does jwt auth work with the location api? i do something like routing { somethingWitoutAuth() authenticate("jwt") { routing { somethingWithAuth(); } } }

routing

is an extension function to

Application

, which gets or install a

Routing

feature. So inside the second invocation you install routes into root node.

authenticate

installs an interceptor and it’s lambda has

Route

as a receiver. Remove inner

routing

call to make it work.

somethingWithAuth is an extension function of Routing so i can't use it directly in the authenticate block

Make it extension on

Route

instead, so it is a proper routing builder function

is it recommended to use Route extension functions instead of Routing?

Yes, all building functions should be on

Route

.

Routing

is-a route, so it will work on top level too.
