.. module:: flask
|
||||
|
||||
This part of the documentation covers all the interfaces of Flask. For
|
||||
parts where Flask depends on external libraries, we document the most
|
||||
important right here and provide links to the canonical documentation.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Application Object
|
||||
------------------
|
||||
|
||||
.. autoclass:: Flask
|
||||
:members:
|
||||
:inherited-members:
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Blueprint Objects
|
||||
-----------------
|
||||
|
||||
.. autoclass:: Blueprint
|
||||
:members:
|
||||
:inherited-members:
|
||||
|
||||
Incoming Request Data
|
||||
---------------------
|
||||
|
||||
.. autoclass:: Request
|
||||
:members:
|
||||
:inherited-members:
|
||||
:exclude-members: json_module
|
||||
|
||||
.. attribute:: request
|
||||
|
||||
To access incoming request data, you can use the global `request`
|
||||
object. Flask parses incoming request data for you and gives you
|
||||
access to it through that global object. Internally Flask makes
|
||||
sure that you always get the correct data for the active thread if you
|
||||
are in a multithreaded environment.
|
||||
|
||||
This is a proxy. See :ref:`notes-on-proxies` for more information.
|
||||
|
||||
The request object is an instance of a :class:`~flask.Request`.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Response Objects
|
||||
----------------
|
||||
|
||||
.. autoclass:: flask.Response
|
||||
:members:
|
||||
:inherited-members:
|
||||
:exclude-members: json_module
|
||||
|
||||
Sessions
|
||||
--------
|
||||
|
||||
If you have set :attr:`Flask.secret_key` (or configured it from
|
||||
:data:`SECRET_KEY`) you can use sessions in Flask applications. A session makes
|
||||
it possible to remember information from one request to another. The way Flask
|
||||
does this is by using a signed cookie. The user can look at the session
|
||||
contents, but can't modify it unless they know the secret key, so make sure to
|
||||
set that to something complex and unguessable.
|
||||
|
||||
To access the current session you can use the :class:`session` object:
|
||||
|
||||
.. class:: session
|
||||
|
||||
The session object works pretty much like an ordinary dict, with the
|
||||
difference that it keeps track of modifications.
|
||||
|
||||
This is a proxy. See :ref:`notes-on-proxies` for more information.
|
||||
|
||||
The following attributes are interesting:
|
||||
|
||||
.. attribute:: new
|
||||
|
||||
``True`` if the session is new, ``False`` otherwise.
|
||||
|
||||
.. attribute:: modified
|
||||
|
||||
``True`` if the session object detected a modification. Be advised
|
||||
that modifications on mutable structures are not picked up
|
||||
automatically, in that situation you have to explicitly set the
|
||||
attribute to ``True`` yourself. Here an example::
|
||||
|
||||
# this change is not picked up because a mutable object (here
|
||||
# a list) is changed.
|
||||
session['objects'].append(42)
|
||||
# so mark it as modified yourself
|
||||
session.modified = True
|
||||
|
||||
.. attribute:: permanent
|
||||
|
||||
If set to ``True`` the session lives for
|
||||
:attr:`~flask.Flask.permanent_session_lifetime` seconds. The
|
||||
default is 31 days. If set to ``False`` (which is the default) the
|
||||
session will be deleted when the user closes the browser.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Session Interface
|
||||
-----------------
|
||||
|
||||
.. versionadded:: 0.8
|
||||
|
||||
The session interface provides a simple way to replace the session
|
||||
implementation that Flask is using.
|
||||
|
||||
.. currentmodule:: flask.sessions
|
||||
|
||||
.. autoclass:: SessionInterface
|
||||
:members:
|
||||
|
||||
.. autoclass:: SecureCookieSessionInterface
|
||||
:members:
|
||||
|
||||
.. autoclass:: SecureCookieSession
|
||||
:members:
|
||||
|
||||
.. autoclass:: NullSession
|
||||
:members:
|
||||
|
||||
.. autoclass:: SessionMixin
|
||||
:members:
|
||||
|
||||
.. admonition:: Notice
|
||||
|
||||
The :data:`PERMANENT_SESSION_LIFETIME` config can be an integer or ``timedelta``.
|
||||
The :attr:`~flask.Flask.permanent_session_lifetime` attribute is always a
|
||||
``timedelta``.
|
||||
|
||||

Application Globals
|

-------------------
|
||||
|
||||
.. currentmodule:: flask
|
||||
|
||||
To share data that is valid for one request only from one function to
|
||||
another, a global variable is not good enough because it would break in
|
||||
threaded environments. Flask provides you with a special object that
|
||||
ensures it is only valid for the active request and that will return
|
||||
different values for each request. In a nutshell: it does the right
|
||||
thing, like it does for :class:`request` and :class:`session`.
|
||||
|
||||
.. data:: g
|
||||
|
||||
A namespace object that can store data during an
|
||||
:doc:`application context </appcontext>`. This is an instance of
|
||||
:attr:`Flask.app_ctx_globals_class`, which defaults to
|
||||
:class:`ctx._AppCtxGlobals`.
|
||||
|
||||
This is a good place to store resources during a request. For
|
||||
example, a ``before_request`` function could load a user object from
|
||||
a session id, then set ``g.user`` to be used in the view function.
|
||||
|
||||
This is a proxy. See :ref:`notes-on-proxies` for more information.
|
||||
|
||||
.. versionchanged:: 0.10
|
||||
Bound to the application context instead of the request context.

Useful Functions and Classes
|
||||
----------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
.. data:: current_app
|
||||
|
||||
A proxy to the application handling the current request. This is
|
||||
useful to access the application without needing to import it, or if
|
||||
it can't be imported, such as when using the application factory
|
||||
pattern or in blueprints and extensions.
|
||||
|
||||
This is only available when an
|
||||
:doc:`application context </appcontext>` is pushed. This happens
|
||||
automatically during requests and CLI commands. It can be controlled
|
||||
manually with :meth:`~flask.Flask.app_context`.
|
||||
|
||||
This is a proxy. See :ref:`notes-on-proxies` for more information.

JSON Support
|
||||
------------
|
||||
|
||||
.. module:: flask.json
|
||||
|
||||
Flask uses Python's built-in :mod:`json` module for handling JSON by
|
||||
default. The JSON implementation can be changed by assigning a different
|
||||
provider to :attr:`flask.Flask.json_provider_class` or
|
||||
:attr:`flask.Flask.json`. The functions provided by ``flask.json`` will
|
||||
use methods on ``app.json`` if an app context is active.
|
||||
|
||||
Jinja's ``|tojson`` filter is configured to use the app's JSON provider.
|
||||
The filter marks the output with ``|safe``. Use it to render data inside
|
||||
HTML ``<script>`` tags.
|
||||
|
||||
.. sourcecode:: html+jinja
|
||||
|
||||

Useful Internals

----------------
|

.. autoclass:: flask.ctx.RequestContext
|
||||
:members:
|
||||
|
||||
.. data:: flask.globals.request_ctx
|
||||
|
||||
The current :class:`~flask.ctx.RequestContext`. If a request context
|
||||
is not active, accessing attributes on this proxy will raise a
|
||||
``RuntimeError``.
|
||||
|
||||
This is an internal object that is essential to how Flask handles
|
||||
requests. Accessing this should not be needed in most cases. Most
|
||||
likely you want :data:`request` and :data:`session` instead.
|
||||
|
||||
.. autoclass:: flask.ctx.AppContext
|
||||
:members:
|
||||
|
||||
.. data:: flask.globals.app_ctx
|
||||
|
||||
The current :class:`~flask.ctx.AppContext`. If an app context is not
|
||||
active, accessing attributes on this proxy will raise a
|
||||
``RuntimeError``.
|
||||
|
||||
This is an internal object that is essential to how Flask handles
|
||||
requests. Accessing this should not be needed in most cases. Most
|
||||
likely you want :data:`current_app` and :data:`g` instead.

Signals
|
||||
-------
|
||||
|
||||
Signals are provided by the `Blinker`_ library. See :doc:`signals` for an introduction.
|
||||
|
||||
.. _blinker: https://blinker.readthedocs.io/
|
||||
|
||||
.. data:: template_rendered
|
||||
|
||||
This signal is sent when a template was successfully rendered. The
|
||||
signal is invoked with the instance of the template as `template`
|
||||
and the context as dictionary (named `context`).
|
||||
|
||||
Example subscriber::
|
||||
|
||||
def log_template_renders(sender, template, context, **extra):
|
||||
sender.logger.debug('Rendering template "%s" with context %s',
|
||||
template.name or 'string template',
|
||||
context)
|
||||
|
||||
from flask import template_rendered
|
||||
template_rendered.connect(log_template_renders, app)
|
||||
|
||||
.. data:: flask.before_render_template
|
||||
:noindex:
|
||||
|
||||
This signal is sent before template rendering process. The
|
||||
signal is invoked with the instance of the template as `template`
|
||||
and the context as dictionary (named `context`).
|
||||
|
||||
Example subscriber::
|
||||
|
||||
def log_template_renders(sender, template, context, **extra):
|
||||
sender.logger.debug('Rendering template "%s" with context %s',
|
||||
template.name or 'string template',
|
||||
context)
|
||||
|
||||
from flask import before_render_template
|
||||
before_render_template.connect(log_template_renders, app)
|
||||
|
||||
.. data:: request_started
|
||||
|
||||
This signal is sent when the request context is set up, before
|
||||
any request processing happens. Because the request context is already
|
||||
bound, the subscriber can access the request with the standard global
|
||||
proxies such as :class:`~flask.request`.
