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
