layout for api

[Carlos-err406]

hi
is there a way to do some logic for a grouped set of +server routes?
for example say there is a

/routes/api/(protected)/users/+server.ts
/routes/api/(public)/login/+server.ts

and all routes within the (protected) group have a authentication step before actually accessing the endpoint
how i imagined it was placing a +layout.server in the (protected) group
that takes the request and authenticates it before getting to the actual endpoint
even better would be if there was a way to send data from the layout to the children +server(s)
similar to the PageData or LayoutData

Look into server hooks. You can have the hook redirect the user to the authentication page if they are not authenticated, or let the request go through if they are.