|
||||
|
||||
Example subscriber::
|
||||
|
||||
def log_request(sender, **extra):
|
||||
sender.logger.debug('Request context is set up')
|
||||
|
||||
from flask import request_started
|
||||
request_started.connect(log_request, app)
|
||||
|
||||
.. data:: request_finished
|
||||
|
||||
This signal is sent right before the response is sent to the client.
|
||||
It is passed the response to be sent named `response`.
|
||||
|
||||
Example subscriber::
|
||||
|
||||
def log_response(sender, response, **extra):
|
||||
sender.logger.debug('Request context is about to close down. '
|
||||
'Response: %s', response)
|
||||
|
||||
from flask import request_finished
|
||||
request_finished.connect(log_response, app)
|
||||
|
||||
.. data:: got_request_exception
|
||||
|
||||
This signal is sent when an unhandled exception happens during
|
||||
request processing, including when debugging. The exception is
|
||||
passed to the subscriber as ``exception``.
|
||||
|
||||
This signal is not sent for
|
||||
:exc:`~werkzeug.exceptions.HTTPException`, or other exceptions that
|
||||
have error handlers registered, unless the exception was raised from
|
||||
an error handler.
|
||||
|
||||
This example shows how to do some extra logging if a theoretical
|
||||
``SecurityException`` was raised:
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: python
|
||||
|
||||
from flask import got_request_exception
|
||||
|
||||
def log_security_exception(sender, exception, **extra):
|
||||
if not isinstance(exception, SecurityException):
|
||||
return
|
||||
|
||||
security_logger.exception(
|
||||
f"SecurityException at {request.url!r}",
|
||||
exc_info=exception,
|
||||
)
|
||||
|
||||
got_request_exception.connect(log_security_exception, app)
|
||||
|
||||
.. data:: request_tearing_down
|
||||
|
||||
This signal is sent when the request is tearing down. This is always
|
||||
called, even if an exception is caused. Currently functions listening
|
||||
to this signal are called after the regular teardown handlers, but this
|
||||
is not something you can rely on.
|
||||
|
||||
Example subscriber::
|
||||
|
||||
def close_db_connection(sender, **extra):
|
||||
session.close()
|
||||
|
||||
from flask import request_tearing_down
|
||||
request_tearing_down.connect(close_db_connection, app)
|
||||
|
||||
As of Flask 0.9, this will also be passed an `exc` keyword argument
|
||||
that has a reference to the exception that caused the teardown if
|
||||
there was one.
|
||||
|
||||
.. data:: appcontext_tearing_down
|
||||
|
||||
This signal is sent when the app context is tearing down. This is always
|
||||
called, even if an exception is caused. Currently functions listening
|
||||
to this signal are called after the regular teardown handlers, but this
|
||||
is not something you can rely on.
|
||||
|
||||
Example subscriber::
|
||||
|
||||
def close_db_connection(sender, **extra):
|
||||
session.close()
|
||||
|
||||
from flask import appcontext_tearing_down
|
||||
appcontext_tearing_down.connect(close_db_connection, app)
|
||||
|
||||
This will also be passed an `exc` keyword argument that has a reference
|
||||
to the exception that caused the teardown if there was one.
|
||||
|
||||
.. data:: appcontext_pushed
|
||||
|
||||
This signal is sent when an application context is pushed. The sender
|
||||
is the application. This is usually useful for unittests in order to
|
||||
temporarily hook in information. For instance it can be used to
|
||||
set a resource early onto the `g` object.
|
||||
|
||||
Example usage::
|
||||
|
||||
from contextlib import contextmanager
|
||||
from flask import appcontext_pushed
|
||||
|
||||
@contextmanager
|
||||
def user_set(app, user):
|
||||
def handler(sender, **kwargs):
|
||||
g.user = user
|
||||
with appcontext_pushed.connected_to(handler, app):
|
||||
yield
|
||||
|
||||
And in the testcode::
|
||||
|
||||
def test_user_me(self):
|
||||
with user_set(app, 'john'):
|
||||
c = app.test_client()
|
||||
resp = c.get('/users/me')
|
||||
assert resp.data == 'username=john'
|
||||
|
||||
.. versionadded:: 0.10
|
||||
|
||||
.. data:: appcontext_popped
|
||||
|
||||
This signal is sent when an application context is popped. The sender
|
||||
is the application. This usually falls in line with the
|
||||
:data:`appcontext_tearing_down` signal.
|
||||
|
||||
.. versionadded:: 0.10
|
||||
|
||||
.. data:: message_flashed
|
||||
|
||||
This signal is sent when the application is flashing a message. The
|
||||
messages is sent as `message` keyword argument and the category as
|
||||
`category`.
|
||||
|
||||
Example subscriber::
|
||||
|
||||
recorded = []
|
||||
def record(sender, message, category, **extra):
|
||||
recorded.append((message, category))
|
||||
|
||||
from flask import message_flashed
|
||||
message_flashed.connect(record, app)

URL Route Registrations
|
||||
-----------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Generally there are three ways to define rules for the routing system:
|
||||
|
||||
1. You can use the :meth:`flask.Flask.route` decorator.
|
||||
2. You can use the :meth:`flask.Flask.add_url_rule` function.
|
||||
3. You can directly access the underlying Werkzeug routing system
|
||||
which is exposed as :attr:`flask.Flask.url_map`.
|
||||
|
||||
Variable parts in the route can be specified with angular brackets
|
||||
(``/user/<username>``). By default a variable part in the URL accepts any
|
||||
string without a slash however a different converter can be specified as
|
||||
well by using ``<converter:name>``.
|
||||
|
||||
Variable parts are passed to the view function as keyword arguments.
|
||||
|
||||
The following converters are available:
|
||||
|
||||
=========== ===============================================
|
||||
`string` accepts any text without a slash (the default)
|
||||
`int` accepts integers
|
||||
`float` like `int` but for floating point values
|
||||
`path` like the default but also accepts slashes
|
||||
`any` matches one of the items provided
|
||||
`uuid` accepts UUID strings
|
||||
=========== ===============================================
|
||||
|
||||
Custom converters can be defined using :attr:`flask.Flask.url_map`.
|
||||
|
||||
Here are some examples::
|
||||
|
||||
@app.route('/')
|
||||
def index():
|
||||
pass
|
||||
|
||||
@app.route('/<username>')
|
||||
def show_user(username):
|
||||
pass
|
||||
|
||||
@app.route('/post/<int:post_id>')
|
||||
def show_post(post_id):
|
||||
pass
|
||||
|
||||
An important detail to keep in mind is how Flask deals with trailing
|
||||
slashes. The idea is to keep each URL unique so the following rules
|
||||
apply:
|
||||
|
||||
1. If a rule ends with a slash and is requested without a slash by the
|
||||
user, the user is automatically redirected to the same page with a
|
||||
trailing slash attached.
|
||||
2. If a rule does not end with a trailing slash and the user requests the
|
||||
page with a trailing slash, a 404 not found is raised.
|
||||
|
||||
This is consistent with how web servers deal with static files. This
|
||||
also makes it possible to use relative link targets safely.
|
||||
|
||||
You can also define multiple rules for the same function. They have to be
|
||||
unique however. Defaults can also be specified. Here for example is a
|
||||
definition for a URL that accepts an optional page::
|
||||
|
||||
@app.route('/users/', defaults={'page': 1})
|
||||
@app.route('/users/page/<int:page>')
|
||||
def show_users(page):
|
||||
pass
|
||||
|
||||
This specifies that ``/users/`` will be the URL for page one and
|
||||
``/users/page/N`` will be the URL for page ``N``.
|
||||
|
||||
If a URL contains a default value, it will be redirected to its simpler
|
||||
form with a 301 redirect. In the above example, ``/users/page/1`` will
|
||||
be redirected to ``/users/``. If your route handles ``GET`` and ``POST``
|
||||
requests, make sure the default route only handles ``GET``, as redirects
|
||||
can't preserve form data. ::
|
||||
|
||||
@app.route('/region/', defaults={'id': 1})
|
||||
@app.route('/region/<int:id>', methods=['GET', 'POST'])
|
||||
def region(id):
|
||||
pass
|
||||
|
||||
Here are the parameters that :meth:`~flask.Flask.route` and
|
||||
:meth:`~flask.Flask.add_url_rule` accept. The only difference is that
|
||||
with the route parameter the view function is defined with the decorator
|
||||
instead of the `view_func` parameter.
|
||||
|
||||
=============== ==========================================================
|
||||
`rule` the URL rule as string
|
||||
`endpoint` the endpoint for the registered URL rule. Flask itself
|
||||
assumes that the name of the view function is the name
|
||||
of the endpoint if not explicitly stated.
|
||||
`view_func` the function to call when serving a request to the
|
||||
provided endpoint. If this is not provided one can
|
||||
specify the function later by storing it in the
|
||||
:attr:`~flask.Flask.view_functions` dictionary with the
|
||||
endpoint as key.
|
||||
`defaults` A dictionary with defaults for this rule. See the
|
||||
example above for how defaults work.
|
||||
`subdomain` specifies the rule for the subdomain in case subdomain
|
||||
matching is in use. If not specified the default
|
||||
subdomain is assumed.
