Switon's HTTP authorization layer for controller and action policies, identity states, and voter-based access control.

Highlights
----------

[](#highlights)

- **Attribute-based access rules:** `#[Authorize]` lets controllers and actions declare policy in place.
- **Layered defaults:** class-level rules set the baseline, and method rules can override them.
- **Policy aliases:** `@edit`-style references stay tied to their targets.
- **Decision hooks:** `VoterInterface` can grant, deny, or abstain before the default check runs.
- **Identity states:** authenticated, anonymous, and superuser access are handled explicitly.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

```
composer require switon/authz
```

Quick Start
-----------

[](#quick-start)

```
use Switon\Authorizing\Attribute\Authorize;

#[Authorize(Authorize::AUTHENTICATED)]
class UserController
{
    public function indexAction(): void
    {
    }

    public function profileAction(): void
    {
    }

    #[Authorize(Authorize::ANONYMOUS)]
    public function publicAction(): void
    {
    }

    #[Authorize('@index')]
    public function deleteAction(): void
    {
    }
}
```
