How to use field policies to show/hide fields in a UI?
I am diving into field policies to make some data available for certain subscription plans. When the field returns
%ForbiddenField{}, Phoenix HTML doesn't know how to deal with it.
What's the best practice for doing this in the UI? The only thing I can think of is to use is_struct(resource.field, Ash.ForbiddenField everywhere.2 Replies
Hmm...that is pretty much the way
We could add a helper for it maybe
That's what I did when playing around. I'll submit a PR for a helper soon once I settle on a good api for it. Would you like it in Ash or AshPhoenix?
I could see it as
Ash.field_accessible? and Ash.fields_accessible?
or Ash.can_access_field?. Something like that
or maybe the helper returns nil if it's forbidden and the value if not
hence why I need to think on it a bit 🙂
