using Flask User with Flask Restful

Question

Guys I need to use Flask-RESTful API with Flask-User. The way of using flask restful is below

from flask import Flask
from flask_restful import Resource, Api
app = Flask(__name__)
api = Api(app)
class HelloWorld(Resource):
    def get(self):
        return {'hello': 'world'}
api.add_resource(HelloWorld, '/')
if __name__ == '__main__':
    app.run(debug=True)

whereas the way for using Role-based Authorization in Flask-User is below

from flask_user import roles_required
@route('/admin/dashboard')    # @route() must always be the outer-most decorator
@roles_required('Admin')
def admin_dashboard():
    # render the admin dashboard

Cleary flask restful doesn't involve decorators for routes above functions, instead it involves resources. And flask user provides role based authorization in the form of decorators above the same functions not present in flask. So how can I use such role-based-authorization of Flask User with Flask restful ?

Answer 1

Sorry for that, I just learned what decorator functions are and it seems that this can be achieved using

from flask import Flask
from flask_restful import Resource, Api
app = Flask(__name__)
api = Api(app)
class HelloWorld(Resource):
    @roles_required('Admin')
    def get(self):
        return {'hello': 'world'}
api.add_resource(HelloWorld, '/')
if __name__ == '__main__':
    app.run(debug=True)

That is simply pass the get and other methods into the decorators from Flask-User
