A "decorator" is just a function (or any other callable) that takes a
function as argument and returns a function (or any other callable).
The @decorator syntax is only syntactic sugar.
In most cases, the returned function is just a wrapper around the
decorated one, and this is obviously what you want:
def anonymous_only(view):
# 'view' is the view function to decorate
# since we decorate views, we know the first parameter
# is always going to be the current request
#
# '_wrapper' is the function that will be used instead
# of 'view'.
def _wrapper(request, *args, **kw):
# here we can access the request object and
# either redirect or call 'view'
if request.user.is_authenticated():
return HttpResponseRedirect('/page_for_logged_in_user')
return view(request, *args, **kw)
# this part is not mandatory, but it may help debugging
_wrapper.__name__ = view.__name___
_wrapper.__doc__ = view.__doc__
# and of course we need to return our _wrapper so
# it replaces 'view'
return _wrapper
Note that this example assume you always want to redirect to the same
page if the user is logged in, which might not be the case. Things get
a bit more complicated if you want your decorator to takes the
redirection url as param, since we'll then need one more indirection,
IOW : a function that takes an url and returns a function that takes a
function and returns a 'wrapper':
def anonymous_only(redirect_to):
def deco(view):
def _wrapper(request, *args, **kw):
if request.user.is_authenticated():
return HttpResponseRedirect(redirect_to)
return view(request, *args, **kw)
_wrapper.__name__ = view.__name___
_wrapper.__doc__ = view.__doc__
return _wrapper
return deco
Then you use it that way:
@anonymous_only('/page_for_logged_in_user')
def register(request):
# code here
