I am trying to use Flask Blueprints, but it seems I can't access session object in the different Blueprints.
In an Authentication Blueprint I have the following function:
@authentication_bp.route("/login", methods=["POST"])
def login():
# Get information about user and try to find him
username = request.get_json().get("username")
password = request.get_json().get("password")
user = User.find_by_username(username)
# Validate user
if not user or not user.verify_password(password):
error_log.error("Login failed!")
return jsonify(success=False, message="Incorrect username or password!"), 403 # forbidden
# Update session
session["LOGGED_IN"] = True
session["USERNAME"] = username
info_log.info("%s logged in successfully." % username)
return jsonify(success=True)
So if the user successfully signs in, session should be updated.
The in main.py I have a checkLogin function:
@app.route("/checkLogin")
def check_login():
print(session.get("LOGGED_IN"))
# Check if there is a user logged in
if session.get("LOGGED_IN"):
return jsonify(logged_in=True)
return jsonify(logged_in=False)
I run check_login() right after login(). Login() function returns 'success' but after that print(session.get("LOGGED_IN")) prints None, rather than True.
Is this behaviour of Blueprints expected and how could I achieve what I want?
NOTE: I checked out Flask Blueprint Putting something on session but that didn't answer the question for me.
NOTE: I have imported session in both files and I have set the secret key for the Flask app.
