I'm not really understanding https://github.com/clojure-liberator/liberator and the list of decision points that it provides to the developer. How would one implement a basic auth/auth service using/alongside/on-top-of the library?
from the readme"
Resources are compatible with Ring and can be wrapped in Ring middleware. When evaluated, a resource returns a function which takes a Ring request and returns a Ring response.
so you can then wrap it in ring-basic-authentication
(use 'ring.middleware.basic-authentication)
(defn authenticated? [name pass] (and (= name "foo") (= pass "bar")))
(def app (-> routes .. (wrap-basic-authentication authenticated?))
