When role doesn't exists getting "TypeError: Cannot read property 'length' of null"

[tensult]

The undefined check should be done before using role grants and NoSuchRole error should thrown.

rbac/src/RBAC.js

Line 477 in 9825490

for (let i = 0; i < items.length; i++) {

items has a default value []
what is yours value for variable items

Even I too wonder but I got following error:
/home/dilip/workspace/test/node_modules/rbac/dist/RBAC.js:602
for (var i = 0; i < items.length; i++) {
^

Code:

var RBAC = require('rbac').default;

const rbac = new RBAC({
  roles: ['superadmin', 'admin', 'user', 'guest'],
  permissions: {
    user: ['create', 'delete'],
    password: ['change', 'forgot'],
    article: ['create'],
    rbac: ['update']
  },
  grants: {
    guest: ['create_user', 'forgot_password'],
    user: ['change_password'],
    admin: ['user', 'delete_user', 'update_rbac'],
    superadmin: ['admin']
  }
}, function(err, rbacInstance) {
  if (err) {
    throw err;
  }
});

// Passing existing role
rbac.can('editor', 'create', 'article', (err, data) => {
    console.log(data);
});
