Usage

This library made in fastapi style, so it can be used as standard security features

from fastapi import FastAPI, Security
from fastapi_jwt import JwtAuthorizationCredentials, JwtAccessBearer


app = FastAPI()
access_security = JwtAccessBearer(secret_key="secret_key", auto_error=True)


@app.post("/auth")
def auth():
    subject = {"username": "username", "role": "user"}
    return {"access_token": access_security.create_access_token(subject=subject)}


@app.get("/users/me")
def read_current_user(
    credentials: JwtAuthorizationCredentials = Security(access_security),
):
    return {"username": credentials["username"], "role": credentials["role"]}

For more examples see usage docs

Alternatives

  • FastAPI docs suggest writing it manually, but

    • code duplication
    • opportunity for bugs

  • There is nice fastapi-jwt-auth, but

    • poorly supported
    • not “FastAPI-style” (not native functions parameters)

FastAPI Integration

There it is open and maintained to the fastapi repo. Currently, not considered.

Requirements

  • fastapi
  • python-jose[cryptography]
