name: user-module description: myfy UserModule for authentication with email/password, OAuth, sessions, and JWT. Use when working with UserModule, BaseUser, OAuth providers, login, registration, password reset, email verification, or user authentication.

UserModule - User Authentication

UserModule provides complete user authentication with email/password, OAuth, sessions, and JWT tokens.

Quick Start

Copyfrom myfy.core import Application
from myfy.data import DataModule
from myfy.web import WebModule
from myfy.web.auth import AuthModule
from myfy.user import UserModule, BaseUser
from sqlalchemy.orm import Mapped, mapped_column
from sqlalchemy import String

# Extend BaseUser with custom fields
class User(BaseUser):
    __tablename__ = "users"
    phone: Mapped[str | None] = mapped_column(String(20))

# Create module
user_module = UserModule(
    user_model=User,
    oauth_providers=["google", "github"],
    auto_create_tables=True,
)

# Set up application
app = Application()
app.add_module(DataModule())
app.add_module(WebModule())
app.add_module(AuthModule(
    authenticated_provider=user_module.get_authenticated_provider(),
))
app.add_module(user_module)

Configuration

Environment variables use the MYFY_USER_ prefix:

OAuth Configuration

Copy# Google OAuth
MYFY_USER_OAUTH_GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID=your-client-id
MYFY_USER_OAUTH_GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET=your-secret

# GitHub OAuth
MYFY_USER_OAUTH_GITHUB_CLIENT_ID=your-client-id
MYFY_USER_OAUTH_GITHUB_CLIENT_SECRET=your-secret

Module Options

CopyUserModule(
    user_model=User,              # Custom user model (must extend BaseUser)
    oauth_providers=["google"],   # OAuth providers to enable
    auto_create_tables=True,      # Create tables on start
    enable_routes=True,           # Register auth routes
    enable_templates=True,        # Provide Jinja2 templates
)

Custom User Model

Copyfrom myfy.user import BaseUser
from sqlalchemy.orm import Mapped, mapped_column
from sqlalchemy import String, Boolean

class User(BaseUser):
    __tablename__ = "users"

    # Custom fields
    phone: Mapped[str | None] = mapped_column(String(20))
    is_admin: Mapped[bool] = mapped_column(Boolean, default=False)
    company_id: Mapped[int | None] = mapped_column(ForeignKey("companies.id"))

    # Relationships
    company: Mapped["Company"] = relationship(back_populates="users")

BaseUser provides:

• id: Primary key
• email: Unique email address
• password_hash: Hashed password
• is_active: Account active status
• is_verified: Email verified status
• created_at, updated_at: Timestamps

Protected Routes

Copyfrom myfy.web import route, Authenticated

@route.get("/profile")
async def profile(user: User) -> dict:
    # user is injected if authenticated
    # Returns 401 if not authenticated
    return {"email": user.email, "name": user.name}

@route.get("/admin")
async def admin_dashboard(user: User) -> dict:
    if not user.is_admin:
        abort(403, "Admin access required")
    return {"message": "Welcome, admin"}

Auth Routes

UserModule registers these routes by default:

Using UserService

Copyfrom myfy.user import UserService

@route.post("/users")
async def create_user(body: CreateUserRequest, user_service: UserService) -> dict:
    user = await user_service.create(
        email=body.email,
        password=body.password,
    )
    return {"id": user.id}

@route.get("/users/{user_id}")
async def get_user(user_id: int, user_service: UserService) -> dict:
    user = await user_service.get_by_id(user_id)
    if not user:
        abort(404, "User not found")
    return {"email": user.email}

Session vs JWT

Session-Based (Web)

Default for web routes. Session ID stored in cookie.

Copy@route.get("/dashboard")
async def dashboard(user: User) -> str:
    # Session cookie auto-validated
    return render_template("dashboard.html", user=user)

JWT-Based (API)

For API clients, use JWT tokens.

Copyfrom myfy.user import JWTService

@route.post("/api/login")
async def api_login(body: LoginRequest, jwt_service: JWTService, user_service: UserService) -> dict:
    user = await user_service.authenticate(body.email, body.password)
    if not user:
        abort(401, "Invalid credentials")
    token = jwt_service.create_token(user)
    return {"token": token}

Client sends token in header:

CopyAuthorization: Bearer <token>

OAuth Integration

Google OAuth

Copyuser_module = UserModule(
    user_model=User,
    oauth_providers=["google"],
)

Login link:

Copy<a href="/auth/google" class="btn">Login with Google</a>

GitHub OAuth

Copyuser_module = UserModule(
    user_model=User,
    oauth_providers=["github"],
)

Login link:

Copy<a href="/auth/github" class="btn">Login with GitHub</a>

Email Verification

Enable verification:

CopyMYFY_USER_REQUIRE_EMAIL_VERIFICATION=true

Users must verify email before full access. Verification link sent on registration.

Password Reset

1. User requests reset at /auth/forgot-password
2. Reset email sent with secure token
3. User clicks link to /auth/reset-password?token=...
4. User enters new password

Custom Templates

Override default templates by placing files in your templates directory:

Copyfrontend/templates/auth/
  login.html
  register.html
  forgot-password.html
  reset-password.html
  verify-email.html

Best Practices

1. Set a strong SECRET_KEY - Use a long random string
2. Enable email verification - For production apps
3. Use OAuth where possible - Reduces password management burden
4. Extend BaseUser - Don't modify it directly
5. Use sessions for web, JWT for API - Different use cases
6. Hash passwords - UserService handles this automatically
7. Rate limit auth routes - Prevent brute force attacks
