1. Python & Virtual Environment

python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate  # Linux/macOS
# .\venv\Scripts\activate  # Windows

2. Install Dependencies

pip install -r requirements.txt

3. Install mbkauthepy

pip install mbkauthepy

๐Ÿš€ Quickstart Example

from flask import Flask, render_template, session
from dotenv import load_dotenv
from mbkauthepy import configure_mbkauthe, validate_session

load_dotenv()

app = Flask(__name__)
app.config['SECRET_KEY'] = 'your-secret-key'

configure_mbkauthe(app)


@app.route('/')
def home():
    return render_template('index.html')


@app.route('/dashboard')
@validate_session
def dashboard():
    user = session['user']
    return f"Welcome {user['username']}!"


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

โš™๏ธ Configuration (.env)

FLASK_SECRET_KEY=my-flask-secret

mbkautheVar='{
  "APP_NAME": "MyApp",
  "RECAPTCHA_Enabled": "false",
  "SESSION_SECRET_KEY": "super-long-random-secret",
  "IS_DEPLOYED": "false",
  "LOGIN_DB": "postgresql://user:pass@host:5432/mydb",
  "MBKAUTH_TWO_FA_ENABLE": "false",
  "COOKIE_EXPIRE_TIME": "7",
  "DOMAIN": "localhost",
  "Main_SECRET_TOKEN": "internal-api-secret-token",
  "SESSION_TYPE": "sqlalchemy",
  "SESSION_SQLALCHEMY_TABLE": "session",
  "EncryptedPassword": "true"
}'

โœ… You can override behavior by editing this JSON string directly in .env.


๐Ÿงฉ Middleware & Decorators

Decorator Purpose
@validate_session Ensures valid session is active
@check_role_permission("Role") Checks if user has required role
@validate_session_and_role("Role") Shortcut for validating both
@authenticate_token Verifies request via API token header

Example:

from src.mbkauthe import validate_session, check_role_permission, validate_session_and_role, authenticate_token


@app.route('/admin')
@validate_session_and_role("SuperAdmin")
def admin_panel():
    return "Welcome to the admin panel"


@app.route('/dashboard')
@validate_session
def dashboard():
    user = session['user']
    return f"Welcome {user['username']}"


@app.route('/secured-admin')
@validate_session_and_role("SuperAdmin")
def secured_admin():
    return "Secured Area"


@app.route('/terminate-sessions')
@authenticate_token
def terminate_sessions():
    return {"success": True}


# Example of fetching user data
data = get_user_data("johndoe", ["FullName", "email"])

๐Ÿงช API Endpoints

These are available by default after calling configure_mbkauthe(app):

Method Endpoint Description
POST /mbkauthe/api/login Authenticate and create session
POST /mbkauthe/api/logout Terminate current session
POST /mbkauthe/api/terminateAllSessions Clears all sessions (admin only)
GET /mbkauthe/i or /mbkauthe/info Current package version or metadata from the installed package

๐Ÿ—„๏ธ Database Schema

๐Ÿ‘‰ See docs/db.md for schema & setup scripts.


๐Ÿ” Security Notes

  • ๐Ÿ” Set EncryptedPassword: "true" for production use.
  • โœ… Always use long random SESSION_SECRET_KEY.
  • ๐Ÿ”’ Use HTTPS in deployment (IS_DEPLOYED: "true").
  • ๐Ÿšซ Avoid plaintext passwords outside dev/testing.

Note: Encrypted password support is under development. Stay tuned for updates!
