Docs: second improvement pass
- tutorial-auth: fix deprecated datetime.utcnow() → datetime.now(timezone.utc), add role-based access control section, add auth strategy comparison - tutorial-websockets: use WebSocketDisconnect instead of bare Exception, add connection lifecycle section, add rejected connection test example - tutorial-sqlalchemy: modernize to mapped_column() / Mapped[] (SQLAlchemy 2.0) - deployment: use uv in Docker example, fix stale uv.lock reference - quickstart: link to all tutorials in "next steps" - sandbox: rewrite with project layout, mypy, and pattern-matching test examples Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Role-Based Access Control
|
||||
--------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
For APIs where different users have different permissions, embed the
|
||||
role in the token and check it in route-specific guards::
|
||||
|
||||
def create_token(user_id: int, role: str = "user") -> str:
|
||||
payload = {
|
||||
"sub": user_id,
|
||||
"role": role,
|
||||
"exp": datetime.now(timezone.utc) + timedelta(hours=24),
|
||||
}
|
||||
return jwt.encode(payload, SECRET, algorithm="HS256")
|
||||
|
||||
Create a helper that checks for a specific role::
|
||||
|
||||
def require_role(*roles):
|
||||
"""Before-request hook factory that restricts by role."""
|
||||
def check(req, resp):
|
||||
user_role = getattr(req.state, "role", None)
|
||||
if user_role not in roles:
|
||||
resp.status_code = 403
|
||||
resp.media = {"error": "Insufficient permissions"}
|
||||
return check
|
||||
|
||||
Use it on specific routes::
|
||||
|
||||
@api.route("/admin/users", before_request=require_role("admin"))
|
||||
def list_all_users(req, resp):
|
||||
resp.media = {"users": [...]}
|
||||
|
||||
And store the role during token verification::
|
||||
|
||||
# In your auth_guard:
|
||||
req.state.user_id = payload["sub"]
|
||||
req.state.role = payload.get("role", "user")
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Choosing an Auth Strategy
|
||||
--------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
- **API keys** — simplest. Good for server-to-server, CLI tools, and
|
||||
internal services. No expiration unless you build it.
|
||||
- **JWT tokens** — standard for SPAs and mobile apps. Stateless, so
|
||||
they scale well. Downside: you can't revoke them without a blocklist.
|
||||
- **Sessions** — best for traditional web apps with HTML forms. The
|
||||
browser manages cookies automatically. Stateful — the server controls
|
||||
the session lifecycle.
|
||||
|
||||
Start with API keys for internal tools, JWT for public APIs, and
|
||||
sessions for web apps with login pages.
