daylily-cognito 0.1.13

Shared Cognito authentication library for FastAPI + Jinja2 web apps

daylily-cognito

Shared AWS Cognito authentication library for FastAPI + Jinja2 web applications.

Installation

# Basic installation
pip install -e .

# With JWT verification support (recommended)
pip install -e ".[auth]"

# With development dependencies
pip install -e ".[dev,auth]"

Configuration

Option 1: Explicit Constructor

from daylily_cognito import CognitoConfig, CognitoAuth

config = CognitoConfig(
    name="myapp",
    region="us-west-2",
    user_pool_id="us-west-2_XXXXXXXXX",
    app_client_id="XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX",
    aws_profile="my-profile",  # optional
)
config.validate()  # raises ValueError if invalid

auth = CognitoAuth(
    region=config.region,
    user_pool_id=config.user_pool_id,
    app_client_id=config.app_client_id,
    app_client_secret=config.app_client_secret,  # optional, for clients with secrets
    profile=config.aws_profile,
)

App Client Secret Support

When a Cognito app client has a client secret enabled, all authentication API calls require a SECRET_HASH parameter. The library automatically computes this when app_client_secret is provided:

# For app clients WITH a secret
auth = CognitoAuth(
    region="us-west-2",
    user_pool_id="us-west-2_pUqKyIM1N",
    app_client_id="your-client-id",
    app_client_secret="your-client-secret",  # Required for clients with secrets
)

# The SECRET_HASH is automatically computed as:
# base64(hmac_sha256(client_secret, username + client_id))

Note: If your Cognito app client was created with GenerateSecret=True, you MUST provide the app_client_secret parameter, otherwise authentication will fail with "Unable to verify secret hash for client".

Option 2: Namespaced Environment Variables

For multi-tenant or multi-environment setups:

export DAYCOG_PROD_REGION=us-west-2
export DAYCOG_PROD_USER_POOL_ID=us-west-2_abc123
export DAYCOG_PROD_APP_CLIENT_ID=client123
export DAYCOG_PROD_AWS_PROFILE=prod-profile  # optional

from daylily_cognito import CognitoConfig

config = CognitoConfig.from_env("PROD")

Option 3: Legacy Environment Variables

For backward compatibility with existing deployments:

export COGNITO_REGION=us-west-2        # or AWS_REGION, defaults to us-west-2
export COGNITO_USER_POOL_ID=us-west-2_abc123
export COGNITO_APP_CLIENT_ID=client123  # or COGNITO_CLIENT_ID
export AWS_PROFILE=my-profile           # optional

from daylily_cognito import CognitoConfig

config = CognitoConfig.from_legacy_env()

CLI Usage

The daycog CLI provides commands for managing Cognito resources:

# Check configuration status
daycog status

# Create user pool and app client
daycog setup --name my-pool --port 8001

# List users
daycog list-users

# Add a user
daycog add-user [e-mail]

# Set user password
daycog set-password --email [e-mail] --password NewPass123

# Delete a user
daycog delete-user --email [e-mail]

# Delete all users (use with caution!)
daycog delete-all-users --force

# Delete the entire pool
daycog teardown --force

Multi-Config CLI Usage

Use --config NAME to select a named configuration:

export DAYCOG_PROD_REGION=us-west-2
export DAYCOG_PROD_USER_POOL_ID=us-west-2_prod
export DAYCOG_PROD_APP_CLIENT_ID=client_prod

export DAYCOG_DEV_REGION=us-east-1
export DAYCOG_DEV_USER_POOL_ID=us-east-1_dev
export DAYCOG_DEV_APP_CLIENT_ID=client_dev

daycog --config PROD status
daycog --config DEV list-users

FastAPI Integration

from fastapi import Depends, FastAPI
from daylily_cognito import CognitoAuth, CognitoConfig, create_auth_dependency

app = FastAPI()

# Load config and create auth handler
config = CognitoConfig.from_legacy_env()
auth = CognitoAuth(
    region=config.region,
    user_pool_id=config.user_pool_id,
    app_client_id=config.app_client_id,
)

