Description

This is an implementation of an access management to be used in a dash app. It provides login, logout and sign up buttons that can be integrated in a layout of a dash app.

Installation

Install the extension with pip:

pip install dash-access-manager

Usage

Once installed, import the package in your app.py.

import dash-access-manager as dam

app = dash.Dash(__name__)

server = app.server

Then, you have to set up the access manager. You need to change your_secret_key_here as it not secret. To do so, you can generate a secret key with the os module by using os.urandom(12)

#Define a secret key that is required for Flask-Login to manage user session
server.secret_key = 'your_secret_key_here' 

# Suppress errors for callbacks acting on layouts that are not displayed yet
app.config.suppress_callback_exceptions = True

# Initialize the acess manager
dam.init_access_manager(app)

After this you will define the layouts and callbacks of your dash app. Here is an simple example that can be used as it is.

app.layout = html.Div(children=[dcc.Location(id='url', refresh=False),
                            html.Div(id='root'),
                            html.Div(id='container')
                            ])


def render_default_page(navbar_button=[], page_content=[html.H3("Login successfull")]):
    return [
               dbc.Navbar([
                              dbc.NavbarBrand("Navbar"),
                          ] + navbar_button,
                          color="primary")
           ] + page_content


@app.callback(Output('root', 'children'),
              [Input('url', 'pathname')])
def display_page(pathname):
    if dam.current_user.is_authenticated:
        return render_default_page(dam.render_logout_button(), dam.render_logged_page())
    else:
        return render_default_page(dam.render_navbar_login() + dam.render_navbar_sign_up(), dam.render_login_page())

Finally, you need to connect the app with your MongoDB database before running your app. You have to change DatabaseName and DatabaseURL with the ones you want to use. If you want to use MongoDB you need to this change the host parameter at mongodb+srv://[e-mail] where you have to replace username, password and cluster.url by your information.

if __name__ == "__main__":
    dam.connect(
        db='DatabaseName',
        host='DatabaseURL'
    )
    app.run_server()

You can use this file app.py to try it out.
