Flask login and connection-pooling stuff that I reuse in all my prototyping. The one-line goal of this project is to have drop-in login, however inflexible, rather than spending 6 hours setting it up every time.

This is only compatible with my postgres / redis stack and a similar DB users schema.

Will happily add docs if anyone else needs this, post a github issue to LMK.

Features

These things wouldn't normally belong together and are only bound together by the common themes of (1) me needing them every time (2) I haven't found a right-fit library to do any of them in flask (3) they're all difficult to integrate automatically without some schema / template / backend assumptions.

• flask blueprints for create-account and login pages
• and scrypt passwords
• and twilio login
• login-required decorator which populates flask.g.session
• graphene / graphql middleware login-required
• HSTS middleware
• postgres & redis initializer
• postgres connection pool context manager
• basic RBAC
• werkzeug remote IP
• in-memory and redis rate limiting
• email verification
• invitations & preapproval lists
• oauth
• add sample schema

What you should do to use this

• Look in config.py in this repo and make sure your SQL users table and environment variables conform to what this package expects.
• (You can customize the configs, but that's a waste)
• use flask.current_app.pool or pool.withcon, and flask.current_app.redis in your thing
• You have a base.htm template that defines styles, headers, etc

Consider also

These other flask login libraries that I haven't evaluated at all:

• https://github.com/mattupstate/flask-security
• https://github.com/lingthio/Flask-User
• https://github.com/maxcountryman/flask-login

There are a lot of these because schema integration is difficult.
