Authentication

 Authentication

Efficient code often has the drawback of being very hard to understand at first. It's often very dense, with lots of things happening on a single line of code.


That's why teachers often teach what could be described as 'the long way round' when designing lessons on new topics.


With all that in mind, don't be mad at us when we say that there is an easier way to create a login system than by using sessions. You've spent the past few days getting a really thorough grounding in what's going on behind the scenes, which was the whole point. No, really. We promise.


Replit Authentication

Here at Replit, we know that you will probably be using authentication a lot. So we've baked in the feature for you.


đŸ‘‰ Run your code, then head over to your left hand files pane and scroll until you see authentication. Then, erm, turn it on. That's it.




Now you will see that your repl uses the default Replit login page.




I can also access a bunch of information about the user stored in the authentication panel.


đŸ‘‰ To do this I'm going to import request, and then use username = request.headers["X-Replit-User-Name"] to assign the username to a variable. I got the X-Replit-User-Name code from the authentication panel.


Here's the full code:


from flask import Flask, request


app = Flask(__name__)


@app.route('/')

def index():

  username = request.headers["X-Replit-User-Name"]

  return f"Hello {username}"


app.run(host='0.0.0.0', port=81)

FOR LOOP , RANGE

  FOR LOOP  A  while  loop is perfect to use when we  don't  know how many times we want the loop to repeat.  If we have an idea of how many times we want the loop to repeat, we can use a  for  loop to loop code in exactly the same way the  while  loop did.  EXAMPLE :  for counter in range(10):   print(counter) RANGE  The  range  function creates a list of numbers in the range you create. If you only give it one number, it will start at  0  and move to a state where the final number is  one less  than the number in the brackets. In this case, the final number would be  9 .  EXAMPLE :  total = 0 for number in range(100) :   total += number   print(total)

OS LIBRARY , TIME LIBRARY

  What is the os library? It allows us to "talk" to the console. One of the most powerful things we can do with this library is allow it to clear the console EXAMPLE: import os print("Welcome") print("to") print("Replit") os.system("clear") username = input("Username: ")  Time Library We can import a second library by placing a  ,  after the name of the first library. EXAMPLE: import os, time print("Welcome") print("to") print("Replit") time.sleep(10) os.system("clear") username = input("Username: ")  NOTE:  from replit import audio import os, time def play():   source = audio.play_file('audio.wav')   source.paused = False # unpause the playback   while True:     stop_playback = int(input("Press 2 anytime to stop playback and go back to the menu : ")) # giving the user the option to stop playback     if stop_playback == 2:       source.paused = True # let'...

ALL ABOUT WHILE LOOP

 WHILE LOOP  A  while  loop allows your code to repeat itself based on a condition you set.   EXAMPLE : counter = 0 while counter < 10:   print(counter)   counter +=1 Infinite Loop  You have to be  really  careful that you don't accidentally invoke an infinite loop! This is where the computer will loop code until the end of time. Without a break. Forever.  This is just saying "count to 10 by 1 each time." to make the loop end. Don't forget, if your  condition  is a  >  then you might need to  -= . This will subtract from the variable instead of adding to it.   EXAMPLE : counter = 0 while counter < 10:   print(counter)    counter += 1
