Is the `crud` alias gone in Ability 4?

When manage changed a few releases ago, the changelog noted

To migrate the code, just replace `manage` with `crud` and everything will work as previously.

These had been in https://github.com/stalniy/casl/blob/%40casl/ability%403.4.0/packages/casl-ability/src/ability.js#L6

In 4.0, this seems to be gone. Is that intentional? I didn’t see it in the changelog. Do we just need our own crud alias now?

AbilityBuilder is recommended because it doesn’t add additional nesting and the final code is easier to read.

resolveAction is just an AbilityOption. If you use typescript or modern IDE it will help you with where to put it.

import { AbilityBuilder } from ...

const { can, build } = new AbilityBuilder(Ability);

// define rules

const resolveAction = ....

build({ resolveAction })

From updated changelog

alias: no more default aliases are shipped with @casl/ability. So, if you used crud, you need to add it yourself.

Before:

import { AbilityBuilder } from '@casl/ability';

const ability = AbilityBuilder.define((can) => {
  can("crud", "Post");
});

ability.can("crud", "Post"); // true

After:

import { defineAbility, createAliasResolver } from '@casl/ability';

const resolveAction = createAliasResolver({
  crud: ['create', 'read', 'update', 'delete']
});
const ability = defineAbility({ resolveAction }, (can) => {
  can("crud", "Post"); 
});

ability.can("crud", "Post"); // true
