Usage

from flask_rebar_auth0 import get_authenticated_user


@registry.handles(
    rule="/users/me",
    method="GET",
    marshal_schema=UserSchema(),
    authenticator=authenticator, # Use the authenticator
)
def get_user():
    return get_authenticated_user() # Get the user data created by the identity_handler


@registry.handles(
    rule="/users/me/location",
    method="GET",
    marshal_schema=UserLocationSchema(),
    authenticator=authenticator.with_scopes(["read:location"]), # Require some scopes to access the ressource
)
def get_user_location():
    user = get_authenticated_user()
    return locationService.get(user)

Swagger

If you wish to use swagger, you will need to register the custom authenticators. This is needed by rebar to be able to convert them to the right swagger security definition. If you use the Cookie authentication, please note that swagger 2.0 does support this method of authentication. It will be registered as a Cookie header.
