Custom Validators

The Custom validators are useful when you want to change a particular behavior of an existing grant. That is often needed because of the diversity of the identity software and to let the oauthlib framework to be flexible as possible.

However, if you are looking into writing a custom grant type, please refer to the Custom Grant Type instead.

class oauthlib.oauth2.rfc6749.grant_types.base.ValidatorsContainer(post_auth, post_token, pre_auth, pre_token)[source]

Container object for holding custom validator callables to be invoked as part of the grant type validate_authorization_request() or validate_authorization_request() methods on the various grant types.

Authorization validators must be callables that take a request object and return a dict, which may contain items to be added to the request_info returned from the grant_type after validation.

Token validators must be callables that take a request object and return None.

Both authorization validators and token validators may raise OAuth2 exceptions if validation conditions fail.

Authorization validators added to pre_auth will be run BEFORE the standard validations (but after the critical ones that raise fatal errors) as part of validate_authorization_request()

Authorization validators added to post_auth will be run AFTER the standard validations as part of validate_authorization_request()

Token validators added to pre_token will be run BEFORE the standard validations as part of validate_token_request()

Token validators added to post_token will be run AFTER the standard validations as part of validate_token_request()

For example:

>>> def my_auth_validator(request):
...    return {'myval': True}
>>> auth_code_grant = AuthorizationCodeGrant(request_validator)
>>> auth_code_grant.custom_validators.pre_auth.append(my_auth_validator)
>>> def my_token_validator(request):
...     if not request.everything_okay:
...         raise errors.OAuth2Error("uh-oh")
>>> auth_code_grant.custom_validators.post_token.append(my_token_validator)
