Instance Method Details

#acts_as_joinable(options = {}) ⇒ Object

Takes one option :component_permissions - a list of all of the permissions grouped by the component they affect eg. [=> [:view, :apply, :remove, :create, :delete]]

The grouped permissions are unpacked to create distinct permissions (eg. view_labels, apply_labels, …) These unpacked permissions are put into an array with the singular permissions (eg. find) and stored in a permissions class variable.

In addition, The grouped permissions are stored in a separate component_permissions_hashes class variable.

NOTE: The permissions are passed in-order because in the view we expect to find certain permission patterns.

eg. the simple project permission level is determined by looking for a string of permissions that span
several components, (labels, writeboards, files, etc...).

TODO: Remove the aforementioned order dependency
