I want to modify is_active
in Flask-Login so that users are not always active.
The default always returns True
, but I changed it to return the value of the banned
column.
Based on the docs, is_active
should be a property. However, the internal Flask-Login code raises:
TypeError: 'bool' object is not callable
When trying to use is_active
.
How do I correctly use is_active
to deactivate some users?
class User(UserMixin, db.Model):
id = db.Column(db.Integer, primary_key=True)
banned = db.Column(db.Boolean, default=False)
@property
def is_active(self):
return self.banned
login_user(user, form.remember_me.data)
if not force and not user.is_active():
TypeError: 'bool' object is not callable
is_active
, is_anonymous
, and is_authenticated
are all properties as of Flask-Login 0.3. If you want to use them, treat them as attributes, don't call them. If you want to override them, remember to decorate them with @property
.
# change from
current_user.is_authenticated()
# to
current_user.is_authenticated
It appears you are reading the docs for the most recent version (0.3), but using an older version of the library. Version 0.3 contains a breaking change which changed these attributes from methods to properties. You should upgrade to the latest version of Flask-Login and treat them as properties.
You deactivate the user by causing its is_active
property to return False
. Your idea to return the value of a column is fine.