|
||||
`**options` the options to be forwarded to the underlying
|
||||
:class:`~werkzeug.routing.Rule` object. A change to
|
||||
Werkzeug is handling of method options. methods is a list
|
||||
of methods this rule should be limited to (``GET``, ``POST``
|
||||
etc.). By default a rule just listens for ``GET`` (and
|
||||
implicitly ``HEAD``). Starting with Flask 0.6, ``OPTIONS`` is
|
||||
implicitly added and handled by the standard request
|
||||
handling. They have to be specified as keyword arguments.
|
||||
=============== ==========================================================
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
View Function Options
|
||||
---------------------
|
||||
|
||||
For internal usage the view functions can have some attributes attached to
|
||||
customize behavior the view function would normally not have control over.
|
||||
The following attributes can be provided optionally to either override
|
||||
some defaults to :meth:`~flask.Flask.add_url_rule` or general behavior:
|
||||
|
||||
- `__name__`: The name of a function is by default used as endpoint. If
|
||||
endpoint is provided explicitly this value is used. Additionally this
|
||||
will be prefixed with the name of the blueprint by default which
|
||||
cannot be customized from the function itself.
|
||||
|
||||
- `methods`: If methods are not provided when the URL rule is added,
|
||||
Flask will look on the view function object itself if a `methods`
|
||||
attribute exists. If it does, it will pull the information for the
|
||||
methods from there.
|
||||
|
||||
- `provide_automatic_options`: if this attribute is set Flask will
|
||||
either force enable or disable the automatic implementation of the
|
||||
HTTP ``OPTIONS`` response. This can be useful when working with
|
||||
decorators that want to customize the ``OPTIONS`` response on a per-view
|
||||
basis.
|
||||
|
||||
- `required_methods`: if this attribute is set, Flask will always add
|
||||
these methods when registering a URL rule even if the methods were
|
||||
explicitly overridden in the ``route()`` call.
|
||||
|
||||
Full example::
|
||||
|
||||
def index():
|
||||
if request.method == 'OPTIONS':
|
||||
# custom options handling here
|
||||
...
|
||||
return 'Hello World!'
|
||||
index.provide_automatic_options = False

|
||||
The Application Context
|
||||
=======================
|
||||
|
||||
The application context keeps track of the application-level data during
|
||||
a request, CLI command, or other activity. Rather than passing the
|
||||
application around to each function, the :data:`current_app` and
|
||||
:data:`g` proxies are accessed instead.
|
||||
|
||||
This is similar to :doc:`/reqcontext`, which keeps track of
|
||||
request-level data during a request. A corresponding application context
|
||||
is pushed when a request context is pushed.
|
||||
|
||||
Purpose of the Context
|
||||
----------------------
|
||||
|
||||
The :class:`Flask` application object has attributes, such as
|
||||
:attr:`~Flask.config`, that are useful to access within views and
|
||||
:doc:`CLI commands </cli>`. However, importing the ``app`` instance
|
||||
within the modules in your project is prone to circular import issues.
|
||||
When using the :doc:`app factory pattern </patterns/appfactories>` or
|
||||
writing reusable :doc:`blueprints </blueprints>` or
|
||||
:doc:`extensions </extensions>` there won't be an ``app`` instance to
|
||||
import at all.
|
||||
|
||||
Flask solves this issue with the *application context*. Rather than
|
||||
referring to an ``app`` directly, you use the :data:`current_app`
|
||||
proxy, which points to the application handling the current activity.
|
||||
|
||||
Flask automatically *pushes* an application context when handling a
|
||||
request. View functions, error handlers, and other functions that run
|
||||
during a request will have access to :data:`current_app`.
|
||||
|
||||
Flask will also automatically push an app context when running CLI
|
||||
commands registered with :attr:`Flask.cli` using ``@app.cli.command()``.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Lifetime of the Context
|
||||
-----------------------
|
||||
|
||||
The application context is created and destroyed as necessary. When a
|
||||
Flask application begins handling a request, it pushes an application
|
||||
context and a :doc:`request context </reqcontext>`. When the request
|
||||
ends it pops the request context then the application context.
|
||||
Typically, an application context will have the same lifetime as a
|
||||
request.
|
||||
|
||||
See :doc:`/reqcontext` for more information about how the contexts work
|
||||
and the full life cycle of a request.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Manually Push a Context
|
||||
-----------------------
|
||||
|
||||
If you try to access :data:`current_app`, or anything that uses it,
|
||||
outside an application context, you'll get this error message:
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: pytb
|
||||
|
||||
RuntimeError: Working outside of application context.
|
||||
|
||||
This typically means that you attempted to use functionality that
|
||||
needed to interface with the current application object in some way.
|
||||
To solve this, set up an application context with app.app_context().
|
||||
|
||||
If you see that error while configuring your application, such as when
|
||||
initializing an extension, you can push a context manually since you
|
||||
have direct access to the ``app``. Use :meth:`~Flask.app_context` in a
|
||||
``with`` block, and everything that runs in the block will have access
|
||||
to :data:`current_app`. ::
|
||||
|
||||
def create_app():
|
||||
app = Flask(__name__)
|
||||
|
||||
with app.app_context():
|
||||
init_db()
|
||||
|
||||
return app
|
||||
|
||||
If you see that error somewhere else in your code not related to
|
||||
configuring the application, it most likely indicates that you should
|
||||
move that code into a view function or CLI command.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Storing Data
|
||||
------------
|
||||
|
||||
The application context is a good place to store common data during a
|
||||
request or CLI command. Flask provides the :data:`g object <g>` for this
|
||||
purpose. It is a simple namespace object that has the same lifetime as
|
||||
an application context.
|
||||
|
||||
.. note::
|
||||
The ``g`` name stands for "global", but that is referring to the
|
||||
data being global *within a context*. The data on ``g`` is lost
|
||||
after the context ends, and it is not an appropriate place to store
|
||||
data between requests. Use the :data:`session` or a database to
|
||||
store data across requests.
|
||||
|
||||
A common use for :data:`g` is to manage resources during a request.
|
||||
|
||||
1. ``get_X()`` creates resource ``X`` if it does not exist, caching it
|
||||
as ``g.X``.
|
||||
2. ``teardown_X()`` closes or otherwise deallocates the resource if it
|
||||
exists. It is registered as a :meth:`~Flask.teardown_appcontext`
|
||||
handler.
|
||||
|
||||
For example, you can manage a database connection using this pattern::
|
||||
|
||||
from flask import g
|
||||
|
||||
def get_db():
|
||||
if 'db' not in g:
|
||||
g.db = connect_to_database()
|
||||
|
||||
return g.db
|
||||
|
||||
@app.teardown_appcontext
|
||||
def teardown_db(exception):
|
||||
db = g.pop('db', None)
|
||||
|
||||
if db is not None:
|
||||
db.close()
|
||||
|
||||
During a request, every call to ``get_db()`` will return the same
|
||||
connection, and it will be closed automatically at the end of the
|
||||
request.
|
||||
|
||||
You can use :class:`~werkzeug.local.LocalProxy` to make a new context
|
||||
local from ``get_db()``::
|
||||
|
||||
from werkzeug.local import LocalProxy
|
||||
db = LocalProxy(get_db)
|
||||
|
||||
Accessing ``db`` will call ``get_db`` internally, in the same way that
|
||||
:data:`current_app` works.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Events and Signals
|
||||
------------------
|
||||
|
||||
The application will call functions registered with :meth:`~Flask.teardown_appcontext`
|
||||
when the application context is popped.
|
||||
|
||||
The following signals are sent: :data:`appcontext_pushed`,
|
||||
:data:`appcontext_tearing_down`, and :data:`appcontext_popped`.

Using ``async`` and ``await``
|
||||
=============================
|
||||
|
||||
.. versionadded:: 2.0
|
||||
|
||||
Routes, error handlers, before request, after request, and teardown
|
||||
functions can all be coroutine functions if Flask is installed with the
|
||||
``async`` extra (``pip install flask[async]``). This allows views to be
|
||||
defined with ``async def`` and use ``await``.
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: python
|
||||
|
||||
@app.route("/get-data")
|
||||
async def get_data():
|
||||
data = await async_db_query(...)
|
||||
return jsonify(data)
|
||||
|
||||
Pluggable class-based views also support handlers that are implemented as
|
||||
coroutines. This applies to the :meth:`~flask.views.View.dispatch_request`
|
||||
method in views that inherit from the :class:`flask.views.View` class, as
|
||||
well as all the HTTP method handlers in views that inherit from the
|
||||
:class:`flask.views.MethodView` class.
|
||||
|
||||
.. admonition:: Using ``async`` with greenlet
|
||||
|
||||
When using gevent or eventlet to serve an application or patch the
|
||||
runtime, greenlet>=1.0 is required. When using PyPy, PyPy>=7.3.7 is
|
||||
required.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Performance
|
||||
-----------
|
||||
|
||||
Async functions require an event loop to run. Flask, as a WSGI
|
||||
application, uses one worker to handle one request/response cycle.
|
||||
When a request comes in to an async view, Flask will start an event loop
|
||||
in a thread, run the view function there, then return the result.
|
||||
|
||||
Each request still ties up one worker, even for async views. The upside
|
||||
is that you can run async code within a view, for example to make
|
||||
multiple concurrent database queries, HTTP requests to an external API,
|
||||
etc. However, the number of requests your application can handle at one
|
||||
time will remain the same.
