dj-ms-auth-router 1.4.0

Simple database router that helps to implement microservices architecture with Django.

Django microservice auth SDK

Django auth DB router.

Simple database router that helps to split your main database and authentication database. This may be necessary when splitting a project into microservices. Let's say you have some Django project and want to split it into microservices. But all of your microservices need to use the same authentication database. This router will help you to do that.

How it works

Django project that provides authentication also shares some database with other microservices. Other microservices may have their own databases, but they all use the same authentication database. Let's look how this scheme looks like:

This is an example from dj-ms project. Follow the link to explore more.

Quickstart

Add ms_auth_router to your INSTALLED_APPS setting like this:

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    ...,
    'ms_auth_router',
    ...
]

Add DATABASE_ROUTERS setting in settings.py file or append to existing list:

DATABASE_ROUTERS = [
    'ms_auth_router.routers.DefaultRouter',
    ...
]

Add auth_db section to DATABASES:

DATABASES = {
   ...
   'auth_db': {
       'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.sqlite3',
       'NAME': BASE_DIR / 'auth.sqlite3',
   },
   ...
}

Finally, add AUTH_DB setting:

AUTH_DB = 'auth_db'

Without this setting router will use default db connection.
