Feature: add blade directives to check if user has certain role

[lowerends]

It would be useful to have a blade directive that checks if a user has all or any of a given list (array) of roles. The syntax could be like this:

@has(['role_1', 'role_2', 'role_3'])
<some html/php here>
@else
<some other html/php here>
@endhas

What are your thoughts on this?

I think it's a good idea to have that functionality, but I don't like the naming.

This would be better:

@role('administrator')
<some html/php here>
@endrole

@can does not have an else so I think @role shouldn't have else. @norole would be better.

Of course the directives should handle both strings and arrays.

If you would make a PR for this, I'd likely accept it.

I'm using @can with an @else part successfully. I think it will be important that you can define what needs to happen if the user doesn't have any or all of the roles.

As for the naming, it may be even better to make them consistent with the other PR I'm working on, to have @hasAnyRole and @hasAllRoles.

In that case our blade directives should have an @else has well. Thanks for correcting me on this.

Good idea on the naming. Blade directives are generally lowercase so I prefer if the ones you add are lowercase as well. On top of the ones you're proposing a @role one (that has the behaviour of @hasanyrole) would be nice. @norole is still valuable so you aren't required to use an else.

Thoughts?

[lowerends]

Agree, also with the fact that @norole can still be valuable.

So to sum up, we would have:

@role = @hasanyrole
@hasallroles
@else
@endrole, @endhasanyrole, @endhasallroles
@norole

👍 go forth and code!
