How do I make authentication optional for a few endpoints? E.g. signin API doesn't need authentication, but the other APIs need it (I'm thinking of JWT).

• The signin_* *_API doesn't need authentication. So leave the route as it is.
• If you want to protect the other route(s) you can encapsulate them using:

authenticate {

}

• When authentication is optional (i.e can be used by an authenticated or unauthenticated user) make use of:

authenticate(optional = true) {

}
