function document_workspace
Flask route handler that renders the main document workspace interface for authenticated users.
/tf/active/vicechatdev/vice_ai/complex_app.py
687 - 689
simple
Purpose
This function serves as the entry point to the document workspace application. It handles GET requests to the '/workspace' endpoint, verifies user authentication via the require_auth decorator, and renders the complex_workspace.html template with the current user's session data. This is typically the main interface where users interact with documents, perform RAG operations, and manage their workspace.
Source Code
def document_workspace():
"""Main document workspace"""
return render_template('complex_workspace.html', user=session['user'])
Return Value
Returns a rendered HTML template (complex_workspace.html) as a Flask Response object. The template is populated with the current user's information from the session dictionary, allowing the workspace to display user-specific content and personalization.
Dependencies
flask
Required Imports
from flask import render_template
from flask import session
Usage Example
# Assuming Flask app setup with authentication
from flask import Flask, session, render_template
app = Flask(__name__)
app.secret_key = 'your-secret-key'
# Custom auth decorator (simplified example)
def require_auth(f):
def wrapper(*args, **kwargs):
if 'user' not in session:
return redirect(url_for('login'))
return f(*args, **kwargs)
wrapper.__name__ = f.__name__
return wrapper
@app.route('/workspace')
@require_auth
def document_workspace():
return render_template('complex_workspace.html', user=session['user'])
# User would access this by navigating to: http://yourapp.com/workspace
# After successful authentication, session['user'] would contain user data
# The function automatically renders the workspace with user context
Best Practices
- Ensure the require_auth decorator is properly implemented to prevent unauthorized access
- Verify that session['user'] is populated with all necessary user data before rendering
- Handle cases where session['user'] might be missing or malformed to prevent KeyError exceptions
- Consider adding error handling for template rendering failures
- Implement proper session timeout and renewal mechanisms
- Use HTTPS in production to protect session cookies
- Consider adding CSRF protection for any forms in the workspace template
- Log access to this endpoint for security auditing purposes
- Ensure the complex_workspace.html template properly escapes user data to prevent XSS attacks
