NETS CORE
And set of lazy API request handlers and common tasks. Just use it if you are really sure that you don’t want to repeat common tasks in request from many sources.
REQUIREMENTS
This package requires the following packages that will be installed automatically:
Django pytz python-dateutil shortuuid django-oauth-toolkit firebase-admin django-cors-headers celery django-celery-beat django-cors-headers django-memcached python-memcached pymemcache channels[‘daphne’]
NOTES:
For celery to work, you need to set up a broker, for example, RabbitMQ or Redis. see https://docs.celeryq.dev/en/stable/getting-started/backends-and-brokers/index.html and set it in settings.py
Create a celery.py file in your project folder and set up the celery app see https://docs.celeryproject.org/en/stable/django/first-steps-with-django.html
For django-celery-beat to work, you need to set up a scheduler, for example, RabbitMQ or Redis. see https://docs.celeryproject.org/en/stable/userguide/periodic-tasks.html#starting-the-scheduler and set it in settings.py
For firebase to work, you need to set up a firebase project and download the credentials file and set it in settings.py as FIREBASE_CONFIG = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, ‘firebase-credentials.json’) see https://firebase.google.com/docs/admin/setup
For django-oauth-toolkit to work, you need to set up the authentication backend in settings.py as AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS = [‘oauth2_provider.backends.OAuth2Backend’] see https://django-oauth-toolkit.readthedocs.io/en/latest/rest-framework/getting_started.html#step-1-configure-your-authentication-backends
For django-cors-headers to work, you need to set up the middleware in settings.py as MIDDLEWARE = [‘corsheaders.middleware.CorsMiddleware’, ‘django.middleware.common.CommonMiddleware’] see

INSTALLATION
pip install django-nets-core
Add ‘nets_core’ to your INSTALLED_APPS setting like this:
INSTALLED_APPS = [
...
'oauth2_provider', # required for authentication
'nets_core',
]
Include the nets_core URLconf in your project urls.py like this:
path("", include("nets_core.auth_urls", namespace="auth")),
USAGE
# this already include csrf_exempt for API requests
from nets_core.decorators import request_handler
from nets_core.params import RequestParam
from django.http import JsonResponse
from .models import MyModel
@request_handler(
MyModel, # model that you want to use if view requires it, this return 404 if not found and check ownership or permissions test in can_do param
index_field='id' # field that will be used to get object from model, default is 'id',
# params list that you want to get from request
# this will be validated and converted to python types
# if something is missing or wrong type, error will be raised
# if public is True, this will be public in API and auth is not required
# ensure you set you authentication methods in settings include OAuth2
params=[
RequestParam('name', str, optional=False),
],
public=False, # default is False
# if ProjectMemberModel has role field can_do can be use with role names
# can_do='role:admin' will check if user has role admin in project or is owner of object
can_do='myapp.can_delete_object', # this will be check permission to do action, if not passed, only owner of object can do action, if permission does not exists will be created
perm_required=False, # default is False, this will check if user has permission to do action or is owner of object, if set to TRUE only acces will be granted if can_do is passed
)
def my_view(request):
# do something
return JsonResponse({'ok': True})
Cache is required for verification code: check https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/4.1/topics/cache/ and pick your preference cache engine and set it in settings.py.

