn't nothing more than an 3rd party authorization provider with user pools, restricted access to your own resources must be handled in your logic app layer instead Cognito. However I suggest you to read about ACLs (can you check out this ie https://github.com/stalniy/casl) and differences between ACLs and authentication providers.

PS If you do mobile / web work (or something else with "detached" UI), I find that declarative access control rules are far superior to imperative ones, because they can be serialized and shipped over the wire. For example, backend running cancancan can be easily send the same rules to casl on the frontend, while if you used something like pundit to secure your backend, you either end up re-implementing it in the frontend, or sending ton of "canEdit" flags with every record.

I'm trying to integrate @casl/vue with Vue 3, and I'm afraid I'm having problems.

Do you have any experience? How does it compare to other alternative like https://casbin.org, https://casl.js.org? There are tons of libraries, actually I'm little bit lost.
