Allow access to AbilityFactory

[andreialecu]

I'd like to be able to use packRules to share permissions with an Angular front end app.

The following hack works:

	const user = userProxy?.getFromRequest();
    if (user) {
      const abilityFactory: AbilityFactory = (this.accessService as any)
        .abilityFactory;
      console.log(packRules(abilityFactory.createForUser(user).rules));

Where this.accessService basically hijacks this private field from AccessService:

nest-casl/src/access.service.ts

Line 16 in a3af836

constructor(private abilityFactory: AbilityFactory) {}

Exporting AbilityFactory, or an API to get to the underlying casl abilities would be great.

Yes, this is unacceptable. I'm thinking about handling this specific use case, as it should be quite common. ie this.accessService.getAbilitiesForUser(user, { pack: true }). Combined with #202 it'll make lib client code much cleaner.

@liquidautumn I'm trying to get all rules defined across all modules in my auth module to return the rules on my login route, how do I use this.accessService.getAbility(user) to get them?

As far as I understand when I want to use accessService in my auth module, I need to import CaslModule.forFeature({ permissions}) but because of the expected permissions parameter I do not get all defined permissions.

@kinglouie did you find any solution for that?
