Per-class disable * (classes.features JSON) and the free_student role-level overlay * (app_settings.free_student_features) are NOT checked here — those layers * remain UI-gated in /api/features. A student bypassing the UI gate via * direct curl is the documented limitation; can be tightened later by * extracting the merge logic from server.js → /api/features into a shared * helper. * * Default: missing key = enabled (opt-in disable model). * * Response: 404 on disabled feature (intentional — don't leak endpoint shape). * * Usage: * app.use('/api/pet', requireFeature('pet'), petRoutes); * router.get('/hangman/word', requireFeature('hangman'), authMiddleware, handler); */ const db = require('../db/db'); const _stmt = db.prepare( "SELECT value FROM app_settings WHERE key = ?" ); function requireFeature(name) { const settingKey = `feature_${name}_enabled`; return (req, res, next) => { const row = _stmt.get(settingKey); if (row && row.value === '0') { return res.status(404).json({ error: 'Feature disabled' }); } next(); }; } module.exports = { requireFeature };
