flask_jwtlogin 0.2.1

# Flask-jwtlogin quickstart
flask-jwtlogin is a lightweight flask extension to handle users in REST APIs
What it offers to you:
* **jwt_required** decorator to check jwt presence in current request
* **generate_jwt** func to get token with user identifier encrypted
* **load_user** for manual loading user from request using callback function
* **current_user** proxy

### How to use it?
First of all, you need some configuration:
```python
{
'JWT_HEADER_NAME': 'your_header_name', #header to retrieve token from request
'JWT_SECRET_KEY': 'you will never guess me', #keep it secret
'JWT_ENCODING_ALGORITHM': 'HS256', #look at algorithms present in PyJWT
'JWT_LIFETIME': 3600 * 24 * 7 # in seconds
}
```
Then create a login manager instance.
```python
login_manager = jwtl.JWTLogin() #creating instance
login_manager.init_app(app) #importing configuration
```

You need to set callback function loading users from your storage and to inherit your user class from KnownUser
```python
class User(jwtl.KnownUser):
"""Example of class representing user"""
def __init__(self, name, age, identifier):
self.name = name
self.age = age
self.identifier = identifier

user_storage = [ #sample storage
User("Tom", 22, "AF5F123"),
User("Jim", 25, "FFF1832"),
User("Peter", 18, "CB0CA931")]


@login_manager.user_loader
def load_user(identifier):
"""example of user loader function"""
for i in user_storage:
if i.identifier == identifier:
return i
```

Sample route to generate user tokens:
```python
@app.route('/get-token/<name>')
def get_token(name):
"""Sample view that returns jwt"""
for i in user_storage:
if i.name == name:
return jsonify(login_manager.generate_jwt_token(i.identifier))
abort(401)
```

Sample route to load user:
```python
@app.route('/login/')
@login_manager.jwt_required
def login():
"""View that loads user from jwt present in request"""
user = login_manager.load_user()
return user.identifier
```

the example above shows the way of manual user loading but module also provides suitable proxy
The **jwt_required** decorator adds user loaded from request to **flask.g** and **current_user** loads it.
```python
@app.route('/current_user_test/')
@login_manager.jwt_required
def test_current_user():
return jwtl.current_user.identifier
```
flask.g lives inside application context (new for each request) so it's safe to store values in API there
