Examples

Let's require both Facades from node-fence.

const { Gate, Guard } = require('@slynova/fence')

Then let's define some gate using gate's method.

Gate.define('posts.update', (user, post) => {
  return user.id === post.author_id
})

Gate.define('seeGreetings', user => {
  return user.id === 1
})

Now you are able to call Guard somewhere inside your code to check the authorization of a user.

// We are defining the default User that Guard will use
// when he checks a gate/policy.
Guard.setDefaultUser({ id: 1 })

if (await Guard.allows('seeGreetings')) {
  console.log('Hello World!')
}

// ...
