228: Authentication rework r=curquiza a=MarinPostma In an attempt to fix #201, I ended up rewriting completely the authentication system we use. This is because actix doesn't allow to wrap a single route into a middleware, so we initially put each route into it's own service to use the authentication middleware. Routes are now grouped in resources, fixing #201. As for the authentication, I decided to take a very different approach, and ditch middleware altogether. Instead, I decided to use actix's [extractor](https://actix.rs/docs/extractors/). `Data` is now wrapped in a `GuardedData<P: Policy, T>` (where `T` is `Data`) in each route. The `Policy` trait, thanks to the `authenticate` method tell if a request is authorized to access the resources in the route. Concretely, before the server starts, it is configured with a `AuthConfig` instance that can either be `AuthConfig::NoAuth` when no auth is required at runtime, or `AuthConfig::Auth(Policies)`, where `Policies` maps the `Policy` type to it singleton instance. In the current implementation, and this to match the legacy meilisearch behaviour, each policy implementation contains a `HashSet` of token (`Vec<u8>` for now), that represents the user it can authenticate. When starting the program, each key (identified as a user) is given a set of `Policy`, representing its roles. The later is facilitated by the `create_users` macro, like so: ```rust create_users!( policies, master_key.as_bytes() => { Admin, Private, Public }, private_key.as_bytes() => { Private, Public }, public_key.as_bytes() => { Public } ); ``` This is some groundwork for later development on a full fledged authentication system for meilisearch. fix #201 Co-authored-by: marin postma <postma.marin@protonmail.com>
Transplant
Transplant makes communication between the users and Milli using HTTP. The final purpose of Transplant is to be merged into the current MeiliSearch repository so that users will enjoy the new search engine performance provided by Milli.
