 ## Pre-requisites

 * Flask `pip install flask`
 * Flask-Login `pip install flask-login`

 ## Steps

 * Create your user model class: `User`. This would be a class that stores information about your User. Essentially the `user_name`, `user_id`, `email`, etc.
 * Create your user access class: `UserDAO (User Data Access Object)`. This is the wrapper around your user model that uses the `User` class and performs functions around it (signup, signin, validate, etc)
 * Initialize the flask app with `app=Flask(__name__)`
 * Set a secret key, Flask-Login uses sessions and sessions in Flask need a secret Key
 * Create an instance of `LoginManager` class `login_manager = LoginManager()`
 * Initialize the `LoginManager` with the app that was created `login_manager.init_app(app)`
 * In `User`, inherit the `UserMixin` from Flask-Login. `class User(UserMixin)`. Implement the required methods: `is_authenticated`, `is_active`, `is_anonymous` and `get_id`
 * Decorate a method with `@login_manager.user_loader` that returns the `User` object given the ID (the `UserDAO` would be where this method would be written)
 * In the login end point, once the app side validation is done, register the user into Flask-Login with the `login_user` method. The `login_user` method takes a `User` object. `login_user(UserDAO.get(user_name))`. This would register a session with that user
 * After that, any route that needs authentication can be decorated with `@login_required` and Flask-Login takes care of the rest
 * To logout, call the `logout_user()` method
 * To get the current user's ID the `current_user.get_id()` method can be used. If there is no one logged in, `current_user.get_id()` would return `None`

 **DONE.**
