Protected Query Pattern: A Solution for Data Authorization in Full-Stack Apps

Securing data access in modern full-stack applications is challenging. This article introduces the 'protected query pattern,' an elegant solution. It wraps pure query functions with an authorization layer, offering `query.protect` and `query.unsafe` methods for authorized and direct queries respectively. This approach avoids duplicated authorization logic, improves maintainability and readability, and supports data redaction. Kilpi simplifies implementation, offering centralized authorization and data filtering for enhanced efficiency.
