Type safe roles guard with the decorator for controller made easy. Just specify how to get `role` from `ExecutionContext`. `nestjs-roles` will do the rest.

## Install

```sh
npm i nestjs-roles
```

## Example

First, let's define roles:

```ts
// role.enum.ts

export enum Role {
ADMIN = 'ADMIN',
USER = 'USER',
MODERATOR = 'MODERATOR',
}
```

Let's say you use [nestjs-session](http://npm.im/nestjs-session) and keep `role` in `session` property object of `request`. So then create guard with `getRole` callback:

```ts
// roles.guard.ts

import { ExecutionContext } from '@nestjs/common';
import { createRolesGuard } from 'nestjs-roles';
import { Role } from './role.enum';

function getRole(context: ExecutionContext) {
const { session } = context.switchToHttp().getRequest();

if (!session) return;

// you can use single role or array of roles
// if you provide array of roles, the guard will pass if one of roles is in required roles
return (session as { role?: Role | Role[] }).role;
}

export const Roles = createRolesGuard(getRole);
```

After that we can set `Roles` guard globally (don't forget to pass `Reflector` instance):

```ts
// bootstrap.ts

import { NestFactory, Reflector } from '@nestjs/core';
import { Roles } from './roles.guard';

const app = await NestFactory.create(AppModule);

const reflector = app.get(Reflector);
app.useGlobalGuards(new Roles(reflector));
```

All settings are done. Now you can set up access in your controllers:

```ts
// secrets.controller.ts

import { Roles } from './roles.guard';

@Controller('secrets')
@Roles.Params(true) // setup access on Controller for users with any existing role
export class SecretsController {

@Get('my')
async readMy() {
// ...
}

@Patch(':id')
@Roles.Params(Role.ADMIN) // override access on certain handler
async update() {
// ...
}
}
```

Don't be shy to give it a star! ★
