Re: [IBMiOSS] Suggestion for managing db rules and label fields

[Aaron Bartell <aaronbartell@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi John,

For permissions you'll want to start using the search word "authorization"
and you'll come to results like the following:
https://www.npmjs.com/package/hapi-authorization   That one focuses on the
Hapi framework vs. Express (both are good, IMO, though I've started doing
more Hapi).  Note that this focuses at the route level and not the more
detailed field level.  You could make a route-level one work, though you'd
have to introduce a route for each type of user and that could get busy.

Concerning field labels; are you hoping to automatically derive the field
label from the column ~TEXT~ property?  That can work and can be a good
convention-over-configuration methodology, though make sure to leave room
for overrides.  Note you'd probably want some form of caching mechanism so
you didn't have to repeatedly ask the system tables for column information.
