framework.onAuthorize is called at any request

[luoage]

I have a simple authorization, so I rewrite F.onAuthorize

F.onAuthorize = function() {....};

And add flag to parameter.

F.route('/user/info', index, ['authorize', 'get']);

But when I open my index page that the page has no authorize flag, F.onAuthorize is called.

So, is that right ? I just want it called when the flags has authorize, how to make it possible ?

Yes, it needs to be called each request because you need to know which user is logged in each route's action. Total.js supports these flags:

• authorize for logged users
• unauthorize for unlogged users
• without flag for all logged and unlogged users together

For understanding: Imagine we have an eshop application which have pages for all users and logged users. Homepage has to be rendered for all users (logged and unlogged together). But if some user is logged, you need to show his name in e.g. layout --> so for this case is needed to execute F.onAuthorize too. Current solution will work because F.onAuthorize is executed for all (controlller's) routes.

Solution for you:

• instead of F.onAuthorize create own middleware

Do you understand?
