code: def handle_target(self, request, controller_args, controller_kwargs):
          
          self.request = request
          super(AuthDecorator, self).handle_target(request, controller_args, controller_kwargs)
          del self.request
docs: Only here to set self.request and get rid of it after
  
          this will set self.request so the target method can access request using
          self.request, just like in the controller.
