AttributeError when identity is a dict

[ex5]

looking at the code, it seems like a dict identity should work, but it requires a small fix:

Addressed in #63 as well. This project has long been abandoned for a long time, that pr has been open for a year and a half. Perhaps check out flask-jwt-extended, it gives you more flexibility and is still maintained (full disclosure, I'm the author of that extension).

@vimalloc oh, forgot to look through the issues, sorry. I've actually checked flask-jwt-extended out first and had to go with this one because flask-jwt-extended enforces presence of jti and type keys, and that doesn't work with third party generated tokens that happen not to have them

[vimalloc]

That makes sense :) Perhaps check out pyjwt directly? The API is pretty simple, and you could rip the jwt_required decorator from this extension. Good luck either way.

yeah, using pyjwt directly makes more sense in this case

thanks! =]

In case you are still interested in this, or someone else stumbles upon this, let me introduce Flask-JWT-Simple (https://github.com/vimalloc/flask-jwt-simple). It is a toned down version of Flask-JWT-Extended with all the opinionated stuff needed for the extra features ripped out. This new extension allow you full control over claims when creating JWTs, and places no restrictions on what claims need to be in consumed JWTs.

If there are features missing from the simple variant of this extension that you would like to see, I would be more then happy to port them over. The two that I could see being helpful right off hand is JWT blacklisting and JWT claim verification.

Cheers.
