GateManager class

The Gate Manager.

Manages authorization abilities and their checks. This class stores ability definitions and executes permission checks against the authenticated user.

Philosophy

Authorization is client-side for simplicity. We check Auth.user() properties against defined rules. For sensitive operations, always validate on the server as well.

Events

The Gate system fires the following events:

• GateAbilityDefined - When a new ability is registered
• GateAccessChecked - After every ability check (allowed or denied)
• GateAccessDenied - When an ability check results in denial

Usage

// Define abilities
gate.define('edit-post', (user, post) => user.id == post.userId);

// Check abilities
if (gate.allows('edit-post', post)) {
  // User can edit
}
