"@orcan" blade directive

[eazyurk]

In my latest project, I faced an issue with a collapsible menu where the menu items had permission checks. I wanted the collapsible to show even if only one item had permission to be shown. Here's an example of the menu item:

<x-collapsible>
    @can('viewAny', \App\Models\ModelY::class)
        <x-item>
            Menu Item
        </x-item>
    @endcan

    @can('viewAny', \App\Models\ModelX::class)
        <x-item>
            Menu Item
        </x-item>
    @endcan
</x-collapsible>

To solve this, I created a directive called orcan, which allows me to check multiple permissions and return true if at least one of them is granted. Here's the code:

Blade::if('orcan', function (...$permissions): bool {
    foreach ($permissions as $permission) {
        if (!is_array($permission) || count($permission) !== 2 || !is_string($permission[0]) || !class_exists($permission[1])) {
            throw new InvalidArgumentException('Invalid permission argument.');
        }

        $value = Gate::check($permission[0], $permission[1]);

        if ($value) {
            return $value;
        }
    }

    return false;
});

Now, I can use the orcan directive in my menu like this:

@orcan(['viewAny', \App\Models\ModelY::class], ['viewAny', \App\Models\ModelX::class])
<x-collapsible>
    @can('viewAny', \App\Models\ModelY::class)
        <x-item>
            Menu Item
        </x-item>
    @endcan

    @can('viewAny', \App\Models\ModelX::class)
        <x-item>
            Menu Item
        </x-item>
    @endcan
</x-collapsible>
@orcan

I think this directive could be a useful addition to the core functionality of Laravel.
