Can login_required be applied to the whole application?

Question

Can I use the login_required decorator for the entire application? When I say "application", I mean this in the sense of django, that is, a lot of URLs and views, and not the whole project.

Answer 1

Yes, you must use middleware.

Try looking at solutions that have some differences:

• http://www.djangosnippets.org/snippets/1179/ - with a list of exceptions.
• http://www.djangosnippets.org/snippets/1158/ - with a list of exceptions.
• http://www.djangosnippets.org/snippets/966/ - back with a list of required login URLs.
• http://www.djangosnippets.org/snippets/136/ - the simplest.

Answer 2

I think that you are looking for this fragment containing the required middleware login.

Answer 3

This is an old question. But here goes:

Enable Django Decorator

This is a replacement for include in URLConf. Pefect to use login_required for the whole application.
