refactor(router): enhance role-based access control #122
Conversation
- Improve readability and maintainability of RBAC logic - Implement single source of truth for top-level route paths - Redirect unauthorized users based on role permissions
Summary of ChangesHello @fulleni, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed! This pull request refactors the Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) within the application's router to enhance security and maintainability. The core change shifts the authorization strategy from matching exact route names to checking if the current navigation path begins with any of the user's permitted base paths. This ensures more granular control over access, simplifies the management of nested routes, and provides clearer diagnostic information when unauthorized access occurs. Highlights

Code Review
This pull request refactors the role-based access control logic to be more robust by checking URL paths instead of route names, which is a great improvement for handling sub-routes. The new implementation is clearer and the enhanced logging will be very helpful for debugging.
I've added a couple of suggestions to further improve the maintainability and robustness of the new logic. One suggestion is to centralize the new route name-to-path mapping to avoid potential configuration drift. The other, more important suggestion, is to add an assertion to catch configuration mismatches during development, which would prevent silent authorization failures that can be difficult to track down.
Overall, this is a solid enhancement to the routing logic.
- Enhance the process of converting allowed route names to their base paths - Add an assertion to catch configuration errors when a route name is not defined in topLevelPaths - Maintain the functionality of filtering out null values
