Getting User Information on the Backend

Here are some examples of using the get_user function in popular Python server environments. Note - this snippet assumes you have followed the steps to integrate login with your app as described here. 
from fastapi import Depends
from civic_auth.integrations.fastapi import create_auth_dependencies, create_auth_router

civic_auth_dep, get_current_user, require_auth = create_auth_dependencies(config)

@app.get("/admin/hello", dependencies=[Depends(require_auth)])
async def hello(user = Depends(get_current_user)):
    return f"hello {user.name}!"
