Dead simple and stupid, built for Python3 to use flask, flask-login, pymongo to authenticate/register user and check if user is logged in
Created becasue I wanted to use flask to authenticate my user without forms while using mongodb. I wanted to be a standalone API service for my mobile app. This was very poorly documented online so had to create my own version. This will be updated the more I work on stuff.
Right now it authenticates based on username. This is an easy switch. In user_registration, replace in the login function user = app.mongo.db.user.find_one({"username": username}) with user = app.mongo.db.user.find_one({"email": email}) and make sure to pass in email and get the email from request.
#Register User
data = {"username": "myUser", "password":"myPass", "email": "d@d.com" }
post("http://127.0.0.1:5000/register", json=data).json()
If succsessful then the json responce will be { 'success' : true, 'userId': '734891274389012', 'responce': "User saved"}
#Login
login = {"username":"myUser", "password": "myPass"}
post("http://127.0.0.1:5000/login", json=login).json()
If succsessful then the json responce will be { 'success' : true, 'sessionId': '73333333334891274389012', 'responce': "User Logged In" }
Save the sessionId for later use in your headers.
#Check to see if you can authenticate
Use base64 encoding for the sessionId when passing it in your headers. Add that header to access anything that is @login_required.
headers={'Authorization': 'Basic ' + base64.b64encode(bytes('73333333334891274389012', 'utf-8')} get("http://127.0.0.1:5000/write", headers=headers )
__init__.py Contains the a stubbed out way of creating a index for searching mongoDB
Replace YOUR-SECRET-KEY in the __init__.py to whatever you want the secret to be.
Replace YOUR_DB_NAME in the __init__.py to whatever you want the secret to be.
