Rights

Rights is a simple bitmask-based rights system, using binary strings to represent rights. This allows for easy storage and fast handling.

Install

Php 7.1+ and composer are required.

$ composer require parable-php/rights

Usage

To create a rights instance with CRUD rights:

$rights = new Rights();

$rights->add('create', 'read', 'update', 'delete');

The binary string for 4 rights is 0000 (all disabled) -> 1111 (all enabled).

$rights->has('0001', 'create'); // true, since last position is 1
$rights->has('0001', 'read'); // false, since before-last is 0

Rights are represented in the binary string in reverse order. You can add as many rights as you want.

You can also combine two rights strings together, keeping the high values. This can be used to combine a user's individual rights and the rights set for that user's user group.

$combined = $rights->combine('1000', '0001'); // $combined = 1001

API

• add(string ...$names): void - add a right by name
• getAll(): int[] - get all rights ([string => int])
• getNames(): string[] - get all rights' names
• get(string $name): ?int - get specific right value by name
• can(string $provided, string $name): bool - check if $provided string can take action $name
• combine(string ...$rights): string - combine two strings, keeping the highest
• getRightsFromNames(string ...$names): string - create binary string from rights passed
• getNamesFromRights(string $rights): string[] - get enabled rights from binary string
