Django authentication and Ajax - URLs that require login

Question

I want to add some Ajax-niceness to my Django-coded website.

In my Django code, I use the @login_required decorator from django.contrib.auth.deco

Answer 1

Built off of Eric Walker's solution, but for Django 2.0

# Standard Imports
import functools
import django.http

def ajax_login_required(view_func):
    @functools.wraps(view_func)
    def wrapper(request, *args, **kwargs):
        if request.user.is_authenticated:
            return view_func(request, *args, **kwargs)

        return django.http.JsonResponse('Unauthorized', status=401, safe=False)

    return wrapper
