I have custom token creating and decoding methods. Now everytime I get request I need to decode token to get request user or I get anonymous user. How can I decode it without repeating every time these lines?
auth = get_authorization_header(request).split()
if auth and len(auth) == 2:
token = auth[1].decode('utf-8')
id = decode_access_token(token)
You can create a middleware, where you decode the token and pass the info about the user to the class/function view
class SimpleMiddleware:
def __init__(self, get_response):
self.get_response = get_response
# One-time configuration and initialization.
def __call__(self, request):
# Code to be executed for each request before
# the view (and later middleware) are called.
auth = get_authorization_header(request).split()
user = None
if auth and len(auth) == 2:
token = auth[1].decode('utf-8')
id = decode_access_token(token)
user = ... # get user
response = self.get_response(request, user)
# Code to be executed for each request/response after
# the view is called.
return response
And in your view
@method_decorator(SimpleMiddleware, name='dispatch')
class SimpleView(View):
def post(self, request, user):
pass
