Flask shopify

Flask Shopify Extension to write shopify apps faster
Updated 7 months ago

Installation

pip install flask-shopify

Settings/Config

The API Key and shared secret should be set on the config of the app

SHOPIFY_SHARED_SECRET   = Your app's shared secret key with Shopify.
SHOPIFY_API_KEY         = Your app's API key.

Example usage

Setup the app

from flask_shopify import Shopify

app = Flask(__name__)
shopify = Shopify(app)

or, if you are using the factory pattern

from flask_shopify import Shopify

shopify = Shopify()

# ...
# when app is available

shoify.init_app(app)

Using shopify_login_required decorator

The decorator allows protecting handles with a shopify session.

Before you can use the decorator, ensure that a login view is configured. This is where fulfil will redirect the user is there is no login session yet.

# Set the login view if you plan on using shopify_login_required
# decorator
shopify.login_view = 'auth.login'

Using decorator

from flask_shopify import shopify_login_required

@shopify_login_required
@app.route('/product')
def product():
    product = shopify.Product.find(
        request.args['id']
    )

When using admin links

If you are using admin links, then shopify launches the url with the shop in the parameters. You can use the assert_shop decorator to ensure that the current shop the user is logged into is also the shop where the user clicked the admin link.

from flask_shopify import shopify_login_required, assert_shop

@shopify_login_required
@assert_shop
@app.route('/product')
def product():
    product = shopify.Product.find(
        request.args['id']
    )

Login, logout and oauth authentication

Built-in helpers achieve all of this.

Login

@app.route('/login')
def login():
    shop = request.args.get('shop')
    if shop:
        return shopify.install(
            shop,
            ['write_products'],
            url_for('.authenticate', _external=True)
        )
    return render_template('select-shop.html')

Authenticate after Oauth dance

@app.route('/authenticate')
def authenticate():
    shopify_session = shopify.authenticate()
    if shopify_session:
        return redirect(
            session.pop('next_url', url_for('.index'))
        )
    return "Login Failed"

Logout

@app.route('/logout')
def logout():
    shopify.logout()
    return redirect('home')
