django-hawk 1.2.0

Authenticate Django Views with HAWK

Django Hawk

This package can be used to help create HAWK Authenticated views.

Installation

pip install django-hawk

Add the following to your Django Settings:

DJANGO_HAWK = {
    "HAWK_INCOMING_ACCESS_KEY": "xxx",
    "HAWK_INCOMING_SECRET_KEY": "xxx",
}

Example Usage

To use the HAWK Authentication, we need to do 2 things:

1. Make sure the HawkResponseMiddleware runs
2. Check the authentication

Add the HawkResponseMiddleware to the MIDDLEWARE setting in your project like so:

MIDDLEWARE = [
    ...
    "django_hawk.middleware.HawkResponseMiddleware",
    ...
]

To check the authentication you can call django_hawk.utils.authenticate_request, if an exception isn't raised then you know that the request is authenticated, see below for examples.

from django.http import HttpResponse

from django_hawk.utils import DjangoHawkAuthenticationFailed, authenticate_request

def simple_view(request):
    # Try to authenticate with HAWK
    try:
        authenticate_request(request=request)
    except DjangoHawkAuthenticationFailed as e:
        return HttpResponse(status=401)

    # Continue with normal View code...
    return HttpResponse("This is a simple view")

Testing

Tests belong in the /django_hawk/tests/ directory. You can run the tests by installing the requirements like so:

make setup

Now you can run the tests using the following command:

poetry run python manage.py test

Tox tests

We use tox to test compatibility across different Django versions.

To run these tests with tox, just run the following:

make tox

Pushing to PyPI

• PyPI Package
• Test PyPI Package

Running make build-package will build the package into the dist/ directory.

Running make push-pypi-test will push the built package to Test PyPI.

Running make push-pypi will push the built package to PyPI.

Setting up poetry for pushing to PyPI

First you will need to add the test pypy repository to your poetry config:

poetry config repositories.test-pypi https://test.pypi.org/legacy/

Then go to https://test.pypi.org/manage/account/token/ and generate a token.

Then add it to your poetry config:

poetry config pypi-token.test-pypi XXXXXXXX

Then you also need to go to https://pypi.org/manage/account/token/ to generate a token for the real PyPI.

Then add it to your poetry config:

poetry config pypi-token.pypi XXXXXXXX

Now the make commands should work as expected.
