defineGate

Builds a Gate from a check. The check refuses by throwing a Notice or a Silence and passes by returning. The required context is inferred from ctx, so annotate it as narrowly as the fields the check reads. No annotation defaults to GateContextBase, an agnostic gate that fits every handler.

defineGate<Name, Ctx>(
    name: Name,
    fn: (ctx: Ctx) => void | Promise<void>
): Gate<Ctx, Name>

// a gate factory that takes its own option and closes over it
function MinRoles(min: number): Gate<GateContextBase, 'MinRoles'> {
    return defineGate('MinRoles', (ctx) => {
        if (ctx.memberRoleIds.length < min) throw new NotEnoughRoles(min);
    });
}

// agnostic gate (no ctx annotation): fits any handler
const Owner = defineGate('owner', (ctx) => {
    if (!ctx.userId) throw new NotOwner();
});
