Introduction
------------

[](#introduction)

This library provides a generic and standardizable authorization system.

Roadmap
-------

[](#roadmap)

To develop this solution faster, [contributions](https://github.com/opportus/authorizer/blob/master/.github/CONTRIBUTING.md) are welcome...

v1.1:

- Implement property chain access support
- Implement multiple condition authorization support
- Implement multiple comparison operators support
- Implement higher test coverage

Integrations
------------

[](#integrations)

- {{ reference\_here\_your\_own\_integration }}

Setup
-----

[](#setup)

### Step 1 - Installation

[](#step-1---installation)

Open a command console, enter your project directory and execute:

```
$ composer require opportus/authorizer
```

### Step 2 - Initialization

[](#step-2---initialization)

This library contains 4 services. 3 of them require a single dependency which is another lower level service among those 4:

```
use Opportus\Authorizer\Authorizer;
use Opportus\Authorizer\ObjectPropertyAccessor\ObjectPropertyAccessor;

$objectPropertyAccessor = new ObjectPropertyAccessor();
$authorizer             = new Authorizer($objectPropertyAccessor);
```

In order for the authorizer to get properly initialized, each of its services it depends on must be instantiated such as above.

By design, this solution does not provide "helpers" for the instantiation of its own services which is much better handled the way you're already instantiating your own services, with a DIC system or whatever.

Authorization
-------------

[](#authorization)

### Concept

[](#concept)

An **authorization** is a *use case* assigned to an *actor* of your system.

An **authorization** is composed of:

- an **operation**
- (on) a **resource**
- (under) an optional **condition**

### Example Use Cases