|
||||
|
||||
**Async is not inherently faster than sync code.** Async is beneficial
|
||||
when performing concurrent IO-bound tasks, but will probably not improve
|
||||
CPU-bound tasks. Traditional Flask views will still be appropriate for
|
||||
most use cases, but Flask's async support enables writing and using
|
||||
code that wasn't possible natively before.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Background tasks
|
||||
----------------
|
||||
|
||||
Async functions will run in an event loop until they complete, at
|
||||
which stage the event loop will stop. This means any additional
|
||||
spawned tasks that haven't completed when the async function completes
|
||||
will be cancelled. Therefore you cannot spawn background tasks, for
|
||||
example via ``asyncio.create_task``.
|
||||
|
||||
If you wish to use background tasks it is best to use a task queue to
|
||||
trigger background work, rather than spawn tasks in a view
|
||||
function. With that in mind you can spawn asyncio tasks by serving
|
||||
Flask with an ASGI server and utilising the asgiref WsgiToAsgi adapter
|
||||
as described in :doc:`deploying/asgi`. This works as the adapter creates
|
||||
an event loop that runs continually.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
When to use Quart instead
|
||||
-------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Flask's async support is less performant than async-first frameworks due
|
||||
to the way it is implemented. If you have a mainly async codebase it
|
||||
would make sense to consider `Quart`_. Quart is a reimplementation of
|
||||
Flask based on the `ASGI`_ standard instead of WSGI. This allows it to
|
||||
handle many concurrent requests, long running requests, and websockets
|
||||
without requiring multiple worker processes or threads.
|
||||
|
||||
It has also already been possible to run Flask with Gevent or Eventlet
|
||||
to get many of the benefits of async request handling. These libraries
|
||||
patch low-level Python functions to accomplish this, whereas ``async``/
|
||||
``await`` and ASGI use standard, modern Python capabilities. Deciding
|
||||
whether you should use Flask, Quart, or something else is ultimately up
|
||||
to understanding the specific needs of your project.
|
||||
|
||||
.. _Quart: https://github.com/pallets/quart
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Extensions
|
||||
----------
|
||||
|
||||
Flask extensions predating Flask's async support do not expect async views.
|
||||
If they provide decorators to add functionality to views, those will probably
|
||||
not work with async views because they will not await the function or be
|
||||
awaitable. Other functions they provide will not be awaitable either and
|
||||
will probably be blocking if called within an async view.
|
||||
|
||||
Extension authors can support async functions by utilising the
|
||||
:meth:`flask.Flask.ensure_sync` method. For example, if the extension
|
||||
provides a view function decorator add ``ensure_sync`` before calling
|
||||
the decorated function,
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: python
|
||||
|
||||
def extension(func):
|
||||
@wraps(func)
|
||||
def wrapper(*args, **kwargs):
|
||||
... # Extension logic
|
||||
return current_app.ensure_sync(func)(*args, **kwargs)
|
||||
|
||||
return wrapper
|
||||
|
||||
Check the changelog of the extension you want to use to see if they've
|
||||
implemented async support, or make a feature request or PR to them.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Other event loops
|
||||
-----------------
|
||||
|
||||
At the moment Flask only supports :mod:`asyncio`. It's possible to
|
||||
override :meth:`flask.Flask.ensure_sync` to change how async functions
|
||||
are wrapped to use a different library.

Modular Applications with Blueprints
|
||||
====================================
|
||||
|
||||
.. currentmodule:: flask
|
||||
|
||||
.. versionadded:: 0.7
|
||||
|
||||
Flask uses a concept of *blueprints* for making application components and
|
||||
supporting common patterns within an application or across applications.
|
||||
Blueprints can greatly simplify how large applications work and provide a
|
||||
central means for Flask extensions to register operations on applications.
|
||||
A :class:`Blueprint` object works similarly to a :class:`Flask`
|
||||
application object, but it is not actually an application. Rather it is a
|
||||
*blueprint* of how to construct or extend an application.
|
||||
|
||||
Why Blueprints?
|
||||
---------------
|
||||
|
||||
Blueprints in Flask are intended for these cases:
|
||||
|
||||
* Factor an application into a set of blueprints. This is ideal for
|
||||
larger applications; a project could instantiate an application object,
|
||||
initialize several extensions, and register a collection of blueprints.
|
||||
* Register a blueprint on an application at a URL prefix and/or subdomain.
|
||||
Parameters in the URL prefix/subdomain become common view arguments
|
||||
(with defaults) across all view functions in the blueprint.
|
||||
* Register a blueprint multiple times on an application with different URL
|
||||
rules.
|
||||
* Provide template filters, static files, templates, and other utilities
|
||||
through blueprints. A blueprint does not have to implement applications
|
||||
or view functions.
|
||||
* Register a blueprint on an application for any of these cases when
|
||||
initializing a Flask extension.
|
||||
|
||||
A blueprint in Flask is not a pluggable app because it is not actually an
|
||||
application -- it's a set of operations which can be registered on an
|
||||
application, even multiple times. Why not have multiple application
|
||||
objects? You can do that (see :doc:`/patterns/appdispatch`), but your
|
||||
applications will have separate configs and will be managed at the WSGI
|
||||
layer.
|
||||
|
||||
Blueprints instead provide separation at the Flask level, share
|
||||
application config, and can change an application object as necessary with
|
||||
being registered. The downside is that you cannot unregister a blueprint
|
||||
once an application was created without having to destroy the whole
|
||||
application object.
|
||||
|
||||
The Concept of Blueprints
|
||||
-------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
The basic concept of blueprints is that they record operations to execute
|
||||
when registered on an application. Flask associates view functions with
|
||||
blueprints when dispatching requests and generating URLs from one endpoint
|
||||
to another.
|
||||
|
||||
My First Blueprint
|
||||
------------------
|
||||
|
||||
This is what a very basic blueprint looks like. In this case we want to
|
||||
implement a blueprint that does simple rendering of static templates::
|
||||
|
||||
from flask import Blueprint, render_template, abort
|
||||
from jinja2 import TemplateNotFound
|
||||
|
||||
simple_page = Blueprint('simple_page', __name__,
|
||||
template_folder='templates')
|
||||
|
||||
@simple_page.route('/', defaults={'page': 'index'})
|
||||
@simple_page.route('/<page>')
|
||||
def show(page):
|
||||
try:
|
||||
return render_template(f'pages/{page}.html')
|
||||
except TemplateNotFound:
|
||||
abort(404)
|
||||
|
||||
When you bind a function with the help of the ``@simple_page.route``
|
||||
decorator, the blueprint will record the intention of registering the
|
||||
function ``show`` on the application when it's later registered.
|
||||
Additionally it will prefix the endpoint of the function with the
|
||||
name of the blueprint which was given to the :class:`Blueprint`
|
||||
constructor (in this case also ``simple_page``). The blueprint's name
|
||||
does not modify the URL, only the endpoint.
|
||||
|
||||
Registering Blueprints
|
||||
----------------------
|
||||
|
||||
So how do you register that blueprint? Like this::
|
||||
|
||||
from flask import Flask
|
||||
from yourapplication.simple_page import simple_page
|
||||
|
||||
app = Flask(__name__)
|
||||
app.register_blueprint(simple_page)
|
||||
|
||||
If you check the rules registered on the application, you will find
|
||||
these::
|
||||
|
||||
>>> app.url_map
|
||||
Map([<Rule '/static/<filename>' (HEAD, OPTIONS, GET) -> static>,
|
||||
<Rule '/<page>' (HEAD, OPTIONS, GET) -> simple_page.show>,
|
||||
<Rule '/' (HEAD, OPTIONS, GET) -> simple_page.show>])
|
||||
|
||||
The first one is obviously from the application itself for the static
|
||||
files. The other two are for the `show` function of the ``simple_page``
|
||||
blueprint. As you can see, they are also prefixed with the name of the
|
||||
blueprint and separated by a dot (``.``).
|
||||
|
||||
Blueprints however can also be mounted at different locations::
|
||||
|
||||
app.register_blueprint(simple_page, url_prefix='/pages')
|
||||
|
||||
And sure enough, these are the generated rules::
|
||||
|
||||
>>> app.url_map
|
||||
Map([<Rule '/static/<filename>' (HEAD, OPTIONS, GET) -> static>,
|
||||
<Rule '/pages/<page>' (HEAD, OPTIONS, GET) -> simple_page.show>,
|
||||
<Rule '/pages/' (HEAD, OPTIONS, GET) -> simple_page.show>])
|
||||
|
||||
On top of that you can register blueprints multiple times though not every
|
||||
blueprint might respond properly to that. In fact it depends on how the
|
||||
blueprint is implemented if it can be mounted more than once.
|
||||
|
||||
Nesting Blueprints
|
||||
------------------
|
||||
|
||||
It is possible to register a blueprint on another blueprint.
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: python
|
||||
|
||||
parent = Blueprint('parent', __name__, url_prefix='/parent')
|
||||
child = Blueprint('child', __name__, url_prefix='/child')
|
||||
parent.register_blueprint(child)
|
||||
app.register_blueprint(parent)
|
||||
|
||||
The child blueprint will gain the parent's name as a prefix to its
|
||||
name, and child URLs will be prefixed with the parent's URL prefix.
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: python
|
||||
|
||||
url_for('parent.child.create')
|
||||
/parent/child/create
|
||||
|
||||
In addition a child blueprint's will gain their parent's subdomain,
|
||||
with their subdomain as prefix if present i.e.
