Simple Logic plugin

[mavencode01]

One really good thing about Kong is the plugin architecture it has and I think it would be nice able to add simple logic plugin to check the user/consumer status without delegating this task to upstream services.

For example, Account Confirmation plugin will check every request that the user / consumer status is verified

Can you provide a more detailed description of your use case?

[mavencode01]

Sure, I'm building a new system where I have to ensure every users/consumers of my microservices has verified his account during registration.

Am thinking if there is a simple plugin for this, I don't have to do an extra check in all my services.

Thx. How would you envision this to work? What interaction between the application and kong would be required? Can you describe this flow?

[mavencode01]

I haven't looked into how the plugin works but on a high level, I would imagine when you create a consumer in Kong, you can specify extra fields just like you would for a normal user (verified, dob, etc. ) as json.
After that, you add the SimpleLogic plugin that adds one or two multiple conditions.

user.verified = true
user.age > 18
...

On each request, the plugin evaluates the conditions and can deny or allow the request.
