[FIXED] I am getting a problem while understanding the UserMixin in Flask

Issue

I am currently learning flask and I have heard about the concept called UserMixin can anybody please tell what does it mean and how it works.

Solution

UserMixin is part of flask-login package that implements user authentication functionality. In order for flask-login to work, it expects your User object to have certain pre-defined methods, like get_id(), is_authenticated(), etc (you can see what these are in the docs here). Technically you don't have to use the mixin and implement these methods yourself, but extending from mixin is a nice shortcut.
