How can I implement password reset in Flask RESTful?

You can implement password reset in Flask RESTful by creating an endpoint that sends a reset link to the user's email.

What libraries do I need to use for sending emails?

You can use libraries like Flask-Mail or smtplib to send emails in your Flask application.

How do I generate a secure token for the password reset link?

You can use the itsdangerous library to generate a secure token that can be included in the reset link.

Can you show me a code example for the password reset endpoint?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

from flask import Flask, request, jsonify
from itsdangerous import URLSafeTimedSerializer

app = Flask(__name__)
app.config['SECRET_KEY'] = 'your_secret_key'

s = URLSafeTimedSerializer(app.config['SECRET_KEY'])

@app.route('/reset_password', methods=['POST'])
def reset_password():
    email = request.json.get('email')
    token = s.dumps(email, salt='password-reset-salt')
    # Send email with token
    return jsonify({'token': token})
