Starlette Authlib Middleware
Introduction
A drop-in replacement for Starlette session middleware, using authlib's jwt.
Rationale
It is sometimes necessary to integrate a Starlette-based application into more complex scenarios where other actors need to make decisions based on session data. This middleware makes this possible by using a standard JWT token instead of the Starlette-encrypted one, thus simplifying interaction with third-party components.
Requirements
- Python 3.10+
- Starlette 0.9+
Installation
pip install starlette-authlib
Usage
A complete example where we drop-in replace standard session middleware:
from starlette.applications import Starlette
from starlette_authlib.middleware import AuthlibMiddleware as SessionMiddleware
app = Starlette()
app.add_middleware(SessionMiddleware, secret_key='secret')
Other things you can configure either via environment variables or .env file:
DOMAIN- declare cookie domain. App must be under this domain. If empty, the cookie is restricted to the subdomain of the app (this is useful when you write eg. SSO portals)JWT_ALG- one of authlib JWT supported algorithmsJWT_SECRET- jwt secret. Only useful for HS* algorithms, see thesample_appfolder for middleware usage w/ crypto keys.
See it in action: sample application
A sample application is included, and you can run it with either Starlette-based session middleware or this one, just by setting a variable:
# run with vanilla Starlette-based session middleware
VANILLA=1 uvicorn sample_app.app:app
# run with this drop-in replacement
uvicorn sample_app.app:app
As you can notice in code here, the only difference is an
import name, based on this VANILLA env var.
