The problem

We have a Vue app that gets rendered in a specific route within the Django app. However, some of the routes in the Vue app should be guarded (/dashboard, for example) whereas others should not be guarded (/privacy, for example).

We can simply hard-code / duplicate the routes that are supposed to be guarded in the Django urls.py but that is not super maintainable long term and prone for errors since one would need to remember to add a public route in both sides.

A possible solution

We could potentially attempt to have a single JSON file that would represent routes to be consumed both by the Vue app and the Django app. This would eliminate the duplication and avoid errors in the future.
