Login wall via middleware?

[Quantisan]

What's a recommended way to build a login wall to a Secretary routed app? Currently I'm doing this up top on my routes namespace.

(defn enforce-login []
  "Check authentication of user then redirect to login page if not"
  (when-not (re-seq #"/#/login$" (.-href js/window.location)) ;; not at login page
    (if-let [token (c/get-token)]
      (go-authenticate token)
      (.replace window.location "/#/login"))))

It sort of work but user can still jump into any route if they know the URL. I'm thinking I could wrap each route with a authorisation func first?

(defroute "/foo" [] (auth? (run-foo)))

That's basically a middleware.

Is there middleware for Secretary? If not, could you point me the right way to making one please?

You could handle authentication before calling secretary/dispatch! on hash changes.

Is there middleware for Secretary?

No, not built in, but I think it's something worth considering for future versions. What we should probably do is allow secretary/dispatch! to take a handler function so this sort of thing is easier to do.