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: python
|
||||
|
||||
parent = Blueprint('parent', __name__, subdomain='parent')
|
||||
child = Blueprint('child', __name__, subdomain='child')
|
||||
parent.register_blueprint(child)
|
||||
app.register_blueprint(parent)
|
||||
|
||||
url_for('parent.child.create', _external=True)
|
||||
"child.parent.domain.tld"
|
||||
|
||||
Blueprint-specific before request functions, etc. registered with the
|
||||
parent will trigger for the child. If a child does not have an error
|
||||
handler that can handle a given exception, the parent's will be tried.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Blueprint Resources
|
||||
-------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Blueprints can provide resources as well. Sometimes you might want to
|
||||
introduce a blueprint only for the resources it provides.
|
||||
|
||||
Blueprint Resource Folder
|
||||
`````````````````````````
|
||||
|
||||
Like for regular applications, blueprints are considered to be contained
|
||||
in a folder. While multiple blueprints can originate from the same folder,
|
||||
it does not have to be the case and it's usually not recommended.
|
||||
|
||||
The folder is inferred from the second argument to :class:`Blueprint` which
|
||||
is usually `__name__`. This argument specifies what logical Python
|
||||
module or package corresponds to the blueprint. If it points to an actual
|
||||
Python package that package (which is a folder on the filesystem) is the
|
||||
resource folder. If it's a module, the package the module is contained in
|
||||
will be the resource folder. You can access the
|
||||
:attr:`Blueprint.root_path` property to see what the resource folder is::
|
||||
|
||||
>>> simple_page.root_path
|
||||
'/Users/username/TestProject/yourapplication'
|
||||
|
||||
To quickly open sources from this folder you can use the
|
||||
:meth:`~Blueprint.open_resource` function::
|
||||
|
||||
with simple_page.open_resource('static/style.css') as f:
|
||||
code = f.read()
|
||||
|
||||
Static Files
|
||||
````````````
|
||||
|
||||
A blueprint can expose a folder with static files by providing the path
|
||||
to the folder on the filesystem with the ``static_folder`` argument.
|
||||
It is either an absolute path or relative to the blueprint's location::
|
||||
|
||||
admin = Blueprint('admin', __name__, static_folder='static')
|
||||
|
||||
By default the rightmost part of the path is where it is exposed on the
|
||||
web. This can be changed with the ``static_url_path`` argument. Because the
|
||||
folder is called ``static`` here it will be available at the
|
||||
``url_prefix`` of the blueprint + ``/static``. If the blueprint
|
||||
has the prefix ``/admin``, the static URL will be ``/admin/static``.
|
||||
|
||||
The endpoint is named ``blueprint_name.static``. You can generate URLs
|
||||
to it with :func:`url_for` like you would with the static folder of the
|
||||
application::
|
||||
|
||||
url_for('admin.static', filename='style.css')
|
||||
|
||||
However, if the blueprint does not have a ``url_prefix``, it is not
|
||||
possible to access the blueprint's static folder. This is because the
|
||||
URL would be ``/static`` in this case, and the application's ``/static``
|
||||
route takes precedence. Unlike template folders, blueprint static
|
||||
folders are not searched if the file does not exist in the application
|
||||
static folder.
|
||||
|
||||
Templates
|
||||
`````````
|
||||
|
||||
If you want the blueprint to expose templates you can do that by providing
|
||||
the `template_folder` parameter to the :class:`Blueprint` constructor::
|
||||
|
||||
admin = Blueprint('admin', __name__, template_folder='templates')
|
||||
|
||||
For static files, the path can be absolute or relative to the blueprint
|
||||
resource folder.
|
||||
|
||||
The template folder is added to the search path of templates but with a lower
|
||||
priority than the actual application's template folder. That way you can
|
||||
easily override templates that a blueprint provides in the actual application.
|
||||
This also means that if you don't want a blueprint template to be accidentally
|
||||
overridden, make sure that no other blueprint or actual application template
|
||||
has the same relative path. When multiple blueprints provide the same relative
|
||||
template path the first blueprint registered takes precedence over the others.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
So if you have a blueprint in the folder ``yourapplication/admin`` and you
|
||||
want to render the template ``'admin/index.html'`` and you have provided
|
||||
``templates`` as a `template_folder` you will have to create a file like
|
||||
this: :file:`yourapplication/admin/templates/admin/index.html`. The reason
|
||||
for the extra ``admin`` folder is to avoid getting our template overridden
|
||||
by a template named ``index.html`` in the actual application template
|
||||
folder.
|
||||
|
||||
To further reiterate this: if you have a blueprint named ``admin`` and you
|
||||
want to render a template called :file:`index.html` which is specific to this
|
||||
blueprint, the best idea is to lay out your templates like this::
|
||||
|
||||
yourpackage/
|
||||
blueprints/
|
||||
admin/
|
||||
templates/
|
||||
admin/
|
||||
index.html
|
||||
__init__.py
|
||||
|
||||
And then when you want to render the template, use :file:`admin/index.html` as
|
||||
the name to look up the template by. If you encounter problems loading
|
||||
the correct templates enable the ``EXPLAIN_TEMPLATE_LOADING`` config
|
||||
variable which will instruct Flask to print out the steps it goes through
|
||||
to locate templates on every ``render_template`` call.
|
||||
|
||||
Building URLs
|
||||
-------------
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to link from one page to another you can use the
|
||||
:func:`url_for` function just like you normally would do just that you
|
||||
prefix the URL endpoint with the name of the blueprint and a dot (``.``)::
|
||||
|
||||
url_for('admin.index')
|
||||
|
||||
Additionally if you are in a view function of a blueprint or a rendered
|
||||
template and you want to link to another endpoint of the same blueprint,
|
||||
you can use relative redirects by prefixing the endpoint with a dot only::
|
||||
|
||||
url_for('.index')
|
||||
|
||||
This will link to ``admin.index`` for instance in case the current request
|
||||
was dispatched to any other admin blueprint endpoint.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Blueprint Error Handlers
|
||||
------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Blueprints support the ``errorhandler`` decorator just like the :class:`Flask`
|
||||
application object, so it is easy to make Blueprint-specific custom error
|
||||
pages.
|
||||
|
||||
Here is an example for a "404 Page Not Found" exception::
|
||||
|
||||
@simple_page.errorhandler(404)
|
||||
def page_not_found(e):
|
||||
return render_template('pages/404.html')
|
||||
|
||||
Most errorhandlers will simply work as expected; however, there is a caveat
|
||||
concerning handlers for 404 and 405 exceptions. These errorhandlers are only
|
||||
invoked from an appropriate ``raise`` statement or a call to ``abort`` in another
|
||||
of the blueprint's view functions; they are not invoked by, e.g., an invalid URL
|
||||
access. This is because the blueprint does not "own" a certain URL space, so
|
||||
the application instance has no way of knowing which blueprint error handler it
|
||||
should run if given an invalid URL. If you would like to execute different
|
||||
handling strategies for these errors based on URL prefixes, they may be defined
|
||||
at the application level using the ``request`` proxy object::
|
||||
|
||||
@app.errorhandler(404)
|
||||
@app.errorhandler(405)
|
||||
def _handle_api_error(ex):
|
||||
if request.path.startswith('/api/'):
|
||||
return jsonify(error=str(ex)), ex.code
|
||||
else:
|
||||
return ex
|
||||
|
||||
See :doc:`/errorhandling`.

Command Line Interface
|
||||
======================
|
||||
|
||||
Installing Flask installs the ``flask`` script, a `Click`_ command line
|
||||
interface, in your virtualenv. Executed from the terminal, this script gives
|
||||
access to built-in, extension, and application-defined commands. The ``--help``
|
||||
option will give more information about any commands and options.
|
||||
|
||||
.. _Click: https://click.palletsprojects.com/
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Application Discovery
|
||||
---------------------
|
||||
|
||||
The ``flask`` command is installed by Flask, not your application; it must be
|
||||
told where to find your application in order to use it. The ``--app``
|
||||
option is used to specify how to load the application.
|
||||
|
||||
While ``--app`` supports a variety of options for specifying your
|
||||
application, most use cases should be simple. Here are the typical values:
|
||||
|
||||
(nothing)
|
||||
The name "app" or "wsgi" is imported (as a ".py" file, or package),
|
||||
automatically detecting an app (``app`` or ``application``) or
|
||||
factory (``create_app`` or ``make_app``).
|
||||
|
||||
``--app hello``
|
||||
The given name is imported, automatically detecting an app (``app``
|
||||
or ``application``) or factory (``create_app`` or ``make_app``).
|
||||
|
||||
----
|
||||
|
||||
``--app`` has three parts: an optional path that sets the current working
|
||||
directory, a Python file or dotted import path, and an optional variable
|
||||
name of the instance or factory. If the name is a factory, it can optionally
|
||||
be followed by arguments in parentheses. The following values demonstrate these
|
||||
parts:
|
||||
|
||||
``--app src/hello``
|
||||
Sets the current working directory to ``src`` then imports ``hello``.
|
||||
|
||||
``--app hello.web``
|
||||
Imports the path ``hello.web``.
|
||||
|
||||
``--app hello:app2``
|
||||
Uses the ``app2`` Flask instance in ``hello``.
|
||||
|
||||
``--app 'hello:create_app("dev")'``
|
||||
The ``create_app`` factory in ``hello`` is called with the string ``'dev'``
|
||||
as the argument.
|
||||
|
||||
If ``--app`` is not set, the command will try to import "app" or
|
||||
"wsgi" (as a ".py" file, or package) and try to detect an application
|
||||
instance or factory.
