write custom decorators in django to authenticate the user

[rohit.a...@gmail.com]

def authenticated(f):

def wrap(request, *args, **kwargs):

token = request.META.get('HTTP_AUTHORIZATION')

entry = Person.objects.get(pk=kwargs['entry_id'])

payload = jwt.decode(token, SECRET)

user = Person.objects.get(

username=payload.get('username'),

pk=payload.get('id'))

wrap.__doc__=f.__doc__

wrap.__name__=f.__name__

return wrap

But the request object that I get is class object of the view and not the regular request object

e.g if I do print (request) output is

<login.views.Test object at 0x7ff106d82a50>

where am I going wrong.

I am using jwt tokens

Can you post an example of how you are using the decorator? If you are using it on a dispatch/get/post ... method of a class based views, it will still get the instance (self) as a first parameter. So you should take also self as an argument to your inner wrap method.

Unrelated: Your wrap method never calls f, that is probably also something you would like to change.
