I'd also written an article on token authentication for django: https://www.spapas.net/2021/08/25/django-token-rest-auth/ using the REST Framework's TokenAuthentication.

This is simplest thing for most cases.

The session authentication that is proposed in the article is also great but has two problems:

* It will be hacky to implement for mobile apps (it should be possible but would not be something I'd like to do, I had tried in the past and remember that I needed to jump to a lot of hoops to "pick" that session cookie)

* The cookies can't be shared between different domains (cookies be shared the same domain or between a parent and child domain, i.e api.example.com can set/get cookies from .example.com).

So you can use the SessionAuthnentication if your frontend and backend share their domain and you know that your API won't ever be used for mobiles apps. On all other cases use TokenAuthentication.

I don't have experience with JWT Authentication, however I know it can be done and is used be various apps f.e baserow: https://gitlab.com/bramw/baserow/-/blob/develop/backend/src/...

Feel free to dig into https://gitlab.com/bramw/baserow repository, e.g. https://gitlab.com/bramw/baserow/-/blob/develop/backend/Dockerfile... There are docker compose files too.

Great idea! I've created an issue for it on the backlog https://gitlab.com/bramw/baserow/-/issues/1399.

Here is the full scoop on all new things: https://gitlab.com/bramw/baserow/-/releases/1.13.1.

Not using them personally, but I guess Barcode Buddy and Grocy Android both do exactly that (and more).

I suppose you could see how grocy handles barcodes, https://github.com/Forceu/barcodebuddy

You can additionally install barcode buddy on a raspberry pi with an attached bluetooth barcode scanner to track the chores, by just scanning a custom barcode. In my experience it's the easiest and fastest way, aside from dedicated buttons, which would cost too much.

See maybe there or here or also have a look at Barcode Buddy.

It looks like at least one provider (OpenFoodFacts) provides a language tag, but BarcodeBuddy isn't doing anything with it. I would suggest opening an issue with the feature request: https://github.com/Forceu/barcodebuddy/issues

At the moment Barcode Buddy Federation is probably the closest existing solution - if you are using Barcode Buddy and enable Federation, you can lookup barcodes and receive the Grocy product name that other users have associated with this barcode.

for anyone coming to this thread in order to find a solution. The problem was a bug in the barcode buddy grabinput script (see https://github.com/Forceu/barcodebuddy/issues/170) . After fixing this everythins works as it should.

yeah, a mqtt integration would be a dream. I opened a feature request for barcode buddy but the maintainer has no time at the moment see: https://github.com/Forceu/barcodebuddy/issues/164

That said, if you're using Barcode Buddy, it looks like it can auto-populate fields for scanned items?
