## 🚀 Deploy to Hugging Face Spaces (with Authentication)

### 1. Create Space
- Go to https://huggingface.co/new-space
- **Name**: invoice-ocr (or your choice)
- **SDK**: Docker
- **Visibility**: Private or Public (authentication works for both)
- Click "Create Space"

### 2. Clone and Add Files
```bash
git clone https://huggingface.co/spaces/YOUR_USERNAME/invoice-ocr
cd invoice-ocr
```

Copy all files to the cloned directory:
```bash
# Copy from your local development directory
cp Dockerfile requirements.txt app.py ocr_invoice.py cost_tracker.py auth.py allowed_users.txt ./
cp -r static/ ./
```

### 3. Configure User Whitelist

**Option A: Using allowed_users.txt file (Recommended)**

Edit `allowed_users.txt` and add authorized Hugging Face usernames (one per line):
```
johndoe
janedoe
companyuser1
```

**Option B: Using Environment Variable**

In Space settings → Variables & Secrets, add:
```
ALLOWED_USERS=johndoe,janedoe,companyuser1
```

### 4. Add Google Cloud Secrets

In Space settings → Variables & Secrets, add these as **Secrets**:

| Name | Value | Example |
|------|-------|---------|
| `PROJECT_ID` | Your GCP project ID | `836634225535` |
| `LOCATION` | Document AI location | `eu` |
| `PROCESSOR_ID` | Document AI processor ID | `696ca0c7b4383217` |
| `GEMINI_API_KEY` | Your Gemini API key | `AIza...` |
| `GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS` | **Full JSON content** from service account key | `{"type":"service_account","project_id":"..."}` |

⚠️ **Important**: For `GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS`, paste the **entire JSON file content** as the secret value, not the file path.

### 5. Deploy
```bash
git add .
git commit -m "Deploy invoice OCR with authentication"
git push
```

### 6. Enable Authentication (Critical Step)

After deployment, in your Space settings:

1. Go to **Settings** → **General**
2. Scroll to **Sign-in with Hugging Face**
3. **Enable** the toggle
4. Select **Restricted** (only whitelisted users can access)

This enables OAuth login before accessing your Space.

### 7. Test Access

1. Open your Space URL: `https://huggingface.co/spaces/YOUR_USERNAME/invoice-ocr`
2. You'll be prompted to sign in with Hugging Face
3. Only users in your whitelist can access the app
4. Unauthorized users see "Access Denied" page

---

## 🔒 Authentication Details

### How It Works

1. **Hugging Face OAuth**: Users must sign in with their HF account
2. **Whitelist Check**: `auth.py` checks username against allowed list
3. **Protected Endpoints**: Upload, invoice retrieval, stats require authentication
4. **Public Access**: Only the login page and static files are public

### Whitelist Format

**allowed_users.txt** (supports BOTH usernames AND emails):
```
# Hugging Face usernames (if you know them)
johndoe
janedoe

# OR email addresses (if you don't know usernames)
john@company.com
jane@company.com

# You can mix both!
```

**Environment Variables**:
```
# Option 1: Usernames
ALLOWED_USERS=johndoe,janedoe,companyuser1

# Option 2: Emails
ALLOWED_EMAILS=john@company.com,jane@company.com

# Or use both!
```

💡 **Don't know the username?** Just use their email address! The system checks both.

### Protected Endpoints

✅ `POST /upload` - Upload invoice  
✅ `GET /invoices` - List invoices  
✅ `GET /invoices/{id}` - Get invoice details  
✅ `GET /invoices/{id}/debug` - Debug data  
✅ `DELETE /invoices/{id}` - Delete invoice  
✅ `GET /stats` - Statistics  

❌ `GET /` - Public (serves login page)  
❌ `GET /static/*` - Public (CSS, JS, logo)

### Local Development

Authentication is **disabled** when running locally (not in HF Space):
```bash
python app.py  # No auth required on localhost:7860
```

To test authentication locally, set:
```bash
export SPACE_ID=test
export ALLOWED_USERS=your_hf_username
```
