Flask-Allows¶
Version 0.7.1 (Change log)
Flask-Allows gives you the ability to impose identity requirements on routes in your Flask application:
from flask import Flask
from flask_allows import Allows, Requirement
from flask_login import current_user
app = Flask(__name__)
allows = Allows(app=app, identity_loader=lambda: current_user)
class IsAdmin(Requirement):
def requires(self, user):
return user.permissions.get('admin')
@app.route('/admin')
@allows.requires(IsAdmin())
def admin_index():
return "Welcome to the super secret club"
Installation¶
Flask-Allows is available on pypi and installable with:
pip install flask-allows
Flask Allows supports 2.7, and 3.4+. Support for 3.3 was ended in the version 0.3 release.
Note
If you are installing flask-allows outside of a virtual environment,
consider installing it with pip install --user flask-allows rather
than using sudo or adminstrator privileges to avoid installing it into
your system Python.
