Stronghold
Get inside your stronghold and make all your Django views default login_required
Stronghold is a very small and easy to use django app that makes all your Django project default to require login for all of your views.
WARNING: still in development, so some of the DEFAULTS and such will be changing without notice.
Installation
Install via pip.
pip install django-stronghold
Add stronghold to your INSTALLED_APPS in your Django settings file
INSTALLED_APPS = (
#...
'stronghold',
)
Then add the stronghold middleware to your MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES in your Django settings file
MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES = (
#...
'stronghold.middleware.LoginRequiredMiddleware',
)
Usage
If you followed the installation instructions now all your views are defaulting to require a login. To make a view public again you can use the public decorator provided in stronghold.decorators
like so:
For function based views
from stronghold.decorators import public
@public
def someview(request):
# do some work
#...
For class based views (decorator)
from django.utils.decorators import method_decorator
from stronghold.decorators import public
class SomeView(View):
def get(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
# some view logic
#...
@method_decorator(public)
def dispatch(self, *args, **kwargs):
return super(SomeView, self).dispatch(*args, **kwargs)
For class based views (mixin)
from stronghold.views import StrongholdPublicMixin
class SomeView(StrongholdPublicMixin, View):
pass
Configuration (optional)
STRONGHOLD_DEFAULTS
Use Strongholds defaults in addition to your own settings.
Default:
STRONGHOLD_DEFAULTS = True
You can add a tuple of url regexes in your settings file with the STRONGHOLD_PUBLIC_URLS
setting. Any url that matches against these patterns will be made public without using the @public
decorator.
STRONGHOLD_PUBLIC_URLS
Default:
STRONGHOLD_PUBLIC_URLS = ()
If STRONGHOLD_DEFAULTS is True STRONGHOLD_PUBLIC_URLS contains:
(
r'^%s.+$' % settings.STATIC_URL,
r'^%s.+$' % settings.MEDIA_URL,
)
When settings.DEBUG = True. This is additive to your settings to support serving Static files and media files from the development server. It does not replace any settings you may have in STRONGHOLD_PUBLIC_URLS
.
Note: Public URL regexes are matched against HttpRequest.path_info.
STRONGHOLD_PUBLIC_NAMED_URLS
You can add a tuple of url names in your settings file with the STRONGHOLD_PUBLIC_NAMED_URLS
setting. Names in this setting will be reversed using django.core.urlresolvers.reverse
and any url matching the output of the reverse call will be made public without using the @public
decorator:
Default:
STRONGHOLD_PUBLIC_NAMED_URLS = ()
If STRONGHOLD_DEFAULTS is True additionally we search for django.contrib.auth
if it exists, we add the login and logout view names to STRONGHOLD_PUBLIC_NAMED_URLS
STRONGHOLD_USER_TEST_FUNC
Optionally, set STRONGHOLD_USER_TEST_FUNC to a callable to limit access to users that pass a custom test. The callback receives a User
object and should return True
if the user is authorized. This is equivalent to decorating a view with user_passes_test
.
Example:
STRONGHOLD_USER_TEST_FUNC = lambda user: user.is_staff
Default:
STRONGHOLD_USER_TEST_FUNC = lambda user: user.is_authenticated
