Make auth optional in withAuthRequired (withAuth ?)

[dabarrell]

The withAuthRequired helper is useful for pages which should only be accessed by authenticated users, but there is a use-case for pages which are public, but could still take advantage of a user server-side prop when a user is authenticated.

It would be great to do something along the lines of renaming withAuthRequired to withAuth, and make authRequired a boolean argument – if true, redirect if no user is authed, if false, continue but set user to null.

There are clearly other options re naming the arguments etc.

That's an interesting idea indeed, we'll discuss, thanks for suggesting!

I think this is a fantastic idea and hit this exact problem in a side project I was working on 💯

This is now possible via withPageAuth
