Explanation
This code defines a Flask blueprint named greetings
which handles two routes: /hello
and /goodbye
.
Blueprint Definition:
greetings = Blueprint('greetings', __name__)
creates a blueprint object namedgreetings
associated with the current module (__name__
). Blueprints provide a way to structure Flask applications into modular components.
Route Handlers:
@greetings.route('/hello')
defines a route handler for the/hello
endpoint.def hello():
defines the function that will be executed when the/hello
route is accessed.return 'Hello there!'
returns the greeting message “Hello there!” as a string.@greetings.route('/goodbye')
defines a route handler for the/goodbye
endpoint.def goodbye():
defines the function that will be executed when the/goodbye
route is accessed.return 'Goodbye!'
returns the goodbye message “Goodbye!” as a string.
Function Documentation:
- Each function (
hello
,goodbye
) includes docstrings that describe the function’s purpose and return type. These are helpful for documentation and code comprehension.
Usage:
This blueprint would be registered with a Flask app to make the routes accessible. Once registered, you could access the routes using URLs like /greetings/hello
and /greetings/goodbye
(assuming the blueprint is registered under the /greetings
URL prefix).
Key Points:
- This code demonstrates the use of Flask blueprints for organizing code and defining routes.
- Each route is associated with a specific function that handles the request.
- Docstrings are used to provide documentation for the functions.
- The blueprint would typically be registered with a Flask app to make the routes available.
