Dash-Auth-MultiPage

This repository serves as a template for anyone looking to create a multipage and/or authenticated Dash app. I personally dislike dash bootstrap components, so i am using dash-mantime-components for styling, and a custom css navbar. The app includes the following features:

• Multipage Structure: Easily set up multiple pages within your Dash app.

• User Authentication: Integrate custom user authentication to secure your app.

• URL Parameters: Create dynamic layouts using URL parameters.

• Custom Navbar: Custom navbar with multiple links and menu.

Authentication

This application includes a custom-built authentication system using JWT (JSON Web Token) and password hashing to manage user creation, login, and access control.

Key Features

1. Password Security:

   • Passwords are securely hashed using bcrypt before being stored, ensuring they are never saved in plain text.

2. JWT-Based Authentication:

   • Users receive a JWT token upon successful login, which is used to authenticate future requests. This token includes the user's email and name and expires after a set period.

3. User Data Storage:

   • User information, including hashed passwords, is stored in a users.json file.

How It Works

• User Registration:

  • Users can register by providing a name, email, and password. The password is hashed, and the user's data is stored. By default, all newly created users are automatically set as valid (is_valid: True).

• User Login:

  • During login, the system verifies the user's email and password. If successful, a JWT token is generated and returned to the user.

• Token Validation:

  • The system checks the validity of JWT tokens to ensure that only authenticated users can access protected routes.

Important Note

By default, when a user creates an account, they are automatically marked as valid (is_valid: True). If your application requires additional verification steps (e.g., email confirmation), you may want to modify this behavior. Set is_valid to False upon registration and implement a verification process where users must authenticate themselves (such as clicking a verification link) before their account is fully activated.
