[ANN] Simple ACL

[chakrit]

Couldn't find one clean and simple ACL implementation. So I decided to write one.

Github: https://github.com/chakrit/simple-acl

NPM: https://npmjs.org/package/simple-acl

Very alpha atm. but it's pretty simple and it has tests :)

Comments, patches and suggestions, pretty please? :)

Have you seen mongoose-acl? Does it operate similarly to yours? It's nice and I've been using it for about 24 hours.

mongoose-acl? not until you mentioned it :p

Looking quickly It seems to operate similarly but, well, there isn't so many ways to implement ACLs anyway. So, no surprise there. 

but seems it is made for using with mongoose. simple-acl is intended to be standalone.

If you use mongoose, then it might be a good module to use.

You can do similar thing pretty easily with simple-acl, just do something like

    acl.grant(user.id, 'widget/123/read', callback);

Which IMO, would've achieved the same thing.
