CBV decorator from view function decorator

The Mixin approach for applying permissions to CBV views suffers from 3 issues:

1. you need to read the code to see what permissions are being applied to a View
2. multiple bits of disparate code required to specify, e.g., a simple permission check
3. permissions set on a base class are overridden by permission set on sub-class, unless special care is taken

Here's a nice trick, using only built-in django machinery, apply a decorator intended to decorate a django view function to a CBV view. https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.11/topics/class-based-views/intro/#decorating-the-class

This approach works for any function decorators with arguments - simply wrap it in a function that takes the same arguments:

def my_cbv_decorator(*args **kwargs):
    return method_decorator(a_view_function_decorator(*args, **kwargs), name='dispatch')

Use your new CBV decorator to decorate View sub-classes:

@my_cbv_decorator('some_parameter')
class MyCBView(django.views.generic.TemplateView):
     pass  # dispatch method for this view is now wrapped by a_view_function_decorator

Note: you can also pass decorator parameter directly to method_decorator, but wrapping it up like this makes the code read nicer.
