How can I use Flask-Security with Flask-Mail?

You can integrate Flask-Security with Flask-Mail to handle user authentication and email notifications. First, ensure you have both Flask-Security and Flask-Mail installed.

What are the steps to set it up?

1. Install Flask-Security and Flask-Mail. 2. Configure your Flask app with email settings. 3. Set up user models and security features. 4. Use Flask-Mail to send confirmation or reset password emails.

Can you show me a code example?

Sure! Here's a basic example:

from flask import Flask
from flask_security import Security, SQLAlchemyUserDatastore
from flask_mail import Mail, Message

app = Flask(__name__)
mail = Mail(app)

# Configure Flask-Mail
app.config['MAIL_SERVER'] = 'smtp.example.com'
app.config['MAIL_PORT'] = 587
app.config['MAIL_USE_TLS'] = True
app.config['MAIL_USERNAME'] = '[email protected]'
app.config['MAIL_PASSWORD'] = 'your_password'

# Initialize Flask-Security
security = Security(app, user_datastore)

What if I want to customize the email templates?

You can customize the email templates by creating your own HTML files and specifying their paths in the Flask-Mail configuration. Flask-Security allows you to override default templates.
