Repeating code at the top of the handler function body to validate whether the user is banned. (It doesn't look nice, but you have control.)\n\n2. Using a decorator that performs the validations for you. (It's not much different from the first option; after all, you still repeat code above the functions, but you still have control.)\n\n3. Defining a handler with a higher group/priority and using `StopPropagation`. (It seems much more practical, BUT, if the handler unexpectedly breaks before you call `StopPropagation`, the banned user will bypass this validation layer; wrapping the entire function in a `try` will be necessary.)\n\n---\n\nI really like the third option, it would be interesting if we could define it as StopPropagation (to ensure that it does not propagate even if an error occurs) before validation, and after using CotinuePropagation, for example:\n\n```python\n\nasync def layer_check_user_banned(client: Client, message: Message):\n    user = ......\n    if user.banned:\n      raise StopPropagation\n\n@Client.on_message(group=-1)\nasync def setup(client: Client, message: Message):\n    await update.stop_propagation()\n\n    layers = (layer_check_user_banned, layer_check_user_has_username, .....)\n    for layer in layers:\n      await layer(client, message)\n\n    await update.continue_propagation()\n```\n----\nAlternatively I'm using decorators in these security layers to catch the error and rethrow it as `StopPropagation`:\n\n```python\ndef layer(function):\n    async def _decorator(*args, **kwargs):\n        try:\n            return await function(*args, **kwargs)\n        except StopPropagation:\n            raise\n        except Exception as e:\n            logging.error(\n                f'Layer {function.__name__!r} traceback:',\n                exc_info=e\n            )\n            raise StopPropagation\n    return _decorator\n```","author":{"url":"https://github.com/d3cryptofc","@type":"Person","name":"d3cryptofc"},"datePublished":"2025-07-13T22:50:59.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":0},"url":"https://github.com/69/hydrogram/issues/69"}