|
||||
|
||||
Within the given import, the command looks for an application instance named
|
||||
``app`` or ``application``, then any application instance. If no instance is
|
||||
found, the command looks for a factory function named ``create_app`` or
|
||||
``make_app`` that returns an instance.
|
||||
|
||||
If parentheses follow the factory name, their contents are parsed as
|
||||
Python literals and passed as arguments and keyword arguments to the
|
||||
function. This means that strings must still be in quotes.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Run the Development Server
|
||||
--------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
The :func:`run <cli.run_command>` command will start the development server. It
|
||||
replaces the :meth:`Flask.run` method in most cases. ::
|
||||
|
||||
$ flask --app hello run
|
||||
* Serving Flask app "hello"
|
||||
* Running on http://127.0.0.1:5000/ (Press CTRL+C to quit)
|
||||
|
||||
.. warning:: Do not use this command to run your application in production.
|
||||
Only use the development server during development. The development server
|
||||
is provided for convenience, but is not designed to be particularly secure,
|
||||
stable, or efficient. See :doc:`/deploying/index` for how to run in production.
|
||||
|
||||
If another program is already using port 5000, you'll see
|
||||
``OSError: [Errno 98]`` or ``OSError: [WinError 10013]`` when the
|
||||
server tries to start. See :ref:`address-already-in-use` for how to
|
||||
handle that.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Debug Mode
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
|
||||
In debug mode, the ``flask run`` command will enable the interactive debugger and the
|
||||
reloader by default, and make errors easier to see and debug. To enable debug mode, use
|
||||
the ``--debug`` option.
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: console
|
||||
|
||||
$ flask --app hello run --debug
|
||||
* Serving Flask app "hello"
|
||||
* Debug mode: on
|
||||
* Running on http://127.0.0.1:5000/ (Press CTRL+C to quit)
|
||||
* Restarting with inotify reloader
|
||||
* Debugger is active!
|
||||
* Debugger PIN: 223-456-919
|
||||
|
||||
The ``--debug`` option can also be passed to the top level ``flask`` command to enable
|
||||
debug mode for any command. The following two ``run`` calls are equivalent.
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: console
|
||||
|
||||
$ flask --app hello --debug run
|
||||
$ flask --app hello run --debug
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Watch and Ignore Files with the Reloader
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
|
||||
When using debug mode, the reloader will trigger whenever your Python code or imported
|
||||
modules change. The reloader can watch additional files with the ``--extra-files``
|
||||
option. Multiple paths are separated with ``:``, or ``;`` on Windows.
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: text
|
||||
|
||||
$ flask run --extra-files file1:dirA/file2:dirB/
|
||||
* Running on http://127.0.0.1:8000/
|
||||
* Detected change in '/path/to/file1', reloading
|
||||
|
||||
The reloader can also ignore files using :mod:`fnmatch` patterns with the
|
||||
``--exclude-patterns`` option. Multiple patterns are separated with ``:``, or ``;`` on
|
||||
Windows.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Open a Shell
|
||||
------------
|
||||
|
||||
To explore the data in your application, you can start an interactive Python
|
||||
shell with the :func:`shell <cli.shell_command>` command. An application
|
||||
context will be active, and the app instance will be imported. ::
|
||||
|
||||
$ flask shell
|
||||
Python 3.10.0 (default, Oct 27 2021, 06:59:51) [GCC 11.1.0] on linux
|
||||
App: example [production]
|
||||
Instance: /home/david/Projects/pallets/flask/instance
|
||||
>>>
|
||||
|
||||
Use :meth:`~Flask.shell_context_processor` to add other automatic imports.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
.. _dotenv:
|
||||
|
||||
Environment Variables From dotenv
|
||||
---------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
The ``flask`` command supports setting any option for any command with
|
||||
environment variables. The variables are named like ``FLASK_OPTION`` or
|
||||
``FLASK_COMMAND_OPTION``, for example ``FLASK_APP`` or
|
||||
``FLASK_RUN_PORT``.
|
||||
|
||||
Rather than passing options every time you run a command, or environment
|
||||
variables every time you open a new terminal, you can use Flask's dotenv
|
||||
support to set environment variables automatically.
|
||||
|
||||
If `python-dotenv`_ is installed, running the ``flask`` command will set
|
||||
environment variables defined in the files ``.env`` and ``.flaskenv``.
|
||||
You can also specify an extra file to load with the ``--env-file``
|
||||
option. Dotenv files can be used to avoid having to set ``--app`` or
|
||||
``FLASK_APP`` manually, and to set configuration using environment
|
||||
variables similar to how some deployment services work.
|
||||
|
||||
Variables set on the command line are used over those set in :file:`.env`,
|
||||
which are used over those set in :file:`.flaskenv`. :file:`.flaskenv` should be
|
||||
used for public variables, such as ``FLASK_APP``, while :file:`.env` should not
|
||||
be committed to your repository so that it can set private variables.
|
||||
|
||||
Directories are scanned upwards from the directory you call ``flask``
|
||||
from to locate the files.
|
||||
|
||||
The files are only loaded by the ``flask`` command or calling
|
||||
:meth:`~Flask.run`. If you would like to load these files when running in
|
||||
production, you should call :func:`~cli.load_dotenv` manually.
|
||||
|
||||
.. _python-dotenv: https://github.com/theskumar/python-dotenv#readme
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Setting Command Options
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
|
||||
Click is configured to load default values for command options from
|
||||
environment variables. The variables use the pattern
|
||||
``FLASK_COMMAND_OPTION``. For example, to set the port for the run
|
||||
command, instead of ``flask run --port 8000``:
|
||||
|
||||
.. tabs::
|
||||
|
||||
.. group-tab:: Bash
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: text
|
||||
|
||||
$ export FLASK_RUN_PORT=8000
|
||||
$ flask run
|
||||
* Running on http://127.0.0.1:8000/
|
||||
|
||||
.. group-tab:: Fish
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: text
|
||||
|
||||
$ set -x FLASK_RUN_PORT 8000
|
||||
$ flask run
|
||||
* Running on http://127.0.0.1:8000/
|
||||
|
||||
.. group-tab:: CMD
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: text
|
||||
|
||||
> set FLASK_RUN_PORT=8000
|
||||
> flask run
|
||||
* Running on http://127.0.0.1:8000/
|
||||
|
||||
.. group-tab:: Powershell
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: text
|
||||
|
||||
> $env:FLASK_RUN_PORT = 8000
|
||||
> flask run
|
||||
* Running on http://127.0.0.1:8000/
|
||||
|
||||
These can be added to the ``.flaskenv`` file just like ``FLASK_APP`` to
|
||||
control default command options.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Disable dotenv
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
|
||||
The ``flask`` command will show a message if it detects dotenv files but
|
||||
python-dotenv is not installed.
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: bash
|
||||
|
||||
$ flask run
|
||||
* Tip: There are .env files present. Do "pip install python-dotenv" to use them.
|
||||
|
||||
You can tell Flask not to load dotenv files even when python-dotenv is
|
||||
installed by setting the ``FLASK_SKIP_DOTENV`` environment variable.
|
||||
This can be useful if you want to load them manually, or if you're using
|
||||
a project runner that loads them already. Keep in mind that the
|
||||
environment variables must be set before the app loads or it won't
|
||||
configure as expected.
|
||||
|
||||
.. tabs::
|
||||
|
||||
.. group-tab:: Bash
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: text
|
||||
|
||||
$ export FLASK_SKIP_DOTENV=1
|
||||
$ flask run
|
||||
|
||||
.. group-tab:: Fish
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: text
|
||||
|
||||
$ set -x FLASK_SKIP_DOTENV 1
|
||||
$ flask run
|
||||
|
||||
.. group-tab:: CMD
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: text
|
||||
|
||||
> set FLASK_SKIP_DOTENV=1
|
||||
> flask run
|
||||
|
||||
.. group-tab:: Powershell
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: text
|
||||
|
||||
> $env:FLASK_SKIP_DOTENV = 1
|
||||
> flask run
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Environment Variables From virtualenv
|
||||
-------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
If you do not want to install dotenv support, you can still set environment
|
||||
variables by adding them to the end of the virtualenv's :file:`activate`
|
||||
script. Activating the virtualenv will set the variables.
|
||||
|
||||
.. tabs::
|
||||
|
||||
.. group-tab:: Bash
|
||||
|
||||
Unix Bash, :file:`.venv/bin/activate`::
|
||||
|
||||
$ export FLASK_APP=hello
|
||||
|
||||
.. group-tab:: Fish
|
||||
|
||||
Fish, :file:`.venv/bin/activate.fish`::
|
||||
|
||||
$ set -x FLASK_APP hello
|
||||
|
||||
.. group-tab:: CMD
|
||||
|
||||
Windows CMD, :file:`.venv\\Scripts\\activate.bat`::
|
||||
|
||||
> set FLASK_APP=hello
|
||||
|
||||
.. group-tab:: Powershell
|
||||
|
||||
Windows Powershell, :file:`.venv\\Scripts\\activate.ps1`::
|
||||
|
||||
> $env:FLASK_APP = "hello"
|
||||
|
||||
It is preferred to use dotenv support over this, since :file:`.flaskenv` can be
|
||||
committed to the repository so that it works automatically wherever the project
|
||||
is checked out.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Custom Commands
|
||||
---------------
|
||||
|
||||
The ``flask`` command is implemented using `Click`_. See that project's
|
||||
documentation for full information about writing commands.
|
||||
|
||||
This example adds the command ``create-user`` that takes the argument
|
||||
``name``. ::
|
||||
|
||||
import click
|
||||
from flask import Flask
|
||||
|
||||
app = Flask(__name__)
|
||||
|
||||
@app.cli.command("create-user")
|
||||
@click.argument("name")
|
||||
def create_user(name):
|
||||
...
|
||||
|
||||
::
|
||||
|
||||
$ flask create-user admin
|
||||
|
||||
This example adds the same command, but as ``user create``, a command in a
|
||||
group. This is useful if you want to organize multiple related commands. ::
|
||||
|
||||
import click
|
||||
from flask import Flask
|
||||
from flask.cli import AppGroup
|
||||
|
||||
app = Flask(__name__)
|
||||
user_cli = AppGroup('user')
|
||||
|
||||
@user_cli.command('create')
|
||||
@click.argument('name')
|
||||
def create_user(name):
|
||||
...
|
||||
|
||||
app.cli.add_command(user_cli)
|
||||
|
||||
::
|
||||
|
||||
$ flask user create demo
|
||||
|
||||
See :ref:`testing-cli` for an overview of how to test your custom
|
||||
commands.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Registering Commands with Blueprints
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
|
||||
If your application uses blueprints, you can optionally register CLI
|
||||
commands directly onto them. When your blueprint is registered onto your
|
||||
application, the associated commands will be available to the ``flask``
|
||||
command. By default, those commands will be nested in a group matching
|
||||
the name of the blueprint.
