feat(policy): field-level update policies on M2M relation fields - #2858
ludovicmotte wants to merge 4 commits into
Conversation
Allow @Allow('update', ...) and @deny('update', ...) on implicit many-to-many relation fields. The field-level policy takes precedence over the model-level update policy for that side of the relation; when no field-level policy is declared, the model-level policy applies (preserving backward compatibility). Both sides of the relation are checked on connect and disconnect. Only the 'update' action is allowed on M2M relation fields; 'read' and 'all' are rejected with an explicit error. - language: add isManyToManyField() helper, relax validator - policy: add buildM2mSidePolicyFilter(), use it in connect/disconnect - tests: e2e (connect-disconnect) + regression (issue-2382) Closes zenstackhq#2382

- Line 183: Update the opposite-field lookup in the relation check to resolve
the field belonging to the same relation as `field`, rather than selecting any
array field that references `containingModel`; then use that matched field when
checking whether both sides are arrays so separate named relations are not
conflated.
In `@packages/plugins/policy/src/policy-handler.ts`:
- Around line 895-900: Update buildM2mSidePolicyFilter to apply field-level
update policy precedence when constructing the many-to-many join-table delete
filter, matching the delete pre-check so disconnect works for an
update-authorized relation field even when its model lacks update access. Keep
the existing model-level filter for reads unchanged.
In `@tests/e2e/orm/policy/migrated/connect-disconnect.test.ts`:
- Around line 522-528: Update the disconnect assertion in the migrated policy
test to exercise the field-level deny: ensure m2-1 is connected while not
deleted, mark it deleted through rawDb, then attempt the disconnect and assert
policy rejection. If disconnect filters silently rather than throwing, assert
that the relation remains present.

- language: isManyToManyField now matches the opposite field of the same relation (by @relation name), preventing false positives when a model pair has both a one-to-many and a many-to-many relation - policy: apply field-level update policy precedence to the join-table delete filter (buildM2mSidePolicyFilter), keeping model-level filter for reads - policy: preDeleteCheck now extracts IN constraints in addition to equality, so both sides of a disconnect are verified upfront - tests: exercise field-level deny on disconnect, reject update policy on one-to-many fields when a separate m2m relation exists, align m2m manipulation test with the new rejection behavior

The many-to-many delete precheck used a scalar subquery (SELECT <filter> ... WHERE id IN (...)) that returned one row per matching participant. With multiple IDs, PostgreSQL rejects it and other databases would only verify a single participant. Aggregate to COUNT(*) of updatable participants and reject when the count is below the number of distinct values, which verifies every participant while preserving the rejection for missing ones. Add a batch disconnect test covering the multi-ID case.

I believe this condition is too loose here and it'll allow a false negative for the following case (field bars accidentally matching opposite field foos even though foos is a relation with a different name):
model Foo {
id Int @id
bars Bar[] @allow('update', true)
bar2 Bar @relation("other", fields: [bar2Id], references: [id])
bar2Id Int
}
model Bar {
id Int @id
foo Foo @relation(fields: [fooId], references: [id])
fooId Int
foos Foo[] @relation("other")

return getRelationName(f) === relationName should be good enough.

The "ts-schema-generator.ts" file has a member getRelationName doing the same thing but more robust. Shall we move that implementation here and avoid the duplicate?

🟡 Minor · Resolve the concrete model for mixin-declared relation fields. · utils.ts:193-215
packages/language/src/utils.ts:193-215
🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick winResolve the concrete model for mixin-declared relation fields.
A relation field declared in a mixin retains its
TypeDefas$container.isManyToManyFieldcasts that container toDataModeland compares the opposite field with the mixin name. A valid opposite field references the concrete model that uses the mixin, so the helper returnsfalse. The field-level policy validator then rejects the valid@allow('update', ...)or@deny('update', ...)policy.Use the concrete model that inherits the field when checking the opposite relation.
Suggested fix
- const containingModel = field.$container as DataModel; const relationName = getRelationName(field); return getAllFields(oppositeModel).some((f) => { - if (f === field || !f.type.array || f.type.reference?.ref?.name !== containingModel.name) { + if (f === field || !f.type.array || !isDataModel(f.type.reference?.ref)) { return false; } + const oppositeContainingModel = f.type.reference.ref; + const fieldBelongsToContainingModel = isDataModel(field.$container) + ? oppositeContainingModel.name === field.$container.name + : getAllFields(oppositeContainingModel).includes(field); + if (!fieldBelongsToContainingModel) { + return false; + } // the opposite field must belong to the same relation: either both declare the same // explicit relation name, or both are unnamed return getRelationName(f) === relationName;🤖 Prompt for AI Agents
