Question:
guys I am on the verge of TEARS trying to understand what is going on rn 
so you know how the replit.web module has an authenticated decorator?
def authenticated_template(template: str, **context: Any) -> Callable:
"""A decorator that renders a template if the user is not signed in.
Args:
template (str): The template filename to render.
**context (Any): The context to pass to the template.
Returns:
Callable: A decorator to apply to your route.
"""
def decorator(func: Callable) -> Callable:
@wraps(func)
def handler(*args: Any, **kwargs: Any) -> flask.Response:
if ReplitAuthContext.from_headers(flask.request.headers).is_authed:
return func(*args, **kwargs)
else:
return flask.render_template(template, **context)
return handler
return decorator
look specifically at
if ReplitAuthContext.from_headers(flask.request.headers).is_authed:
return func(*args, **kwargs)
else:
return flask.render_template(template, **context)
this very clearly only calls the decorated function if user is authenticated.
now see my code
@web.authenticated_template('login.html')
@app.route('/')
def index():
return render_template('index.html',
url=request.headers['X-Replit-User-Url'],
pfp=request.headers['X-Replit-User-Profile-Image'],
username=web.auth.name,
userid=web.auth.user_id
)
I even put a print statement to check if is_authed is true
print(f"is_authed: {web.ReplitAuthContext.from_headers(request.headers).is_authed}")
(there’s a shorter way, you can use web.auth.is_authed instead)
BUT it’s still rendering index.html???
I srsly don’t understand it
Repl is private but you can take a look for yourself
