Swamp Dragon auth

Installation

pip install swampdragon-auth

Django settings.py file

Add the following code to your settings file:

SWAMP_DRAGON_CONNECTION = ('swampdragon_auth.socketconnection.HttpDataConnection', '/data')

Important note about deployment

If you are running your SwampDragon instances on a subdomain, you need to set

SESSION_COOKIE_DOMAIN = .yourdomain.tld

or the authentication won't be able to access the user.

To access a signed in user in your router:

self.connection.get_user()

or

self.connection.user

Token authentication (thanks to @silentninja)

  1. Add the following to the settings file:

SWAMP_DRAGON_CONNECTION = ('swampdragon.socketconnection.RemoteDataConnection', '/data')

  1. Add the TokenAuthMixin to your router:
from swampdragon_tokenauth.mixins import TokenAuthMixin
from swampdragon.route_handler import ModelRouter

TokenAuthMixin should come before the model router

class TodoItemRouter(TokenAuthMixin,ModelRouter):
    route_name = 'todo-item'
    serializer_class = TodoItemSerializer
    model = TodoItem
    permission_classes = [LoginRequired()]

    def get_object(self, **kwargs):
        return self.model.objects.get(pk=kwargs['id'])

    def get_query_set(self, **kwargs):
        return self.model.objects.filter(todo_list__id=kwargs['list_id'])    

Pass in the drf auth token as 'auth' argument when subscribing to a channel:

In angularjs:

$dragon.onReady(function() {
    $dragon.subscribe('todo-item', $scope.channel, {auth:"your_auth_token"}).then(function(response) {
        // code
    });
    })
