disable flask-jwt across all routes

I have a situation where I am building an API, which allows access to different datasets. One dataset requires authentication and another dataset is public and does not. I need to use the same defined API (and all its routes) for access. Is there a way I can use flask-jwt for API authentication across all of my routes, but then disable it on a config setting or toggle?

I currently apply the jwt_required decorator as a default to all my of routes from a single base class. This works perfectly for the cases for private data. I need a way to turn off the authentication system when a certain setting is applied. Is there a way to disable the jwt_required decorator once applied, or to disable the flask-jwt extension all together? Or maybe override it?

In my flask-restplus app I’m doing this:

import os
from flask_restful.inputs import boolean
if not boolean(os.getenv('JWT_ON', False)): jwt_required = lambda fn: fn

This is what I use for debugging (@pgalilea’s method didn’t work for me):

def dummy_jwt_required(realm=None):
    def wrapper(fn):
        @wraps(fn)
        def decorator(*args, **kwargs):
            return fn(*args, **kwargs)
        return decorator
    return wrapper

auth_required = dummy_jwt_required if config['DEBUG'] else jwt_required

@app.route('/dashboard')
@auth_required()
def dashboard():
    ...
