[authentication]allow async valdidation

[lewoudar]

Hi folks,
following #57 I'm wondering if we can't add asynchronous authentication support, but maybe this issue should be raised on django-ninja and not here 😅
Something like the following:

class AuthBearer(AsyncHttpBearer):
    async def authenticate(self, request, token):
        # call an asynchronous api
        if token == "supersecret":
            return token

What do you think?

What form of authentication support do you want to add?

[eadwinCode]

Or make asynchronous

I don't really have this use case, but one might want to connect to an LDAP server using an asynchronous call for example.
Nevertheless, I'm sure some users might need this asynchronous API.

I don't know what Async Auth classes you are referring 😅

[eadwinCode]

I mean the Auth classes here

[lewoudar]

ooh! Nice! I wasn't aware of that, you need to document it for other users 😉

[eadwinCode]

I thought I did... I will do that shortly
