Multiple policy

[kingleuther]

How to use multitple policy in one model? is that possible? thanks!

[mikield]

@kingleuther no this is not posible, and I do not think that it will be.
The main idea of a policy class is - to controll what a "Authorized" model (like User model) can do with a "subject" model (like Post model)

So in the end we will have every time 1 policy for one to one model controlls.

const User = use('App/Models/User')
const Post = use('App/Models/Post')

 const user = await User.find(1)
 const post = await Post.find(1)
  console.log(
    user.can('add', Post),
    user.can('edit', post)
    )

As you can see, in all cases we are sending the model into the can method. This will give use info where to take the policy class.

Please describe a situation where 2 policies are needed by your opinion :)

I was just thinking that I may need multiple policy. If ever I came through a use-case that needs multiple policy I will let you know.

For the meantime, can you give example how to use the canNot().

@kingleuther the canNot() is only the opposite of can() and should be included when you will "mix" the Trait with User model
