How to handle HTMX redirect in authMiddleware? (is this correct?)

[maour]

Hey guys,

In my dashboard, when user moves around, I use HTMX and swap and when the session expires, user will correctly redirect to /signin url but there's an issue here.

Login page also swaps at the same place and dashboard sidebar remains visible.

I used this code to fix it, just wanted to check if this is correct or is there a better way to handle this?

try {
   await ctx.auth.authenticateUsing(options.guards, { loginRoute: this.redirectTo })
   return next()
 } catch (error) {
    if (ctx.request.header('HX-Request')) {
       ctx.response.header('HX-Redirect', this.redirectTo)
       ctx.response.status(401)
       return next()
     } else {
       await ctx.auth.authenticateUsing(options.guards, { loginRoute: this.redirectTo })
       return next()
   }
 }