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: python
|
||||
|
||||
from flask import Blueprint
|
||||
|
||||
bp = Blueprint('students', __name__)
|
||||
|
||||
@bp.cli.command('create')
|
||||
@click.argument('name')
|
||||
def create(name):
|
||||
...
|
||||
|
||||
app.register_blueprint(bp)
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: text
|
||||
|
||||
$ flask students create alice
|
||||
|
||||
You can alter the group name by specifying the ``cli_group`` parameter
|
||||
when creating the :class:`Blueprint` object, or later with
|
||||
:meth:`app.register_blueprint(bp, cli_group='...') <Flask.register_blueprint>`.
|
||||
The following are equivalent:
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: python
|
||||
|
||||
bp = Blueprint('students', __name__, cli_group='other')
|
||||
# or
|
||||
app.register_blueprint(bp, cli_group='other')
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: text
|
||||
|
||||
$ flask other create alice
|
||||
|
||||
Specifying ``cli_group=None`` will remove the nesting and merge the
|
||||
commands directly to the application's level:
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: python
|
||||
|
||||
bp = Blueprint('students', __name__, cli_group=None)
|
||||
# or
|
||||
app.register_blueprint(bp, cli_group=None)
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: text
|
||||
|
||||
$ flask create alice
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Application Context
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
|
||||
Commands added using the Flask app's :attr:`~Flask.cli` or
|
||||
:class:`~flask.cli.FlaskGroup` :meth:`~cli.AppGroup.command` decorator
|
||||
will be executed with an application context pushed, so your custom
|
||||
commands and parameters have access to the app and its configuration. The
|
||||
:func:`~cli.with_appcontext` decorator can be used to get the same
|
||||
behavior, but is not needed in most cases.
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: python
|
||||
|
||||
import click
|
||||
from flask.cli import with_appcontext
|
||||
|
||||
@click.command()
|
||||
@with_appcontext
|
||||
def do_work():
|
||||
...
|
||||
|
||||
app.cli.add_command(do_work)
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Plugins
|
||||
-------
|
||||
|
||||
Flask will automatically load commands specified in the ``flask.commands``
|
||||
`entry point`_. This is useful for extensions that want to add commands when
|
||||
they are installed. Entry points are specified in :file:`pyproject.toml`:
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: toml
|
||||
|
||||
[project.entry-points."flask.commands"]
|
||||
my-command = "my_extension.commands:cli"
|
||||
|
||||
.. _entry point: https://packaging.python.org/tutorials/packaging-projects/#entry-points
|
||||
|
||||
Inside :file:`my_extension/commands.py` you can then export a Click
|
||||
object::
|
||||
|
||||
import click
|
||||
|
||||
@click.command()
|
||||
def cli():
|
||||
...
|
||||
|
||||
Once that package is installed in the same virtualenv as your Flask project,
|
||||
you can run ``flask my-command`` to invoke the command.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
.. _custom-scripts:
|
||||
|
||||
Custom Scripts
|
||||
--------------
|
||||
|
||||
When you are using the app factory pattern, it may be more convenient to define
|
||||
your own Click script. Instead of using ``--app`` and letting Flask load
|
||||
your application, you can create your own Click object and export it as a
|
||||
`console script`_ entry point.
|
||||
|
||||
Create an instance of :class:`~cli.FlaskGroup` and pass it the factory::
|
||||
|
||||
import click
|
||||
from flask import Flask
|
||||
from flask.cli import FlaskGroup
|
||||
|
||||
def create_app():
|
||||
app = Flask('wiki')
|
||||
# other setup
|
||||
return app
|
||||
|
||||
@click.group(cls=FlaskGroup, create_app=create_app)
|
||||
def cli():
|
||||
"""Management script for the Wiki application."""
|
||||
|
||||
Define the entry point in :file:`pyproject.toml`:
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: toml
|
||||
|
||||
[project.scripts]
|
||||
wiki = "wiki:cli"
|
||||
|
||||
Install the application in the virtualenv in editable mode and the custom
|
||||
script is available. Note that you don't need to set ``--app``. ::
|
||||
|
||||
$ pip install -e .
|
||||
$ wiki run
|
||||
|
||||
.. admonition:: Errors in Custom Scripts
|
||||
|
||||
When using a custom script, if you introduce an error in your
|
||||
module-level code, the reloader will fail because it can no longer
|
||||
load the entry point.
|
||||
|
||||
The ``flask`` command, being separate from your code, does not have
|
||||
this issue and is recommended in most cases.
|
||||
|
||||
.. _console script: https://packaging.python.org/tutorials/packaging-projects/#console-scripts
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
PyCharm Integration
|
||||
-------------------
|
||||
|
||||
PyCharm Professional provides a special Flask run configuration to run the development
|
||||
server. For the Community Edition, and for other commands besides ``run``, you need to
|
||||
create a custom run configuration. These instructions should be similar for any other
|
||||
IDE you use.
|
||||
|
||||
In PyCharm, with your project open, click on *Run* from the menu bar and go to *Edit
|
||||
Configurations*. You'll see a screen similar to this:
|
||||
|
||||
.. image:: _static/pycharm-run-config.png
|
||||
:align: center
|
||||
:class: screenshot
|
||||
:alt: Screenshot of PyCharm run configuration.
|
||||
|
||||
Once you create a configuration for the ``flask run``, you can copy and change it to
|
||||
call any other command.
|
||||
|
||||
Click the *+ (Add New Configuration)* button and select *Python*. Give the configuration
|
||||
a name such as "flask run".
|
||||
|
||||
Click the *Script path* dropdown and change it to *Module name*, then input ``flask``.
|
||||
|
||||
The *Parameters* field is set to the CLI command to execute along with any arguments.
|
||||
This example uses ``--app hello run --debug``, which will run the development server in
|
||||
debug mode. ``--app hello`` should be the import or file with your Flask app.
|
||||
|
||||
If you installed your project as a package in your virtualenv, you may uncheck the
|
||||
*PYTHONPATH* options. This will more accurately match how you deploy later.
|
||||
|
||||
Click *OK* to save and close the configuration. Select the configuration in the main
|
||||
PyCharm window and click the play button next to it to run the server.
|
||||
|
||||
Now that you have a configuration for ``flask run``, you can copy that configuration and
|
||||
change the *Parameters* argument to run a different CLI command.

Configuration Handling
|
||||
======================
|
||||
|
||||
Applications need some kind of configuration. There are different settings
|
||||
you might want to change depending on the application environment like
|
||||
toggling the debug mode, setting the secret key, and other such
|
||||
environment-specific things.
|
||||
|
||||
The way Flask is designed usually requires the configuration to be
|
||||
available when the application starts up. You can hard code the
|
||||
configuration in the code, which for many small applications is not
|
||||
actually that bad, but there are better ways.
|
||||
|
||||
Independent of how you load your config, there is a config object
|
||||
available which holds the loaded configuration values:
|
||||
The :attr:`~flask.Flask.config` attribute of the :class:`~flask.Flask`
|
||||
object. This is the place where Flask itself puts certain configuration
|
||||
values and also where extensions can put their configuration values. But
|
||||
this is also where you can have your own configuration.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Configuration Basics
|
||||
--------------------
|
||||
|
||||
The :attr:`~flask.Flask.config` is actually a subclass of a dictionary and
|
||||
can be modified just like any dictionary::
|
||||
|
||||
app = Flask(__name__)
|
||||
app.config['TESTING'] = True
|
||||
|
||||
Certain configuration values are also forwarded to the
|
||||
:attr:`~flask.Flask` object so you can read and write them from there::
|
||||
|
||||
app.testing = True
|
||||
|
||||
To update multiple keys at once you can use the :meth:`dict.update`
|
||||
method::
|
||||
|
||||
app.config.update(
|
||||
TESTING=True,
|
||||
SECRET_KEY='192b9bdd22ab9ed4d12e236c78afcb9a393ec15f71bbf5dc987d54727823bcbf'
|
||||
)
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Debug Mode
|
||||
----------
|
||||
|
||||
The :data:`DEBUG` config value is special because it may behave inconsistently if
|
||||
changed after the app has begun setting up. In order to set debug mode reliably, use the
|
||||
``--debug`` option on the ``flask`` or ``flask run`` command. ``flask run`` will use the
|
||||
interactive debugger and reloader by default in debug mode.
