casl-angular
An isomorphic JavaScript authorization library for managing user permissions across frontend and backend.
What is casl-angular?
CASL is an isomorphic authorization JavaScript library that restricts what resources a given user is allowed to access. It solves the problem of managing permissions across UI components, API services, and database queries by providing a scalable system that can evolve from simple claim-based to fully featured subject and attribute-based authorization.
Full-stack JavaScript/TypeScript developers building applications that require fine-grained, scalable authorization logic across frontend and backend, particularly those using frameworks like React, Vue, Angular, or Aurelia and ORMs like Mongoose or Prisma.
Developers choose CASL for its incremental adoptability, allowing them to start simple and scale authorization as needed, and its isomorphic nature with complementary packages that seamlessly integrate permissions across the entire stack. Its TypeScript foundation, small core size, and declarative rule serialization offer enhanced safety, performance, and consistency.