NETS_CORE SETTINGS
Enabled multi project support
NETS_CORE_PROJECT_MODEL = 'myapp.MyProjectModel'
NETS_CORE_PROJECT_MEMBER_MODEL = 'myapp.MyProjectMemberModel'
Note that both models should be defined in your settings file. Both require def __str__(self): to be defined. If enabled roles and permissions will be check over project and membership enabled example of models:
from nets_core.models import OwnedModel, NetsCoreBaseModel
# use of OwnedModel is optional, but recommended to include user, created and updated fields,
# if not used, include user, created and updated fields in your model
class MyProjectModel(OwnedModel):
name = models.CharField(max_length=255)
enabled = models.BooleanField(default=True)
description = models.TextField(blank=True, null=True)
PROTECTED_FIELDS = ['user']
JSON_DATA_FIELDS=['name', 'description', 'enabled', 'created', 'updated' ] # OPTIONAL, but recommended is extends OwnedModel or NetsCoreBaseModel , fields to include in json data if to_json is called witout fields parameter
def __str__(self):
return self.name
MEMBER_ROLES = [
('superuser', 'Superuser'),
('member', 'Member'),
('admin', 'Admin'),
('viewer', 'Viewer')
]
class MyProjectMemberModel(OwnedModel):
project = models.ForeignKey(MyProjectModel, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
is_superuser = models.BooleanField(default=False)
enabled = models.BooleanField(default=True)
role = models.CharField(max_length=255, choices=MEMBER_ROLES, default='member') # OPTIONAL but recommended to use in access control by roles see can_do param in request_handler
JSON_DATA_FIELDS = ['id', 'is_superuser', 'role', 'user'] # User is a ForeignKey to user model, foreign models to include in json data should extend OwnedModel or NetsCoreBaseModel and include JSON_DATA_FIELDS is required
PROTECTED_FIELDS = ['is_superuser', 'project']
def __str__(self):
return f'{self.user} - {self.project}'
# example of custom method to convert member to json
# each model that extends OwnedModel or NetsCoreBaseModel
# has a to_json method that can be used to convert the model to json
def member_to_json(self):
"""
Convert the member object to a JSON representation.
:return: A dictionary representing the member object in JSON format.
"""
return {
'id': self.id,
'project_id': self.project.id,
'user_id': self.user.id,
'role': self.role,
'user': self.user.to_json(fields=('id', 'first_name', 'last_name')),
}
Setting is_superuser to True will give user superuser permissions over project, OwnedModel is Abstract model that include user, created and updated fields
set NETS_CORE_GLOBAL_PROTECTED_FIELDS
NETS_CORE_PROTECTED_FIELDS = [
'password',
'is_active',
'enabled',

'perms',
'groups',
'ip',
'email',
'doc',
'permissions',
'date_joined',
'last_login',
'verified',
'updated_fields'
] # default fields to be protected
Set verification code expire time
NETS_CORE_VERIFICATION_CODE_EXPIRE_SECONDS = 15*60 # 900 seconds
Set default verification code while DEBUG is True
By default, verification code will be 123456 if DEBUG is True, this will avoid sending emails in development and testing if you want to set a different code, set NETS_CORE_DEBUG_VERIFICATION_CODE
NETS_CORE_DEBUG_VERIFICATION_CODE = '654321' # default is 123456 if not set
Set email debug
Enable sent emails while settings.DEBUG is True, default to False. Enable if you want sent emails in development
NETS_CORE_EMAIL_DEBUG_ENABLED = True
Set excluded domains
Sometimes you want to exclude some domains from sent emails to avoid spamming, like temporary emails or testing domains like service providers as mailinator.com, temp-mail.org, guerillamail.com, emailondeck.com, ironmail.com, cloakmail.com, 10minutemail.com, 33mail.com, maildrop.cc, etc.
NETS_CORE_EMAIL_EXCLUDE_DOMAINS = ['mailinator.com', 'temp-mail.org', 'guerillamail.com', 'emailondeck.com', 'ironmail.com', 'cloakmail.com', '10minutemail.com', '33mail.com', 'maildrop.cc']
This will avoid to send emails to these domains: example user request access with me@guerillamail.com will not receive any email
Set verification code cache key
Set cache key to store verification code, default is ‘NC_T’ .. code-block:: python
NETS_CORE_VERIFICATION_CODE_CACHE_KEY = ‘NC_T’
Exclude fields from user model to be updated by auth.urls
nets_core.auth_urls provide endpoints to update user model fields, you can exclude some fields from being updated by auth.urls
Set fields that should not be updated by auth.urls
PROTECTED_FIELDS = [
"password",
"is_superuser",
"is_staff",
"is_active",
"verified",
"email_verified",
"last_login",
"date_joined",
"updated_fields",
"groups",
"user_permissions",
"doc_*",
]
# set this in your settings.py to exclude fields from user model to be updated by auth.urls
NETS_CORE_USER_PROHIBITED_FIELDS = prohibited_fields
Include nets_core.auth_urls
To enabled authentication provided by nets_core include auth.urls in your project urls.py
from django.urls import path, include
urlpatterns = [
...
path("", include("nets_core.auth_urls", namespace="auth")),
...
