I'm trying to migrate a legacy app that uses Flask-OAuth to authlib. The documentation of authlib is fairly decent, but what would be helpful is a migration guide, because I don't really know what parts of flask-oauthlib are similar to parts of authlib.

For example (and this is just one example): flask-oauthlib has a class called OAuth2RequestValidator under the providers package. I don't know if I can safely rip this or what part of authlib replaces this. Also the old code uses verify_request. What is the equivalent in authlib?Just a quick guide - old: used this. new: replace with (link to) this.

I have looked at the issue Flask-oauthlib or authlib in production? and the migrations in the udata project, but that project is very large and not that easy to follow. A basic flask-oauthlib example and just some comments about what classes replace, and where in the documentation would be very helpful to get people to adopt the new libraries.

    I appreciate it and I'm sure others will too. Not being an expert on Flask-Oauthlib, but in the migration I was doing I have noticed things that were done in Flask-OAuthlib that may or may not have a similar thing in authlib. Not sure where to post those questions. For example: token_handler. But there are many more. Thanks. Commented May 22, 2018 at 20:51
