Flask Auth Middleware

Flask Auth Middlewawre is a middleware for securing flask application. It provides a convenient way to secure your Flask routes and endpoints using jwt tokens.

Features

• Easily protect routes and endpoints with JWT authentication.
• Lightweight and designed for simplicity.

Requirements

Python 3

• Flask obvisouly 😁😁😁😊😊
• PyJWT

Installation

$ pip install flask_auth_middleware

Example

Create it

• Create a file app.py with:

from flask import Flask
from flask_auth_middleware import JWTAuthMiddleware

app = Flask(__name__)

app.wsgi_app = JWTAuthMiddleware(app, "your_secret_key")


@app.get("/")
def hello():
    return "Hello, World!"

@app.get("/namaste")
def hello():
    return "Namaste, World!"

Here all the routes of flask application will be protected by JWTAuthMiddleware.

If you want to secure selective routes. Then here you go:

from flask import Flask, jsonify, request

from flask_auth_middleware import login_required

app = Flask(__name__)


secret_key = "your_secret_key"


@app.route("/public")
def public_data():
    return jsonify({"message": "This is public data"})


@app.route("/protected")
@login_required(secret_key=secret_key, algorithms=["HS256"])
def protected_route(decoded_payload):
    # your logic with decoded payload
    return jsonify(
        {"message": "This is public data.", "decoded_payload": decoded_payload}
    )


if __name__ == "__main__":
    app.run(debug=True)

$ flask run
