I want to make auth layer in flask app . I was using flask-jwt-extended for jwt auth so for that i have to mentioned @jwt_requied decorator for each protected route . so i dont want to do that for each protected route. I thought to define a function and make that to execute before each request by using @app.before_request. i want auth to happen in this layer.
def check_user_token():
if 'x-access-token' in request.headers:
token = request.headers['x-access-token']
if not token:
return jsonify({'message': 'Token is missing'}), 401
try:
data = jwt.decode(token, app.config['SECRET_KEY'])
current_user = UserDetails.query.filter_by(username=data['username']).first()
except:
return jsonify({'message': 'Token is in-valid'}), 401
return current_user
So this the function i want to call before each request to check auth.
@app.before_request
def before_calback():
#want to call that check_user_token() from here and
#also dont want to call that for 'login' route .
#Once i will get some response from check_user_token()
#based on that want to proceed further
#and here i dont know to do this.
Basically my qns is how to do authentication in @app.before_request def before_calback() ?
