Can we define role, action and resource in database. If required fetch from database and use it to grant access?

You can persist your grants in database and pass grants to AccessControl constructor as an array fetched from DB like so:

// grant list fetched from DB (to be converted to a valid grants object, internally)

let grantList = [ { role: 'admin', resource: 'video', action: 'create:any', attributes: ', !views' }, { role: 'admin', resource: 'video', action: 'read:any', attributes: '' }, { role: 'admin', resource: 'video', action: 'update:any', attributes: ', !views' }, { role: 'admin', resource: 'video', action: 'delete:any', attributes: '' }, { role: 'user', resource: 'video', action: 'create:own', attributes: ', !rating, !views' }, { role: 'user', resource: 'video', action: 'read:any', attributes: '' }, { role: 'user', resource: 'video', action: 'update:own', attributes: ', !rating, !views' }, { role: 'user', resource: 'video', action: 'delete:own', attributes: '' } ];

const ac = new AccessControl(grantList);
