Can login_required by applied to an entire app?

Question

Is there a way I can apply the login_required decorator to an entire app? When I say "app" I mean it in the django sense, which is to say a set of urls and views, not an entire project.

Answer 1

I think you are looking for this snippet, containing login-required middleware.

Answer 2

Yes, you should use middleware.

• http://www.djangosnippets.org/snippets/966/ - conversely with list of login required urls.
