Guards

A Guard decides whether a request is allowed to proceed. Build one with gonest.NewGuard(func(guard *gonest.Guard) {...}).

var AuthGuard = gonest.NewGuard(func(guard *gonest.Guard) {
  guard.Handler(func(ctx *gonest.RestContext) bool {
    return ctx.Header("Authorization") != ""
  })
})

• Returning false produces an automatic 403 Forbidden — no Interceptor or Handler runs.
• Panicking with an Exception inside a guard produces that exception's own response instead of a generic 403.
• Multiple guards are evaluated in registration order and short-circuit on the first false.

Applying a guard

var UserController = gonest.NewController(func(controller *gonest.Controller) {
  controller.Guards(AuthGuard)
})
