Doesn't support django generic views?

Docs state to use @settings.AUTH.login_required how would this be used in generic views?

@settings.AUTH.login_required
class `IndexView(generic.ListView):
...

I would also like to add the route to all views, is there a generic way to do this other than adding the decorator everywhere?

I haven't tried that myself. You may try to see whether Decorating class-based views helps.

This library does not provide such a way out of the box, but perhaps you can look into How to apply a decorator to all views (of a module) in django.

Caveat: Only decorate the views that really need authentication, rather than blindly decorate ALL requests. There used to be a troubleshooting case where the reporter managed to incorrectly decorate both /index and /images/logo.jpg. The latter was also used in their login template`. That setup ended up having their login page triggered another login session which caused the original login session to always fail. It was difficult to debug.
