any better way to require a session to be present than this?

get("/") { _ ->
    val session = call.sessions.get<DashSession>() ?: return@get call.respondRedirect("/login")
    /* code */
}

You can use status pages as suggested by @Nikky

I have created a sample using it:

inline fun <reified T> CurrentSession.getOrThrow(): T =
    this.get<T>() ?: throw SessionNotFoundException(T::class)
