Bottle framework and OOP, using a method instead of a function
I want to wrap my bottle.py routes into class, like this:
from bottle import *
import users
class Routes:
user = None
@root.route('/')
@view('index')
def index_page( self ): #index page display
self.user = users.User()
return {}
But I cannot do this because bottle is trying to get self as if it was a route variable.
The goal of this is to set a class-wide object user so I could make AJAX API calls and verify my user, like this:
@root.route('/api/login/')
def user_login( self ): #user login api
if self.user.authenticate( request.POST.get( 'username' ) , request.POST.get( 'password' ) ):
return True
return {'error': 'error'}
PS: I'm using signed cookies to authenticate user. This cookies contains non-critical information ( user's DB record id ) to manipulate this user's data.
Is there maybe a more convenient way to do this?
