== JavaScript-Based Policy

This type of policy allows you to define conditions for your permissions using JavaScript. It is one of the _Rule-Based_ policy types
supported by {{book.project.name}}, giving to you a lot of flexibility to write any policy based on the link::/policy/evaluation-api.adoc[Evaluation API].

=== Configuration

* *Name*
+
A human-readable and unique string describing the policy. We strongly suggest you to use names that are closely related with your business and security requirements, so you
can identify them more easily and also know what they actually mean
+
* *Description*
+
A string with more details about this policy
+
* *Code*
+
The JavaScript code providing the conditions for this policy
+
* *Logic*
+
The logic of this plicy

=== Examples

Here is a simple example of a JavaScript-Based policy that uses Attribute-Based Access Control (ABAC) to define a condition based on an attribute
obtained from the execution context:

```javascript
var context = $evaluation.getContext();
var contextAttributes = context.getAttributes();

if (contextAttributes.containsValue('kc.authz.context.client.network.ip_address', '127.0.0.1')) {
    $evaluation.grant();
}
```

You can even use RBAC if you want to:

```javascript
var identity = $evaluation.getIdentity();

if (identity.hasRole('keycloak_user')) {
    $evaluation.grant();
}
```

When writing your own rules, keep in mind that the *$evaluation* object is just a object implementing *org.keycloak.authorization.policy.evaluation.Evaluation*. For more details about what you can access from this interface,
please take a look at link::/policy/evaluation-api.adoc[Evaluation API].
