Lightweight auth middleware for FastAPI that just works. Fits most auth workflows with only a few lines of code
We at Code Specialist love FastAPI for its simplicity and feature-richness. Though we were a bit staggered by the poor documentation and integration
of auth-concepts. That’s why we wrote a FastAPI Auth Middleware. It integrates seamlessly into FastAPI applications and requires minimum configuration. It is built
upon Starlette and thereby requires no dependencies you do not have included anyway.
Caution: This is a middleware to plug in existing authentication. Even though we offer some sample code, this package assumes you already have a way to generate and verify
whatever you use, to authenticate your users. In most of the usual cases this will be an access token or bearer. For instance as in OAuth2 or Open ID Connect.
