Defines authentication logic for routes that require it. Authentication uses token based auth with the Authentication header.

Setting up authentication:

To configure the dashboard with authentication, add the expected auth token to your application’s config:

# config/config.exs
config :kitto, auth_token: "asecret"

Authenticating requests

To authenticate requests that require it, pass the auth token in the Authentication header of the request:

Authentication: Token asecret

An example cURL request to reload all dashboards with authentication:

$ curl -H "Authentication: Token asecret" -X POST http://localhost:4000/dashboards

Marking routes as authenticated

When adding new routes, to mark them as authenticated, add the authenticated key to the route’s private config:

get “my/authenticated/route”, private: %{authenticated: true} do # Process normal request end