]
This will include the following endpoints:
urlpatterns = [
path('login/', views.auth_login, name='login'),
path('logout/', views.auth_logout, name='logout'),
path('authenticate/', views.auth, name='authenticate'),
path('update/', views.update_user, name='update'),
path('getProfile/', views.auth_get_profile, name='getProfile'),
# request account deletion, complain with GDPR see https://gdpr.eu/right-to-be-forgotten/
# and google https://support.google.com/googleplay/android-developer/answer/13327111?hl=en
# to deploy apps in google play store
# to expand info to this view include NETS_CORE_DELETE_ACCOUNT_TEMPLATE in settings.py
path('requestDelete/', views.request_delete_user_account, name='requestDelete'),
path('delete/', views.delete_user_account, name='delete'),
]
Login Request and Authentication:
Django-nets-core implement OTP authentication for login, this will send an email with a verification code to the user email, send POST request to /login/ with USERNAME_FIELD of user model.
fetch('/login/', {
method: 'POST',
headers: {
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
'X-CSRFToken': getCookie('csrftoken')
},
body: JSON.stringify({
username: 'myUsername', // if you set the USERNAME_FIELD to email then use email parameter
// device is optional, if provided will link verification code to device
// required if you want to use firebase messaging to send push notifications
// only in login request are accepted device registration, you can implement your own device registration
// from nets_core.models import UserDevice
device: {
"name": "device name",
"os": "os",
"os_version": "os_version",
"device_token": "device_token",
"firebase_token": "firebase_token",
"app_version": "app_version",
"device_id": "device_id",
"device_type": "device_type",
}
})
})
.then(response => response.json()) // {res: 1, data: "CODE SENT", extra: {device_uuid: 'uuid'}}
...
This will send an email with a verification code to the user email, send POST request to /authenticate/ with the verification code if device is provided, the device_uuid is required to complete the authentication.
fetch('/authenticate/', {
method: 'POST',
headers: {
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
'X-CSRFToken': getCookie('csrftoken')
},
body: JSON.stringify({
username: 'myUsername', // should match with USERNAME_FIELD of user model ex: email: 'my@email.com'
code: '123456', // verification code if DEBUG is True, code will be always 123456 and emails will not be sent, except if NETS_CORE_EMAIL_DEBUG_ENABLED is True
client_id: 'client_id',
client_secret: 'client_secret',
device_uuid: 'uuid' // optional, required if device is provided in login request
})
})
.then(response => response.json()) // {res: 1, data: "AUTHENTICATED", extra: {access_token: 'token', refresh_token: 'refresh_token'}}
// success response
{
"access_token": access_token.token,
"refresh_token": refresh_token.token,
"token_expire": access_token.expires,
"user": jsonUser // set JSON_DATA_FIELDS in your user model to include fields in jsonUser or override to_json method
}
// error response
{
"res": 0,
"error": "error message"
}
Authenticated requests:
Include access_token in Authorization header to authenticate requests
fetch('/myview/', {
method: 'GET',
headers: {
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
'Authorization': 'Bearer ' + access_token
}
})
.then(response => response.json())
Logout:
Send POST request to /logout/ with access_token in Authorization header to logout cookies will be removed and access_token will be invalidated
fetch('/logout/', {
method: 'POST',
headers: {
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
'Authorization': 'Bearer ' + access_token,
'X-CSRFToken': getCookie('csrftoken')
}
})
.then(response => response.json()) // {res: 1, data: "LOGGED OUT"}
Update user model fields:
Send POST request to /update/ with access_token in Authorization header to update user model fields
fetch('/update/', {
method: 'POST',
headers: {
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
'Authorization': 'Bearer ' + access_token,
'X-CSRFToken': getCookie('csrftoken')
},
body: JSON.stringify({
first_name: 'new first name',
last_name: 'new last name',
... // other fields to update
})
})
.then(response => response.json()) // {res: 1, data: {...jsonUser}}
Get user profile:
Send GET request to /getProfile/ with access_token in Authorization header to get user profile
fetch('/getProfile/', {
method: 'GET',
headers: {
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
'Authorization': 'Bearer ' + access_token
}
})
.then(response => response.json()) // {res: 1, data: {...jsonUser}}
Request account deletion:
Link users to /requestDelete/ to request account deletion, render a form to confirm account deletion
Delete user account:
To implement your own view to confirm account deletion, request an access code to /login/ then Send POST request to /delete/ two parameters sure and code.
