I have set all configurations inside Configure class belonging to settings.py module
import os, secrets
basedir = os.path.abspath(os.path.dirname(__file__))
class Config():
SECRET_KEY = secrets.token_hex(16)
SQLALCHEMY_DATABASE_URI ='sqlite:///' + os.path.join(basedir, 'sqlitedb/data.sqlite')
SQLALCHEMY_TRACK_MODIFICATIONS = False
MAIL_SERVER = 'smtp.gmail.com'
MAIL_PORT = 587
MAIL_USE_TLS = True
...........
Which is initialized by main app.py
from flask import Flask
from MyProject.extensions import db, mail, bootstrap, migrate
**from MyProject.settings import Config**
from werkzeug.security import generate_password_hash, check_password_hash
def create_app():
app = Flask(__name__.split('.')[0])
app.url_map.strict_slashes = False
**app.config.from_object(Config)**
register_extensions(app)
register_blueprints(app)
return app
My task is to handover the SECRET_KEY value as an argument to the function which is inside other (mail.py) module
from itsdangerous import URLSafeTimedSerializer
from Myproject.app import mail
from Myproject import app
def send_congrats_email(user):
confirm_serializer = URLSafeTimedSerializer(app.config['SECRET_KEY'])
confirm_url = url_for(
'confirm_email',
token=confirm_serializer.dumps(user, salt='email-confirmation-salt'),
_external=True)
send_email('[Congrats] You are registered',
sender= "NICOLAS",
recipients=[user.email],
html_body=render_template('users/email_confirmation.html',
user=user))
Please, advice what is the right/proper way of doing this task?
Solution to such problem is the following:
from flask import current_app
and then modify:
confirm_serializer = URLSafeTimedSerializer(app.config['SECRET_KEY'])
to
confirm_serializer = URLSafeTimedSerializer(current_app.config['SECRET_KEY'])
