Bedford Module Coding - A Short Course

In the short course, taught by Trevor Bedford and Sarah Cobey the importance of using import maps and SafeObject and SafeClass implementations is discussed. The Permissions model also is covered. The Permissions model requires the use of import maps. The interfaces should use SafeObject and SafeClass implementations.

Permissions model must use maps for import

Import maps can be used to manage permissions in a scalable app. Instead of manually filling lists import maps automatically populate lists of users and groups in accordance with their source and destinations. This makes managing permissions easier for administrators and Bedford car keys cut developers. However the import map feature is not without its limitations.

The script type="importmap" tag is used to import maps in HTML documents. This tag should be added before any script type="module" tag in a document. This ensures that the import map is parsed before the module resolution process. At the moment there is only one importmap that can be loaded per document. However, future plans call for removing this restriction.

Interfaces should use SafeObject or Bedford Module Coding SafeClass implementations

Interfaces for Bedford module programming should utilize SafeObject or Bedford car locksmith SafeClass implementation. Although this might be confusing, the goal is to provide security-related guarantees. In particular, interfaces should employ a safety interface to prevent capability or information spillage.
