Assignments > Lab 8. Authentication Lab

Due on Fri, 05/20 @ 11:59PM. 5 Points.

The goal of today’s lab is to complete the login form (Part 3.1.1) of Homework 5.

Your Task

Before beginning the lab, please complete sections 1 & 2 (Introduction and Set Up) of HW05. When you’re done, please complete the following tasks to create a login form for UI:

1. HTML Form

• Create an HTML login form for your app (feel free to borrow code from the Lecture 15 files) by editing the templates/login.html html file. The form should POST to the /login endpoint.
• Ensure that the form is accessible by using the Wave Chrome extension.

2. Login Endpoint

Implement the /login POST endpoint by editing views/authentication.py.

• If the enpoint receives a valid username and password, it should set the JWT cookie in the response header and redirect the user to the home screen (/).
• If the /login POST endpoint does not receive a valid username and password, redisplay the form with an appropriate error message.
• When you’re done, your tests_updated/test_login.py tests should pass.

What to Turn In

To submit Lab 8, please upload a zip file that has three files in it:

• views/authentication.py
• templates/login.html
• app.py
