What is the best format for installing auth across multiple routes but not all routes inside of routing {}?

[neworldlt]

I created my own helper function:

fun Route.userAuth(kodein: Kodein, path: String = "", build: Route.() -> Route) {
    route(path) {
        authentication {
            ....
        }
        build()
    }
}

And use it in cases I am needed:

userAuth(kodein,"/user/current") {
                get {
                    call.respond(UserController(kodein).current(call.userId))
                }
            }

Hope it helps to you

Next build will have a revamped auth DSL, you can try it with 0.9.2-alpha-4 when it’s out (soon).

It looks promising: <https://github.com/ktorio/ktor/blob/master/ktor-samples/ktor-samples-auth/src/io/ktor/samples/auth/JwtApplication.kt#L33> 👌

0.9.2-alpha-5 (previous build failed)