fetch('/delete/', {
method: 'POST',
headers: {
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
'Authorization': 'Bearer ' + access_token,
'X-CSRFToken': getCookie('csrftoken')
},
body: JSON.stringify({
sure: true, // required to confirm account deletion
code: '123456' // verification code to confirm account deletion, should be requested in /requestDelete/
})
})
.then(response => response.json()) // {res: 1, data: "Account deleted successfully"}
To ensure this deletion run without errors, set CASCADE in all relations to user model, this will delete all related objects to user model, if not set CASCADE, this will raise an error and account will not be deleted.
class MyModel(models.Model):
user = models.ForeignKey(User, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
class MyModel2(models.Model):
user = models.ForeignKey(User, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
Enabled testers for tests or third party verifications
Enabling testers will allow test autentication without receiving email verification code, for this to work you need to set the following settings
NETS_CORE_TESTERS_EMAILS = ['google_testers234*', 'tester1@myappdomain.com']
NETS_CORE_TESTERS_VERIFICATION_CODE = '475638'
NETS_CORE_TESTERS_EMAILS is a list of emails that will be allowed to authenticate without receiving email verification code this could end with * to allow all emails that start with the string before the *, for production use a strong string and different for each project and environment, to avoid unauthorized access
NETS_CORE_TESTERS_VERIFICATION_CODE is the verification code that will be used to authenticate testers
Customize account deletion template
To customize the account deletion email template, create a template in your project templates folder and set the path in settings.py
NETS_CORE_DELETE_ACCOUNT_TEMPLATE = 'myapp/account_deletion.html'
This will include and info template in account deletion view.
# login url accept device to link verification code to device
valid_device_fields = [
"name",
"os",
"os_version",
"device_token",
"firebase_token",
"app_version",
"device_id",
"device_type",
]
valid_device_fields is use to update or create device if uuid is provided, device will be updated, otherwise created if invalid uuid is provided, error will be raised
DJANGO SETTINGS
DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL is used for emails
CORS REQUEST AND POST require
CSRF_COOKIE_SAMESITE = 'None'
CSRF_COOKIE_SECURE = True
# firebase credentials
# required if you want to use firebase messaging to send push notifications
FIREBASE_CONFIG = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'firebase-credentials.json')
# "Service account certificates can be downloaded as JSON files from
# the Firebase console. To instantiate a credential from a certificate file,
# either specify the file path or a dict representing the parsed contents of the file."
To generate a firebase credentials file, go to your firebase project configuration, select service accounts, and generate a new private key, this will download a JSON file with your credentials.
- Alternatively, you can set FIREBASE_CONFIG environment variable to the path of your
credentials file.
# linux / mac
export FIREBASE_CONFIG=/path/to/your/firebase-credentials.json
# windows
set FIREBASE_CONFIG=/path/to/your/firebase-credentials.json
# or set it in your settings.py
FIREBASE_CONFIG = '/path/to/your/firebase-credentials.json'
To send push notifications, you can use the following function:
from nets_core.firebase_messages import send_user_device_notification
# to send notification to all devices registered to user
# will use all tokens registered in nets_core_user_device table
# returns dict[device.id] = {'success': True, 'message_id': '1234'} or {'success': False, 'error': 'error message'}
devices_results = send_user_device_notification(
user, # user object
title: str, # title of notification
message: str, # body of notification
data: dict, # data to send with notification, all keys and values should be strings, this will be sent as data in notification
channel: str = 'default' # channel_id to send notification, default is 'default'
)
# to send to a specific device
from nets_core.firebase_messages import send_fb_message
send_fb_message(
title: str, # title of notification
message: str, # body of notification
device_token: str, # device token to send notification
data: dict, # data to send with notification, all keys and values should be strings, this will be sent as data in notification
channel: str = 'default' # channel_id to send notification, default is 'default'
)
You can test push notifications with command line:
# Test with token
./manage.py send_push_notification --firebase_token 'device_token'
# Test with user id
./manage.py send_push_notification --user_id 'user_id'
Additionally, you can set title and message with –title and –message respectively.
