Scotty (WAI) api authentication / authorization

[Brandon Martin]

I have a scotty app I have been toying with for an api. I would like to be able to check authentication (stateless api key) on a per route basis and if the user is authenticated then store that user's info in the Request vault so I can access it down the chain to do different authorizations or scope on db calls. It looks like in scotty middleware are called on all routes. I am looking for some ideas or recommendations on how to go about this.

Thanks

Brandon

Did you figure this out? This is a technique to share auth code across all frameworks that is used in the Ruby world.
