Just out of curiosity, why is the AuthenticationDirective using a Tuple1[T] instead of just T? Is this because of forward compatibility or has this some other reason?
It’s because we have infrastructure for combining directives of arbitrary arity touples into other “combined” directives, where the type is simply the sum of the TupleN and TupleM becomes a Tuple(N+M) with the values combined. Having a special case for 1 would involve more conversions and possibly not even work then, thus expressing it as Tuple1. Same with directives that don’t provide values — they are Tuple0. trait AuthenticationDirective[T] extends Directive1[T] type Directive1[T] = Directive[Tuple1[T]] Also it seems that the doc https://doc.akka.io/docs/akka-http/current/routing-dsl/directives/security-directives/authenticateBasicAsync.html?language=scala is out of date because it does not reflect this in the example and it also contains a reference to a not existing class HttpAuthenticator. I would like to fix the doc (provide a PR) but I think I am not experienced enough. Thanks for reporting — could you open a ticket about this? http://github.com/akka/akka-http/issues so we don’t miss it? You can pretty easily fix things even in the web UI, so I’d recommend you give it a shot :-) Would be very nice of you, thanks! Here’s the file of the page: https://github.com/akka/akka-http/blob/master/docs/src/main/paradox/routing-dsl/directives/security-directives/authenticateBasicAsync.md (this is linked to on the page itself, as “The source code for this page can be found here”).
