## Usage

See [User Documentation page](http://kanrb.org/)

* [Basic Usage](http://kanrb.org/basic_usage)
* [Roles](http://kanrb.org/roles)
* [Testing](http://kanrb.org/testing)
* [Dry integration](http://kanrb.org/working_with_dry)
* [F.A.Q.](http://kanrb.org/faq)

## Basic Usage

### Register abilities

```ruby
class Post::Abilities
include Kan::Abilities

register('read') { |_, _| true }
register('edit') { |user, post| user.id == post.user_id }
register('delete') { |_, _| false }
end
```

Also, you can register more than one ability in one place and use string or symbol keys:

```ruby
class Post::AdminAbilities
include Kan::Abilities

register(:read, :edit, :delete) { |user, _| user.admin? }
end

class Comments::Abilities
include Kan::Abilities

register('read') { |_, _| true }
register('edit') { |user, _| user.admin? }

register(:delete) do |user, comment|
user.id == comment.user_id && comment.created_at < Time.now + TEN_MINUTES
end
end
```

### Check abilities

```ruby
abilities = Kan::Application.new(
post: Post::Abilities.new,
comment: Comments::Abilities.new
)

abilities['post.read'].call(current_user, post) # => true
abilities['post.delete'].call(current_user, post) # => false
abilities['comment.delete'].call(current_user, post) # => false
```

#### Default ability block

By default Kan use `proc { true }` as a default ability block:

```ruby
abilities['comment.invalid'].call(current_user, post) # => true
```

But you can rewrite it

```ruby
admin_abilities = Kan::Application.new(
post: Post::AdminAbilities.new(default_ability_block: proc { false }),
comment: Comments::Abilities.new,
)

admin_abilities['post.delete'].call(current_user, post) # => false
admin_abilities['post.delete'].call(admin_user, post) # => true
admin_abilities['post.invalid'].call(current_user, post) # => false
```

#### List of abilities
You can provide array of abilities for each scope and Kan will return `true` if at least one ability return `true`:

```ruby
global_abilities = Kan::Application.new(
post: [Post::Abilities.new, Post::AdminAbilities.new],
comment: Comments::Abilities.new
)

global_abilities['post.edit'].call(current_user, post) # => false
global_abilities['post.edit'].call(owner_user, post) # => true
global_abilities['post.edit'].call(admin_user, post) # => true
```

### Aliases

You can use strings or symbols and then use it as name of ability

```ruby
class Post::Abilities
include Kan::Abilities

register(:edit) { |_, _| true }
register_alias(:correct, 'edit')
end

abilities = Kan::Application.new(
post: Post::Abilities.new
)

abilities['post.correct'].call(current_user, post) # => true
```

### Callback

You can provide callable object (that respond to #call) that accepts ability_name and payload params to `after_call_callback` param of your ability:
```ruby
admin_abilities = Kan::Application.new(
post: Post::AdminAbilities.new(after_call_callback: -> (ability_name, payload) { ... }),
comment: Comments::Abilities.new,
)

admin_abilities['post.read'].call(current_user, post) # => false
```
Your object will be executed after calling ability.
