django-decorator-include

What it is and what it does

django-decorator-include is a utility that extends Django's URL routing to apply decorators to entire included URL configurations at once. Instead of decorating individual views, you pass one or more decorators alongside the URL module you want to include, and all views in that module inherit those decorators in the order you specify.

It's useful when you have a set of related views that all need the same protection or behavior—such as a login requirement or permission check—without decorating each view individually. The package depends only on Django and importlib_metadata, has no known vulnerabilities, and supports Django versions from 2.2 through 6.1.

Use it for:

• Protect an entire section of your site by wrapping its URL include with login_required and permission decorators.
• Apply custom authentication logic to a group of endpoints without repeating the decorator on every view.
• Enforce role-based access control on a module of views by stacking multiple permission-check decorators in one include.
• Add request logging or rate-limiting to a subsection of your URL configuration by including it with a custom decorator.
