Support for Polymorphic Associations #430

Another strategy is to model access control declaratively and enforce it in the application layer. ZenStack (built above Prisma ORM) and Hasura are good examples of this approach. The following code shows how access policies are defined with ZenStack and how a secured CRUD API can be derived automatically.

ZenStack is a toolkit built above Prisma that adds access control, automatic CRUD web API, etc. It unleashes the ORM's full power for full-stack development.

We need to have some concrete language to build to help make sense of things. I always felt real-world examples are much more effective than toys, so I'll use the ZModel language that we're building at ZenStack as an example. It's a DSL used to model database tables and access control rules. To keep the post short, I'm going only to use a small set of features to demonstrate. Our goal will be to compile the following code snippet:

It's assumed that you know the basics of using Prisma. Prisma is an excellent ORM. But it doesn't have a built-in authorization solution. To supplement that, we'll use ZenStack throughout the samples. ZenStack is a toolkit that supercharges Prisma in many ways. One of the features is to provide a declarative way to model authorization. Its modeling language, ZModel, is a superset of Prisma Schema Language, so it should be easily understandable to people familiar with Prisma.

ZenStack takes a unique approach and solves the problem at a slightly higher level: the ORM. It is implemented above Prisma ORM and supports a wide variety of databases. It extends Prisma to allow modeling access policies inside the data schema and enforces them at runtime by injecting into Prisma queries.

If you generate Prisma queries as we do here, you can inject extra filtering conditions into the generated query object. Here's the nice thing: ZenStack can do it automatically for you.

ZenStack for automatic enforcement of access control. ZenStack is a toolkit that extends Prisma ORM to allow you to model access policies and data schema in one place.

Cal.com is an open-source event-juggling scheduler for everyone, and is free for individuals.

Turborepo is a tool that makes it easy to manage monorepos with pnpm and typescript. On large open source porject like cal.com they use it for fast building or running developing tasks like testing or linting. Turborepo depend havily on caching so it would reduce signficantly the time to build or run the tasks as well as CI/CD pipelines time and cost.

The next codebase to analyse is cal.com. This repo is larger than jsoncrack. It is a monorepo with packages and lots of stuff going behind the scenes.

hey, peer here from cal.com. we have an issue where we track all individual caldav implementations: https://github.com/calcom/cal.com/issues/9990

Cal - Alternative to Calendly

I force clients who want to talk to me to book a call. I use cal.com (free) and my Google Calendar (which its linked to) only allows calls on specific days/times. I have a few "Call Blocks" where they can book. That let's me do calls in a small section of my week, with ample downtime to recover the rest of the week. I'm still learning how many calls a day I can handle. Currently anything more than 2 is too much.

Cal.com- Cal.com is a scheduling tool that helps you schedule meetings without the back-and-forth emails.

Peer Rich (CEO at Cal.com)

Has any one deployed cal.com with selfhosted environment. Is yes how would have configured prisma for the same.

Recently I came across a company called cal.com, it's a Calendly alternative, but the catch is the entire software is open source: https://github.com/calcom/cal.com.
