The FPrimitive library contains a way to express access on certain parts of the domain/application.
A critical function that can be revoked from running? A password or access key that should only be read once? …
Any part can be expressed as a Access<_, _> type which defines a set of rules before the resource can be accessed.
For example, the access key config value should only be accessed once:
// F#
let (getAccessKeyOnce : Access<unit, string>) =
Access.func (fun () -> "secret key")
|> Access.once
Access.Function1(() => "secret key").Once()
The Access function can then be evaluated, and will result in a Result<_, _> type; indicating either a successful or faulted access.
// F#
let (result : Result<string, string list>) =
getAccessKeyOnce |> Access.eval ()
// C#
AccessResult<string> result = getAccessKeyOnce.Eval()
The library comes with several features, one of which is revokability. When the Access.revokable/.Revokable() is added to the pipeline;
the resulting Access type can be revoked by calling Access.revoke/.Revoke() on the Access type. This makes the access part manually controlable.
The Access type can also be revoked automatically with these pipeline features:
Access.revokedAfter (TimeSpan)/.RevokedAfter(TimeSpan)Access.revokedWhen (IObservable)/.RevokedWhen(IObservable)
