Quick Start

import AllowAccess from "allowaccess";

const access = new AllowAccess(401, "You don't have access");

// The role should be populated by your authentication middleware.
router.post("/blog", access.allow(["admin", "author"]), createPost);

AllowAccess reads the user's role from req.body.role.
