This line of code calculates an expiration timestamp for a security token or session, typically used in authentication scenarios. Here’s what it does, step by step:
-
datetime.now(UTC)
:- This gets the current date and time in the
UTC
timezone.
- This gets the current date and time in the
-
.replace(tzinfo=None)
:- This removes the timezone information (making it a naive datetime object, i.e., not timezone-aware).
-
expires_delta or timedelta(minutes=SecurityConfig.ACCESS_TOKEN_EXPIRE_MINUTES)
:- This part determines the expiration duration. If
expires_delta
is provided (notNone
), it will use that. Otherwise, it will default to atimedelta
object representing minutes specified bySecurityConfig.ACCESS_TOKEN_EXPIRE_MINUTES
.
- This part determines the expiration duration. If
-
Adding the expiration duration:
- The code adds the determined
expires_delta
ortimedelta
(from step 3) to the current datetime (from step 1 and 2). This results in a datetime object representing when the token or session should expire.
- The code adds the determined
Summary:
The code calculates a token expiration time. It starts with the current UTC datetime without timezone info and adds a configurable expiration duration (expires_delta
, or a default defined by SecurityConfig.ACCESS_TOKEN_EXPIRE_MINUTES
). The resulting expire
variable holds the expiration timestamp as a naive datetime object.
