This repository houses the official Go client library for SpiceDB and Authzed services.
[SpiceDB] is an open source, [Google Zanzibar]-inspired, database system for creating and managing security-critical application permissions.
Developers create a schema that models their permissions requirements and use any of the official or community maintained [client libraries] to apply the schema to the database, insert data into the database, and query the data to efficiently check permissions in their applications.
[SpiceDB]: https://github.com/authzed/spicedb

Supported client API versions:
- [v1](https://buf.build/authzed/api/docs/main/authzed.api.v1)
- [v1alpha1](https://buf.build/authzed/api/docs/main/authzed.api.v1alpha1)

## Getting Started
We highly recommend following the **[Protecting Your First App]** guide to learn the latest best practice to integrate an application with Authzed.
[Protecting Your First App]: https://docs.authzed.com/guides/first-app
### Installation
If you're using a modern version of [Go], run the following commands to add dependencies to your project:
```sh
go get github.com/authzed/authzed-go
go get github.com/authzed/grpcutil
```
[grpcutil] is not _strictly_ required, but greatly reduces the boilerplate required to create a client in the general case.
[Go]: https://golang.org/dl/
[grpcutil]: https://github.com/authzed/grpcutil
### Initializing a client
The [`NewClient()`] constructor is the recommended method for creating a client.
Because this library is using [gRPC] under the hood, you are free to leverage the wealth of functionality provided via [DialOptions].
In order to successfully connect, you will have to provide a [Bearer Token] with your own API Token from the [Authzed dashboard] in place of `t_your_token_here_1234567deadbeef` in the following example:
[`NewClient()`]: https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/authzed/authzed-go/v1#NewClient
[Bearer Token]: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc6750#section-2.1
[Authzed Dashboard]: https://app.authzed.com
[gRPC]: https://grpc.io
[DialOptions]: https://pkg.go.dev/google.golang.org/grpc?utm_source=godoc#DialOption
```go
import (
"github.com/authzed/authzed-go/v1"
"github.com/authzed/grpcutil"
)
...
systemCerts, err := grpcutil.WithSystemCerts(grpcutil.VerifyCA)
if err != nil {
log.Fatalf("unable to load system CA certificates: %s", err)
}
client, err := authzed.NewClient(
"grpc.authzed.com:443",
systemCerts,
grpcutil.WithBearerToken("t_your_token_here_1234567deadbeef"),
)
if err != nil {
log.Fatalf("unable to initialize client: %s", err)
}
```
### Performing an API call
Requests and response types are located in a package under `proto/` respective to their API version.
Because of the verbosity of these types, we recommend writing your own functions/methods to create these types from your existing application's models.
```go
package main
import (
"context"
"log"
"github.com/authzed/authzed-go/proto/authzed/api/v1"
"github.com/authzed/authzed-go/v1"
"github.com/authzed/grpcutil"
)
func main() {
emilia := &v1.SubjectReference{Object: &v1.ObjectReference{
ObjectType: "blog/user",
ObjectId: "emilia",
}}
firstPost := &v1.ObjectReference{
ObjectType: "blog/post",
ObjectId: "1",
}
client, err := authzed.NewClient(
"grpc.authzed.com:443",
grpcutil.WithSystemCerts(grpcutil.VerifyCA),
grpcutil.WithBearerToken("t_your_token_here_1234567deadbeef"),
)
if err != nil {
log.Fatalf("unable to initialize client: %s", err)
}
resp, err := client.CheckPermission(context.Background(), &v1.CheckPermissionRequest{
Resource: firstPost,
Permission: "read",
Subject: emilia,
})
if err != nil {
log.Fatalf("failed to check permission: %s", err)
}
if resp.Permissionship == v1.CheckPermissionResponse_PERMISSIONSHIP_HAS_PERMISSION {
log.Println("allowed!")
}
}
```
### Insecure Credentials
For contexts that don't require TLS, such as a development environment or integration
tests, it's possible to set up a client that does not use TLS:
```go
import (
"github.com/authzed/grpcutil"
"google.golang.org/grpc"
"google.golang.org/grpc/credentials/insecure"
"github.com/authzed/authzed-go/v1"
)
client, err := authzed.NewClient(
"localhost:50051",
grpc.WithTransportCredentials(insecure.NewCredentials()),
grpcutil.WithInsecureBearerToken("some token"),
)
```
