Redirect When Not Authenticated in PHP + HTMX

Hello Punk!

Yes, I am again. Using HTMX as an isolated component and creating Hypermedia interactivity with less JavaScript code is my goal. (We not talking about ~~Offline First~~, That's sound "Uuuuaagggrrrrh!" for me)

HTMX using xmlhttprequest when I use hx-{verbs} but in another side (the backend) I use PHP so, this function:

function handleAjaxOrRedirect(Response $response, string $path, int $code)
{
    if (isset($_SERVER['HTTP_X_REQUESTED_WITH']) && strtolower($_SERVER['HTTP_X_REQUESTED_WITH']) === 'xmlhttprequest') {
        $response->setStatusCode($code);
    } else {
        $response->redirect($path);
    }
    exit();
}

Really help me so much (thanks for myself) when I need to make sure is the request is valid / authenticated. Like...

$response = new Response();
if (!isAuthenticate()) {
    handleAjaxOrRedirect($response, '/', 401);
}

I use it inside each controller __constructor. Yes, That's it!
