authorizeAny Controller Helper Method

[bzarzuela]

I recently wrote a method in my project' base controller after using @canany in Blade but not finding the equivalent when inside the controller.

class Controller extends BaseController
{
    use AuthorizesRequests, DispatchesJobs, ValidatesRequests;

    public function authorizeAny($abilities, $arguments = [])
    {
        $authorized = app(Gate::class)
            ->forUser(auth()->user())
            ->any($abilities, $arguments);

        if ($authorized) {
            return Response::allow();
        } else {
            throw new AuthorizationException();
        }
    }
}

Is this something that's already in the framework? In my tests and evaluation of the source code of the authorize() method of a controller, it seems that it only supports testing a single policy.

After writing this helper, I use it as such in my application controller.

$this->authorizeAny(['print-stickers', 'download-files']);

This is in conjunction with permissions I've previously defined using Spatie's excellent laravel-permissions library.
