Nexaas ID Python client

Project description

# Nexaas ID Client

This is a client for Nexaas ID. It brings support for generic OAuth
authentication and for Django and Flask frameworks.

## OAuth client

The general use is:

```python
from nexaas_id_client import NexaasIDOAuthClient

client = NexaasIDOAuthClient(
application_token,
application_secret,
server='id.nexaas.com',
redirect_uri=application_callback,
)
```

The authorization URL can get from `client.authorize_url` and the access token
can be retrieve in the callback procedure from `client.get_access_token(code)`,
where `code` is the access grant code.

### Settings for Django and Flask

- `NEXAAS_ID_CLIENT_ID`: the application token
- `NEXAAS_ID_CLIENT_SECRET`: the application secret
- `NEXAAS_ID_HOST`: the Nexaas ID host
- `NEXAAS_ID_CLIENT_SCOPE`: the scope (can be `None`)

### Django

In Django you must include the following path to the main `urlpatterns`:

```python
path('oauth/', include('nexaas_id_client.support.django.urls'))
```

The views that requires authorized access must be decorated:

```python
from nexaas_id_client.support.django.decorators import authorization_required

@authorization_required
def index(request, api_client: 'nexaas_id_client.NexaasIDClient') -> 'django.http.request.HttpResponse':
...
```

Your view must expect an `api_client` as argument – see bellow. Anyway you can
retrieve de access token from the session, under the key `oauth_access_token`.

In order to logout, use the app route `signout`. The query string key
`next_url` inform where to redirect after sign out.

**Caution:** If the view returns falsy (`None`, `False`, `0`, `""`, et cetera),
the `authorization_required` decorator redirects to sign out URL.

### Flask

The Flask support supplies a blueprint capable of deal with Nexaas ID OAuth.

The use:

```python
from flask import Flask
from nexaas_id_client.support.flask import oauth


app = Flask(__name__)
app.register_blueprint(oauth, url_prefix='/oauth')
```

The decorator is similar to Django support:

```python
from nexaas_id_client.support.flask import authorization_required, oauth
...

@app.route('/')
@authorization_required
def index(api_client: 'nexaas_id_client.NexaasIDClient') -> 'flask.Response':
...
```

Your view must expect an `api_client` as argument – see bellow. Anyway you can
retrieve de access token from the session, under the key `oauth_access_token`.

In order to logout, use the blueprint route `signout`. The query string key
`next_url` inform where to redirect after sign out.

## API client

The API client is responsible for dealing with Nexaas ID API.

You can get it this way:

```python
api_client = NexaasIDClient.from_oauth(
client.get_access_token(code),
client=client,
)
```

Where `client` is the OAuth client and `code` is the access grant code.

But, if you are using a framework support, you don’t need to do it: views
decorated by `authorization_required` will receive an API client ready to use.

### Resource API

The API client attributes:

- `access_token: str` – the access token
- `refresh_token: str` – the refresh token
- `scope: str` – the allowed scope
- `token: OAuthToken` – a token wrapper
- `id: str` – the client id
- `secret: str` – the client secret
- `server: urllib.parse.ParseResult` – the Nexaas ID server
- `personal_info: PersonalInfo` – the user’s personal data
- `professional_info: ProfessionalInfo` – the user’s professional data
- `emails: Emails` – a dictionary containing user id and the its e-mails list
- `contacts: Contacts` – a dictionary containing user id and its phone numbers
and eventually other contacts
- `invite(email: str) -> Invitation` – invite another user to the current
application

The classes `PersonalInfo`, `ProfessionalInfo`, `Emails`, `Contacts` and
`Invitation` are built on demand metaprogrammatically, and have an `id`
attribute (`uuid.UUID`) at least.

Other attributes you may expect:

- `PersonalInfo`
- `full_name: str`
- `first_name: str`
- `last_name: str`
- `nickname: str`
- `email: str`
- `birth: datetime.date`
- `gender: str`
- `language: str`
- `picture: str`
- `timezone: str`
- `country: str`
- `city: str`
- `bio: str`

- `ProfessionalInfo`
- `profession: str`
- `company: str`
- `position: str`

- `Emails`
- `emails: List[str]`

- `Contacts`:
- `phone_numbers: List[str]`

- `Invitation`:
- `email` (invited user)
- `requester` (inviter id)

- `OAuthToken`:
- `access_token: str`
- `refresh_token: str`
- `expired_at: datetime.datetime`
- `scope: str`
- `expired: bool` (maybe not present)
