It provides decorators and utility functions to protect routes, log users in and out, and access the current user's authentication state throughout your application.\n\nThe package integrates directly with Quart's initialization pattern and works with async route handlers. It stores session data in signed cookies, requiring only a secret key to be configured. You decorate routes with @login_required to enforce authentication, catch Unauthorized exceptions to redirect unauthenticated users, and use login_user() and logout_user() functions to manage sessions programmatically.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you are building a Quart application and need straightforward session-based authentication. The low install friction, permissive license, and support for current Python versions make it a reasonable choice. However, the 596-day gap since the last release signals dormancy; verify that the package meets your security and maintenance expectations before adopting it in a new project."},"id":"quart-auth","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/quart-auth","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/quart-auth.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/quart-auth/"},"maintenance":{"status":"dormant"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2024-12-26","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"quart-auth","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"A Quart extension to provide secure cookie authentication"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":103452,"position":12804,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.11.0"}
