Using fastapi, I’m struggling with adding “login_required”(or smh) middleware.

(I think middleware is the best idea, and if I dont get normal solution for my problem, I will have to work with decorators, or some hardcoding like putting hassatr(request.state, “user”) in each route)

Of course, I want to keep some pages free for unathorized people,

so my idea was to check request’s path if it’s in AUTH_PATHS list.

that was working till I’ve understood that I always have some flexible paths, like

@router.get('/posts/all/{page:int}')

If you know how is it can be done on real prod projects, I’d took that as answer

I’ve got 4 ideas:

1. Searching for some magic python/fastapi syntax I didn’t know (haven’t found, but maybe it is)

2. Using some python modules, like fastapi in-built pydantic (which has been made for validation, so it didn’t work)

3. Making something crazy, like everytime my database gets bigger and needs more pages to show all posts, it adds 1 to some value in config.py, and updates my settings class in config.py, including every single path there (like ‘/posts/all/154’, ‘/posts/all/155’) etc. (this is pure madness and I believe this would be very unefficient and slow)

4. Checking which endpoint (function) was called by request. Got this as the best idea (when I was already emptied), but then I couldn’t find any information if this is even real.
