  Description

  This pull request updates the library to support string as the subject type. Currently, the library only accepts class types, which causes TypeScript to complain when providing string types. This update allows for more flexibility in defining permissions without a corresponding DTO.

Summary

• Updated Subjects type in permissions.interface.ts and post.permissions.ts to accept string as well as class types
• Modified permissions object in post.permissions.ts and app.permissions.ts to use string literals for Actions.read and Actions.create on Post subject
• Added | string to Subjects type in permissions.interface.ts and post.permissions.ts
• Updated pull request title to reflect the changes made in this pull request

Fixes #1.

In the realm of code, where types are king, A rabbit hopped, making strings sing. 🐇 With a wiggle of ears, and a twitch of the nose, Permissions expanded, as the codebase grows.

Tips

### Chat There are 3 ways to chat with CodeRabbit: - Review comments: Directly reply to a review comment made by CodeRabbit. Example: - `I pushed a fix in commit .` - `Generate unit-tests for this file.` - Files and specific lines of code (under the "Files changed" tab): Tag `@coderabbitai` in a new review comment at the desired location with your query. Examples: - `@coderabbitai generate unit tests for this file.` - `@coderabbitai modularize this function.` - PR comments: Tag `@coderabbitai` in a new PR comment to ask questions about the PR branch. For the best results, please provide a very specific query, as very limited context is provided in this mode. Examples: - `@coderabbitai generate interesting stats about this repository from git and render them as a table.` - `@coderabbitai show all the console.log statements in this repository.` - `@coderabbitai read src/utils.ts and generate unit tests.` - `@coderabbitai read the files in the src/scheduler package and generate a class diagram using mermaid and a README in the markdown format.` Note: Be mindful of the bot's finite context window. It's strongly recommended to break down tasks such as reading entire modules into smaller chunks. For a focused discussion, use review comments to chat about specific files and their changes, instead of using the PR comments. ### CodeRabbit Commands (invoked as PR comments) - `@coderabbitai pause` to pause the reviews on a PR. - `@coderabbitai resume` to resume the paused reviews. - `@coderabbitai review` to trigger a review. This is useful when automatic reviews are disabled for the repository. - `@coderabbitai resolve` resolve all the CodeRabbit review comments. - `@coderabbitai help` to get help. Additionally, you can add `@coderabbitai ignore` anywhere in the PR description to prevent this PR from being reviewed. ### CodeRabbit Configration File (`.coderabbit.yaml`) - You can programmatically configure CodeRabbit by adding a `.coderabbit.yaml` file to the root of your repository. - The JSON schema for the configuration file is available [here](https://coderabbit.ai/integrations/coderabbit-overrides.v2.json). - If your editor has YAML language server enabled, you can add the path at the top of this file to enable auto-completion and validation: `# yaml-language-server: $schema=https://coderabbit.ai/integrations/coderabbit-overrides.v2.json` ### CodeRabbit Discord Community Join our [Discord Community](https://discord.com/invite/GsXnASn26c) to get help, request features, and share feedback.

The code still breaks expecting an object not a string in several places
