A guide to Auth & Access Control in web apps 🔐
https://github.com/CanCanCommunity/cancancan (Ruby on Rails ABAC) Same like casl.js, but for Ruby on Rails! Casl.js was actually inspired and modeled by cancancan.

Authentication, Roles, and Authorization... oh my.
For authorization, I'm going back and forth with Pundit and CanCanCan

Feature flags in Rails: How to roll out and manage your features like a pro
This code mounts the Flipper UI at the /flipper endpoint in your application. The RoleConstraint class is used to restrict access to the UI to users who have the manage role. You can customize this constraint to suit your specific needs. In this case, we're using the CanCanCan gem to gate specific routes to admin users. If you haven't worked with CanCanCan before, ignore the RoleConstraint portion.

How would you store roles with up to 64 permissions?
Would you do : 1. a roles table with the name of the role and 64 booleans? 2. A roles table with one JSON field? (using rails json data type) 3. A roles table and a permissions table, similar do what is suggested in the cancancan developpers guide:

Protect your GraphQL data with resource_policy
Expressing authorization rules can be a bit challenging with the use of other authorization gems, such as pundit or cancancan. The resource_policy gem provides a more concise and expressive policy definition that uses a simple block-based syntax that makes it easy to understand and write authorization rules for each attribute.

Permissions (access control) in web apps

Web-app security risks demonstrated
In production code you would most likely use a library for access control, such as CanCanCan

YAGNI exceptions
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.

Best practice for displaying info to different user roles?
You can use a gem like cancancan (https://github.com/CanCanCommunity/cancancan )to manage authorization, and its helpers to show stuff based on what a user can do

Test Driving a Rails API - Part Two
When starting a Rails project, you have a lot of decisions to make. Whether or not to write tests should not be one of them. The big decision is to use Minitest or Rspec. Both of those testing frameworks are great and provide everything you need to test a Rails application thoroughly.

Introduction to Rails API: How to Create Your First Endpoint in Less Than a Minute?
After all requests have been added, we need to cover them using request specs to ensure that everything will work as expected in the future as well. To add specs, we will use the rspec-rails gem. Our plan is to cover the 4 HTTP request methods that have been added above:

Should i learn testing
as a beginner you can skip it, just focus on understanding Rails' philosophy and getting comfortable with it. However, make sure you remember to come back to unit testing later bc it's a mandatory skill for a Rails developer. Unit test can help you understand your project's specs thoroughly (assume its test coverage is more than 90%). I recommend learning RSpec instead of Rails' built-in testing tool (the one being used in the Rails tutorial iirc)

Code Reviewing a Ruby on Rails application.
RSpec is a testing framework for Ruby that is widely used in the Ruby on Rails community. It allows developers to write and execute automated tests. RSpec promotes behavior-driven development (BDD) by providing a readable syntax for describing the expected behavior of the application.

Generating an OpenAPI/Swagger spec from a Ruby on Rails API
This is where rswag comes in. It is an extension to rspec-rails for "describing and testing API operations".
