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

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.

Hi all

we are writing a small APP using NodeJs / espress adn webix (
https://www.itjungle.com/2016/11/01/fhg110116-story03/ )for interface;
now we have to understand how to better manage this matters:

1- field's label in the form : if in DB2 the field name is CUSTID in the
form we would like to show "Customer Code" and so on (now for default we
see CUSTID)

2- field's permission : some user can't change some fields, other yes and
other can't see the fields


any suggestions would be welcome .. how do you manage thsi situation ?


thanks in advance
