Try to get authentication but continue as unauthenticated

[brianmay]

I commonly have a / page that shows a brief introduction to the website, and then allows the user to login if they aren't already logged. To do this, I generally use two pipelines:

• auth: try to get authentication details if possible, otherwise continue as anonymous user.
• ensure_auth: same as auth, but redirect user to login page if anonymous user.

Would be good if there was some way of doing this with plugoid.

You want to use the on_unauthenticated option (https://hexdocs.pm/plugoid/Plugoid.html#module-additional-plug-options).

Example in plugoid_demo: https://github.com/tanguilp/plugoid_demo/blob/master/lib/plugoid_demo_web/router.ex#L34

Yes, looks like that does it. Thanks
