login_required decorator in django

Question

Is there any difference in using login_required decorator in urls.py and in views.py ? If I put this line:

url(r\'^add/$\', login_required(views.add_media), name         


        

Answer 1

Yes, they are the same. Decorators are syntactic sugar for wrapping a function in another one. So in either case, you are wrapping login_required around views.add_media.
