Introducing Rabarber: A Simple Take on Rails Authorization

January 10, 2024

Hello Ruby devs, and welcome to my blog!

This is my first post, and I'd like to introduce Rabarber, a role-based authorization library for Ruby on Rails.

Some time ago, my colleagues and I noticed that popular authorization solutions were a bit much for our taste, so we developed our own. We’ve been using it for quite some time, and only recently we decided to package it as a gem.

It's not claiming to be better or fancier - just a simple, practical option for role-based authorization. If you want to give it a try, here's the link: https://github.com/enjaku4/rabarber.

We're using it, we like it, maybe you'll find it useful too.
