Module: CrudComponents::Permission

Defined in:
lib/crud_components/permission_context.rb

Overview

Shared evaluation of if:/editable: options on attributes and actions. A callable may depend on the ability (can? is available in its context), the record (a one-arity lambda / it-proc receives it), or both:

if: ->(book) { can?(:edit, book) && book.published? }

recordless: is what a record-dependent condition evaluates to when there is no record to decide about — a column-level / strong-params check, where the lambda can't run (it would hit nil). It is true for visibility (if: — show the column; the record/form surfaces still apply the per-record decision) and false for editability (editable: — a class-level permit list must not grant per-record write access, so stay safe). Ability-only conditions (Symbol, zero-arity lambda) don't need a record and are evaluated regardless.