# Create dependencies
get_current_user = create_auth_dependency(auth)
get_optional_user = create_auth_dependency(auth, optional=True)

@app.get("/protected")
def protected_route(user: dict = Depends(get_current_user)):
    return {"user": user}

@app.get("/public")
def public_route(user: dict | None = Depends(get_optional_user)):
    return {"user": user}

OAuth2 Helpers

from daylily_cognito import (
    build_authorization_url,
    build_logout_url,
    exchange_authorization_code,
)

# Build authorization URL for login redirect
auth_url = build_authorization_url(
    domain="myapp.auth.us-west-2.amazoncognito.com",
    client_id="abc123",
    redirect_uri="http://localhost:8000/auth/callback",
    state="csrf-token",
)

# Exchange authorization code for tokens
tokens = exchange_authorization_code(
    domain="myapp.auth.us-west-2.amazoncognito.com",
    client_id="abc123",
    code="auth-code-from-callback",
    redirect_uri="http://localhost:8000/auth/callback",
)

# Build logout URL
logout_url = build_logout_url(
    domain="myapp.auth.us-west-2.amazoncognito.com",
    client_id="abc123",
    logout_uri="http://localhost:8000/",
)

Google OAuth Integration

daylily-cognito supports standalone Google OAuth2 authentication that auto-creates users in your Cognito user pool. This hybrid approach lets users sign in with Google while keeping Cognito as the single user directory.

Prerequisites

1. Create a Google Cloud project and enable the OAuth consent screen
2. Create OAuth 2.0 credentials in the Google Cloud Console
3. Register http://localhost:8000/auth/google/callback as an authorized redirect URI

Environment Variables

Namespaced:

export DAYCOG_PROD_GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID="your-google-client-id"
export DAYCOG_PROD_GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET="your-google-client-secret"

Legacy:

export GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID="your-google-client-id"
export GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET="your-google-client-secret"

Or use the CLI helper:

daycog setup-google --client-id YOUR_ID --client-secret YOUR_SECRET

Usage

from daylily_cognito import (
    build_google_authorization_url,
    exchange_google_code_for_tokens,
    fetch_google_userinfo,
    auto_create_cognito_user_from_google,
    generate_state_token,
    CognitoAuth,
    CognitoConfig,
)

# 1. Build authorization URL and redirect the user
state = generate_state_token()
auth_url = build_google_authorization_url(
    client_id="your-google-client-id",
    redirect_uri="http://localhost:8000/auth/google/callback",
    state=state,
)

# 2. In your callback handler, exchange the code for tokens
tokens = exchange_google_code_for_tokens(
    client_id="your-google-client-id",
    client_secret="your-google-client-secret",
    code=request.query_params["code"],
    redirect_uri="http://localhost:8000/auth/google/callback",
)

# 3. Fetch the user's Google profile
userinfo = fetch_google_userinfo(tokens["access_token"])
# userinfo contains: sub, email, email_verified, name, given_name,
#                    family_name, picture, locale, hd (if Google Workspace)

# 4. Auto-create or retrieve the Cognito user
config = CognitoConfig.from_legacy_env()
auth = CognitoAuth(
    region=config.region,
    user_pool_id=config.user_pool_id,
    app_client_id=config.app_client_id,
)
result = auto_create_cognito_user_from_google(auth, userinfo)
# result = {"user": {...}, "created": True/False, "google_sub": "...", "email": "..."}

Google Attributes Captured

All attributes available with standard scopes (openid email profile) — no extra permissions required:

Claim	Description
sub	Unique Google user ID
email	Email address
email_verified	Whether email is verified by Google
name	Full display name
given_name	First name
family_name	Last name
picture	Profile photo URL
locale	User locale (BCP 47)
hd	Hosted domain (Google Workspace only, absent for personal accounts)

Cognito Custom Attributes

The user pool must have these custom attributes configured:

• custom:customer_id — defaults to Google sub
• custom:google_sub — Google unique user ID
• custom:google_hd — hosted domain (optional, populated when present)
