Django LoginRequiredView, for easy protected class based views

gistfile1.py

"""
This is a simple class based view that require the user login to be displayed
It's is intented to be used as a base class for another class based views

Use it like this:

from django.views.generic import TemplateView

from mylib import LoginRequiredView
 
class LoginRequiredPage(LoginRequiredView, TemplateView):
    template_name = 'login_required_page.html'

""" 
from django.contrib.auth.decorators import login_required
from django.utils.decorators import method_decorator
from django.views.generic import View

class LoginRequiredView(View):
    @method_decorator(login_required)
    def dispatch(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
        return super(LoginRequiredView, self).dispatch(request, *args, **kwargs)

Only recently Django has implemented its own LoginRequiredMixin. Nice snippet though -- has been useful for years!
