Awesome RBAC for NestJs

What it does

Provides a simple, declarative role‑based access control (RBAC) layer you can drop into any NestJS app.

When to use it

•You need to protect API endpoints based on user roles and permissions.
•Your team wants a single source of truth for roles that can be loaded from a DB or static file.
•You already use NestJS guards/decorators and want a ready‑made RBAC guard instead of writing one from scratch.

Ready-to-paste prompt

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer <jwt>" http://localhost:3000/users/123   # will be allowed only if the JWT's user has the 'admin' role or the 'read:profile' permission defined in your RoleProvider

Heads up: The library relies on NestJS's `ReflectMetadata` API; you must enable `emitDecoratorMetadata` and `experimentalDecorators` in `tsconfig.json`, and use NestJS v9+ (the guard throws if the framework version is lower).
