Support enabling/disabling basic auth at runtime

[rettrich]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

In my app I want to enable / disable basic auth based on environment variables at boot time. I want to build the app only once and configure it dynamically at runtime. Currently, this is not possible, as basic auth can only be set at build time. The "nuxt-security:routeRules" hook does not respect changes to the basic Auth setting.

Describe the solution you'd like

Similar to the "nuxt-security:routeRules" hook, I want to be able to enable/disable basic auth at runtime.

Hey, thanks for this feature idea. I am not sure now how it could work as it is currently enabled globally as you mentioned. Do you maybe have an idea how this could be implemented?

Maybe you would be interested in contributing by creating a Proof of Concept branch with this feature? I can provide all help needed :)

Sure, from taking a look at the current implementation I am also not sure how to do it. But I can try creating a PoC, probably won't get around to it though in the next 2 weeks or so.
