Flask Session Cookie Decoder/Encoder

**Depencencies**

- Python 2 or Python 3
- [itsdangerous](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/itsdangerous)
- [Flask](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/Flask)

**Installation**

**BlackArch Linux**

```auto
# pacman -S flask-session-cookie-manager{3,2}

```

**Git**

**ArchLinux**  
Both python3 etn python2:

```auto
$ git clone https://github.com/noraj/flask-session-cookie-manager.git && cd flask-session-cookie-manager# makepkg -sic

```

**Other distros**  
Find your way with your package manager, use pip in a virtual environment or use [pyenv](https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv).  
Eg.

```auto
$ git clone https://github.com/noraj/flask-session-cookie-manager.git && cd flask-session-cookie-manager$ python -m venv venv$ source venv/bin/activate$ python setup.py install

```

**Usage**  
Use `flask_session_cookie_manager3.py` with Python 3 and `flask_session_cookie_manager2.py` with Python 2.

```auto
usage: flask_session_cookie_manager{2,3}.py [-h] {encode,decode} ...Flask Session Cookie Decoder/Encoderpositional arguments: {encode,decode} sub-command help encode encode decode decodeoptional arguments: -h, --help show this help message and exit

```

**Encode**

```auto
usage: flask_session_cookie_manager{2,3}.py encode [-h] -s <string> -t <string>optional arguments: -h, --help show this help message and exit -s <string>, --secret-key <string> Secret key -t <string>, --cookie-structure <string> Session cookie structure

```

**Decode**

```auto
usage: flask_session_cookie_manager.py decode [-h] [-s <string>] -c <string>optional arguments: -h, --help show this help message and exit -s <string>, --secret-key <string> Secret key -c <string>, --cookie-value <string> Session cookie value

```

**Examples**

**Encode**

```auto
$ python{2,3} flask_session_cookie_manager{2,3}.py encode -s '.{y]tR&sp&77RdO~u3@XAh#TalD@Oh~yOF_51H(QV};K|ghT^d' -t '{"number":"326410031505","username":"admin"}'eyJudW1iZXIiOnsiIGIiOiJNekkyTkRFd01ETXhOVEExIn0sInVzZXJuYW1lIjp7IiBiIjoiWVdSdGFXND0ifX0.DE2iRA.ig5KSlnmsDH4uhDpmsFRPupB5Vw

```

**Note** : the session cookie structure must be a valid python dictionary

**Decode**  
With secret key:

```auto
$ python{2,3} flask_session_cookie_manager{2,3}.py decode -c 'eyJudW1iZXIiOnsiIGIiOiJNekkyTkRFd01ETXhOVEExIn0sInVzZXJuYW1lIjp7IiBiIjoiWVdSdGFXND0ifX0.DE2iRA.ig5KSlnmsDH4uhDpmsFRPupB5Vw' -s '.{y]tR&sp&77RdO~u3@XAh#TalD@Oh~yOF_51H(QV};K|ghT^d'{u'username': 'admin', u'number': '326410031505'}

```

Without secret key (less pretty output):

```auto
$ python{2,3} flask_session_cookie_manager{2,3}.py decode -c 'eyJudW1iZXIiOnsiIGIiOiJNekkyTkRFd01ETXhOVEExIn0sInVzZXJuYW1lIjp7IiBiIjoiWVdSdGFXND0ifX0.DE2iRA.ig5KSlnmsDH4uhDpmsFRPupB5Vw'{"number":{" b":"MzI2NDEwMDMxNTA1"},"username":{" b":"YWRtaW4="}}

```
