Protect Views with login_required

Gate routes and redirect anonymous users.

Some Pages Need a Guard

A dashboard or settings page should never load for a stranger. You protect such routes so only a logged-in user can reach them.

The login_required Decorator

Flask-Login hands you a one-line gate: the login_required decorator. Stack it on any view and anonymous visitors get bounced away.

from flask_login import login_required
