Authentication

Call get_user() at the top of the script to require login. It triggers a login prompt if the user is not authenticated and returns an object with a .email attribute.

from abstra.forms import run, MarkdownOutput, get_user

user = get_user()

run([[MarkdownOutput(f"Hello, {user.email}!")]])
info

During local development, any email can be used to bypass the login prompt.

Filtering by the logged-in user​

A common pattern is to fetch only the tasks or records that belong to the current user:

from abstra.forms import run, MarkdownOutput, get_user
from abstra.tasks import get_tasks

user = get_user()

all_pending_tasks = get_tasks()
my_pending_tasks = [t for t in all_pending_tasks if t["reviewer_email"].lower() == user.email.lower()]

if not my_pending_tasks:
    run([[MarkdownOutput(f"No pending items for {user.email}.")]])
    exit()
