PlainID Policy Decision Point (PDP) SDK

The PlainID PDP SDK is a library that can be used to easily integrate the PlainID's Externalized Authorization into your applications.

The SDK utilizes the following functionality of the PlainID PDP:

• Access Decision - Evaluates PERMIT/DENY access requests
• Resolution Decision - Evaluates data access requests
  ### Installation

npm i plainid-pdp-sdk

Access Enforcement (API)

const express = require('express')
const pdp = require('plainid-pdp-sdk');

const pdpClient = new pdp.v5.Client({ 
    url: 'https://demo.plainid.cloud', 
    clientId: 'P6POYCA8QY5', clientSecret: 'XRp8OXVugWlnDZjP8', authorizerId: 'APA9G5HV7WXN9C' 
})

const app = express()
app.use(async (req, res, next) => {
    const payload = {
        method: req.method,
        headers: req.getHeaders(),
        url: req.url,
        body: req.body,
        meta: { runtimeFineTune: { includeIdentity: 'true' } }
    }

    const response = await pdpClient.accessDecision().evaluate(payload)
    if (!response.access) {
        throw new Error('Forbidden')
    }
})

Data Enforcement (SQL)

const knex = require('knex');
const pdp = require('plainid-pdp-sdk');
const pdpClient = new pdp.v3.Client({
    url: 'https://demo.plainid.cloud',
    clientId: 'P6POYCA8QY5', clientSecret: 'XRp8OXVugWlnDZjP8', authorizerId: 'APA9G5HV7WXN9C'
})

const tableName = 'members'
const Members = knex(tableName) // initiate query builder

const payload = {
    entityId: 'john.doe@gmail.com',
    entityTypeId: 'User',
    includeAssetAttributes: true,
}
const response = await pdpClient.resolutionDecision().evaluate(payload)
const tableRestrictions = response.resolution.getResourceRestrictions(tableName)!

// Column-level enforcement
const selectColumns = []
tableRestrictions.getAssets().forEach(asset => {
    selectColumns.push(asset.isMasked() ? `${asset.getMaskAs()} as ${asset.getName()}` : asset.getName())
})
Members.select(selectColumns)

// Row-level enforcement
const whereClause = tableRestrictions.getConditionSql() // ( ( ('ID'  > 1 ) )  AND ( ('Country'  LIKE '%Morocco%' ) ) )
Members.where(knex.raw(whereClause))

const resultSet = await Members
