It is worth mentioning that we now recommend Yii-Permission.
Use Casbin in Yii 2.0 PHP Framework.
Require this package in the composer.json of your Yii 2.0 project. This will download the package.
composer require casbin/yii-adapter
To use this extension, you have to configure the Casbin class in your application configuration:
return [
//....
'components' => [
'casbin' => [
'class' => '\CasbinAdapter\Yii\Casbin',
/*
* Yii-casbin model setting.
*/
'model' => [
// Available Settings: "file", "text"
'config_type' => 'file',
'config_file_path' => '/path/to/casbin-model.conf',
'config_text' => '',
],
// Yii-casbin adapter .
'adapter' => '\CasbinAdapter\Yii\Adapter',
/*
* Yii-casbin database setting.
*/
'database' => [
// Database connection for following tables.
'connection' => '',
// CasbinRule tables and model.
'casbin_rules_table' => '{{%casbin_rule}}',
],
],
]
];This provides the basic access to Casbin via the casbin application component:
$casbin = \Yii::$app->casbin;
$sub = 'alice'; // the user that wants to access a resource.
$obj = 'data1'; // the resource that is going to be accessed.
$act = 'read'; // the operation that the user performs on the resource.
if (true === $casbin->enforce($sub, $obj, $act)) {
// permit alice to read data1
} else {
// deny the request, show an error
}You can find the full documentation of Casbin on the website.
