TypeORM Adapter is the TypeORM adapter for Node-Casbin. With this library, Node-Casbin can load policy from TypeORM supported database or save policy to it.
Based on Officially Supported Databases, the current supported databases are:
- MySQL
- PostgreSQL
- MariaDB
- SQLite
- MS SQL Server
- Oracle
- WebSQL
- MongoDB
You may find other 3rd-party supported DBs in TypeORM website or other places.
npm install typeorm-adapter
You also need to install the driver for the database you use, e.g. mysql2, pg, better-sqlite3 or mongodb.
mongodb is declared as an optional peer dependency, so it is not installed unless you ask for it. Importing typeorm-adapter never loads it at runtime. However, the shipped type declarations for CasbinMongoRule still reference the ObjectId type from mongodb. If you do not use MongoDB and compile with skipLibCheck: false, TypeScript reports TS2307: Cannot find module 'mongodb' — set skipLibCheck: true in your tsconfig.json (the setting recommended by the TypeScript team and enabled by default in most scaffolding tools), or install mongodb as a dev dependency.

}Use a custom entity that matches the CasbinRule or MongoCasbinRule in order to add additional fields or metadata to the entity.
import { newEnforcer } from 'casbin';
import {
CreateDateColumn,
UpdateDateColumn,
} from 'typeorm';
import TypeORMAdapter from 'typeorm-adapter';
@Entity('custom_rule')
class CustomCasbinRule extends CasbinRule {
@CreateDateColumn()
createdDate: Date;
@UpdateDateColumn()
updatedDate: Date;
}
async function myFunction() {
// Initialize a TypeORM adapter and use it in a Node-Casbin enforcer:
// The adapter can not automatically create database.
// But the adapter will automatically create and use the table named "casbin_rule".
// I think ORM should not automatically create databases.
const a = await TypeORMAdapter.newAdapter({
type: 'mysql',
host: 'localhost',
port: 3306,
username: 'root',
password: '',
database: 'casbin',
},
{
customCasbinRuleEntity: CustomCasbinRule,
},
);
const e = await newEnforcer('examples/rbac_model.conf', a);
// Load the filtered policy from DB.
await e.loadFilteredPolicy({
'ptype': 'p',
'v0': 'alice'
});
// Check the permission.
await e.enforce('alice', 'data1', 'read');
// Modify the policy.
// await e.addPolicy(...);
// await e.removePolicy(...);
// Save the policy back to DB.
await e.savePolicy();
}If you want to use a custom table name for the casbin rules, you need to: Create a custom entity class that inherits from CasbinRule and uses the @Entity decorator with your table name. Pass the custom entity class to the entities array of the data source constructor. Pass the custom entity class to the customCasbinRuleEntity option of the typeorm-adapter constructor.
import { newEnforcer } from 'casbin';
import {
CreateDateColumn,
UpdateDateColumn,
} from 'typeorm';
import TypeORMAdapter from 'typeorm-adapter';
@Entity('custom_rule')
class CustomCasbinRule extends CasbinRule {
@CreateDateColumn()
createdDate: Date;
@UpdateDateColumn()
updatedDate: Date;
}
async function myFunction() {
// Initialize a TypeORM adapter and use it in a Node-Casbin enforcer:
// The adapter can not automatically create database.
// But the adapter will automatically create and use the table named "casbin_rule".
// I think ORM should not automatically create databases.
const datasource = new DataSource({
type: 'mysql',
host: 'localhost',
port: 3306,
username: 'root',
password: '',
database: 'casbin',
entities: [CustomCasbinRule],
synchronize: true,
});
const a = await TypeORMAdapter.newAdapter(
{ connection: datasource },

// Load the filtered policy from DB.
await e.loadFilteredPolicy({
'ptype': 'p',
'v0': 'alice'
});
// Check the permission.
await e.enforce('alice', 'data1', 'read');
// Modify the policy.
// await e.addPolicy(...);
// await e.removePolicy(...);
// Save the policy back to DB.
await e.savePolicy();
