Flask-Classful
Flask-Classful is an extension that adds class-based views to Flask.
Class-based views are a way to encapsulate specific context and behavior for
routes and methods, complementing Flask's blueprints. They provide a more
powerful system than Flask's own MethodView.

This project is part of the Pallets Community Ecosystem. Pallets is the
organization that maintains Flask; Pallets-Eco enables community maintenance
of Flask extensions. If you are interested in helping maintain this project,

A Basic Example
This example defines a few routes by defining methods on a subclass of
flask_classful.FlaskView.
# example.py
import random
from flask import Flask, abort
from flask_classful import FlaskView
quotes = [
"A noble spirit embiggens the smallest man! ~ Jebediah Springfield",
"If there is a way to do it better... find it. ~ Thomas Edison",
"No one knows what he can do till he tries. ~ Publilius Syrus"
]
app = Flask(__name__)
class QuotesView(FlaskView):
def index(self):
return "<br>".join(quotes)
def get(self, id):
id = int(id)
if id < len(quotes):
return quotes[id]
abort(404)
def random(self):
return random.choice(quotes)
QuotesView.register(app)$ flask -A example run --debug
- http://127.0.0.1:5000/quotes/ shows all the quotes.
- http://127.0.0.1:5000/quotes/1/ shows a single quote.
- http://127.0.0.1:5000/quotes/random/ shows a random quote.
Forked from Flask-Classy
Note
This is a fork of Flask-Classy to continue development after it was not
