Description:

flasksessiondecoder 0.1.0

flask-session-decoder
Zero-dependency Flask session decoder.
This is a small library without any dependencies. It works with close to default Flask session security configurations, but obviously does not provide the full cookie decoding and verification capabilities of flask / werkzeug / itsdangerous. If your project already depends on these libraries, use the official tooling instead.
Installation and Usage
You can install the library from PyPI with pip install flask-session-decoder.
Once installed, you can import and instantiate the decoder like this:
from flask_session_decoder import FlaskSessionDecoder

decoder = FlaskSessionDecoder(secret_key="the-secret-key-of-the-flask-app-that-created-the-cookie")

FlaskSessionDecoder provides three methods for cookie verification and loading:

decoder.load(cookie) returns the (by default verified) decoded string representation of the cookie.
decoder.json(cookie) returns the (by default verified) decoded cookie as a dict.
verify(cookie) returns whether the cookie signature is valid, without actually loading the value.

Development
Use black for code formatting and mypy for static code analysis.