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: text
|
||||
|
||||
$ flask --app hello run --debug
|
||||
|
||||
Using the option is recommended. While it is possible to set :data:`DEBUG` in your
|
||||
config or code, this is strongly discouraged. It can't be read early by the
|
||||
``flask run`` command, and some systems or extensions may have already configured
|
||||
themselves based on a previous value.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Builtin Configuration Values
|
||||
----------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
The following configuration values are used internally by Flask:
|
||||
|
||||
.. py:data:: DEBUG
|
||||
|
||||
Whether debug mode is enabled. When using ``flask run`` to start the development
|
||||
server, an interactive debugger will be shown for unhandled exceptions, and the
|
||||
server will be reloaded when code changes. The :attr:`~flask.Flask.debug` attribute
|
||||
maps to this config key. This is set with the ``FLASK_DEBUG`` environment variable.
|
||||
It may not behave as expected if set in code.
|
||||
|
||||
**Do not enable debug mode when deploying in production.**
|
||||
|
||||
Default: ``False``
|
||||
|
||||
.. py:data:: TESTING
|
||||
|
||||
Enable testing mode. Exceptions are propagated rather than handled by the
|
||||
the app's error handlers. Extensions may also change their behavior to
|
||||
facilitate easier testing. You should enable this in your own tests.
|
||||
|
||||
Default: ``False``
|
||||
|
||||
.. py:data:: PROPAGATE_EXCEPTIONS
|
||||
|
||||
Exceptions are re-raised rather than being handled by the app's error
|
||||
handlers. If not set, this is implicitly true if ``TESTING`` or ``DEBUG``
|
||||
is enabled.
|
||||
|
||||
Default: ``None``
|
||||
|
||||
.. py:data:: TRAP_HTTP_EXCEPTIONS
|
||||
|
||||
If there is no handler for an ``HTTPException``-type exception, re-raise it
|
||||
to be handled by the interactive debugger instead of returning it as a
|
||||
simple error response.
|
||||
|
||||
Default: ``False``
|
||||
|
||||
.. py:data:: TRAP_BAD_REQUEST_ERRORS
|
||||
|
||||
Trying to access a key that doesn't exist from request dicts like ``args``
|
||||
and ``form`` will return a 400 Bad Request error page. Enable this to treat
|
||||
the error as an unhandled exception instead so that you get the interactive
|
||||
debugger. This is a more specific version of ``TRAP_HTTP_EXCEPTIONS``. If
|
||||
unset, it is enabled in debug mode.
|
||||
|
||||
Default: ``None``
|
||||
|
||||
.. py:data:: SECRET_KEY
|
||||
|
||||
A secret key that will be used for securely signing the session cookie
|
||||
and can be used for any other security related needs by extensions or your
|
||||
application. It should be a long random ``bytes`` or ``str``. For
|
||||
example, copy the output of this to your config::
|
||||
|
||||
$ python -c 'import secrets; print(secrets.token_hex())'
|
||||
'192b9bdd22ab9ed4d12e236c78afcb9a393ec15f71bbf5dc987d54727823bcbf'
|
||||
|
||||
**Do not reveal the secret key when posting questions or committing code.**
|
||||
|
||||
Default: ``None``
|
||||
|
||||
.. py:data:: SECRET_KEY_FALLBACKS
|
||||
|
||||
A list of old secret keys that can still be used for unsigning, most recent
|
||||
first. This allows a project to implement key rotation without invalidating
|
||||
active sessions or other recently-signed secrets.
|
||||
|
||||
Keys should be removed after an appropriate period of time, as checking each
|
||||
additional key adds some overhead.
|
||||
|
||||
Flask's built-in secure cookie session supports this. Extensions that use
|
||||
:data:`SECRET_KEY` may not support this yet.
|
||||
|
||||
Default: ``None``
|
||||
|
||||
.. versionadded:: 3.1
|
||||
|
||||
.. py:data:: SESSION_COOKIE_NAME
|
||||
|
||||
The name of the session cookie. Can be changed in case you already have a
|
||||
cookie with the same name.
|
||||
|
||||
Default: ``'session'``
|
||||
|
||||
.. py:data:: SESSION_COOKIE_DOMAIN
|
||||
|
||||
The value of the ``Domain`` parameter on the session cookie. If not set, browsers
|
||||
will only send the cookie to the exact domain it was set from. Otherwise, they
|
||||
will send it to any subdomain of the given value as well.
|
||||
|
||||
Not setting this value is more restricted and secure than setting it.
|
||||
|
||||
Default: ``None``
|
||||
|
||||
.. warning::
|
||||
If this is changed after the browser created a cookie is created with
|
||||
one setting, it may result in another being created. Browsers may send
|
||||
send both in an undefined order. In that case, you may want to change
|
||||
:data:`SESSION_COOKIE_NAME` as well or otherwise invalidate old sessions.
|
||||
|
||||
.. versionchanged:: 2.3
|
||||
Not set by default, does not fall back to ``SERVER_NAME``.
|
||||
|
||||
.. py:data:: SESSION_COOKIE_PATH
|
||||
|
||||
The path that the session cookie will be valid for. If not set, the cookie
|
||||
will be valid underneath ``APPLICATION_ROOT`` or ``/`` if that is not set.
|
||||
|
||||
Default: ``None``
|
||||
|
||||
.. py:data:: SESSION_COOKIE_HTTPONLY
|
||||
|
||||
Browsers will not allow JavaScript access to cookies marked as "HTTP only"
|
||||
for security.
|
||||
|
||||
Default: ``True``
|
||||
|
||||
.. py:data:: SESSION_COOKIE_SECURE
|
||||
|
||||
Browsers will only send cookies with requests over HTTPS if the cookie is
|
||||
marked "secure". The application must be served over HTTPS for this to make
|
||||
sense.
|
||||
|
||||
Default: ``False``
|
||||
|
||||
.. py:data:: SESSION_COOKIE_PARTITIONED
|
||||
|
||||
Browsers will send cookies based on the top-level document's domain, rather
|
||||
than only the domain of the document setting the cookie. This prevents third
|
||||
party cookies set in iframes from "leaking" between separate sites.
|
||||
|
||||
Browsers are beginning to disallow non-partitioned third party cookies, so
|
||||
you need to mark your cookies partitioned if you expect them to work in such
|
||||
embedded situations.
|
||||
|
||||
Enabling this implicitly enables :data:`SESSION_COOKIE_SECURE` as well, as
|
||||
it is only valid when served over HTTPS.
|
||||
|
||||
Default: ``False``
|
||||
|
||||
.. versionadded:: 3.1
|
||||
|
||||
.. py:data:: SESSION_COOKIE_SAMESITE
|
||||
|
||||
Restrict how cookies are sent with requests from external sites. Can
|
||||
be set to ``'Lax'`` (recommended) or ``'Strict'``.
|
||||
See :ref:`security-cookie`.
|
||||
|
||||
Default: ``None``
|
||||
|
||||
.. versionadded:: 1.0
|
||||
|
||||
.. py:data:: PERMANENT_SESSION_LIFETIME
|
||||
|
||||
If ``session.permanent`` is true, the cookie's expiration will be set this
|
||||
number of seconds in the future. Can either be a
|
||||
:class:`datetime.timedelta` or an ``int``.
|
||||
|
||||
Flask's default cookie implementation validates that the cryptographic
|
||||
signature is not older than this value.
|
||||
|
||||
Default: ``timedelta(days=31)`` (``2678400`` seconds)
|
||||
|
||||
.. py:data:: SESSION_REFRESH_EACH_REQUEST
|
||||
|
||||
Control whether the cookie is sent with every response when
|
||||
``session.permanent`` is true. Sending the cookie every time (the default)
|
||||
can more reliably keep the session from expiring, but uses more bandwidth.
|
||||
Non-permanent sessions are not affected.
|
||||
|
||||
Default: ``True``
|
||||
|
||||
.. py:data:: USE_X_SENDFILE
|
||||
|
||||
When serving files, set the ``X-Sendfile`` header instead of serving the
|
||||
data with Flask. Some web servers, such as Apache, recognize this and serve
|
||||
the data more efficiently. This only makes sense when using such a server.
|
||||
|
||||
Default: ``False``
|
||||
|
||||
.. py:data:: SEND_FILE_MAX_AGE_DEFAULT
|
||||
|
||||
When serving files, set the cache control max age to this number of
|
||||
seconds. Can be a :class:`datetime.timedelta` or an ``int``.
|
||||
Override this value on a per-file basis using
|
||||
:meth:`~flask.Flask.get_send_file_max_age` on the application or
|
||||
blueprint.
|
||||
|
||||
If ``None``, ``send_file`` tells the browser to use conditional
|
||||
requests will be used instead of a timed cache, which is usually
|
||||
preferable.
|
||||
|
||||
Default: ``None``
|
||||
|
||||
.. py:data:: TRUSTED_HOSTS
|
||||
|
||||
Validate :attr:`.Request.host` and other attributes that use it against
|
||||
these trusted values. Raise a :exc:`~werkzeug.exceptions.SecurityError` if
|
||||
the host is invalid, which results in a 400 error. If it is ``None``, all
|
||||
hosts are valid. Each value is either an exact match, or can start with
|
||||
a dot ``.`` to match any subdomain.
|
||||
|
||||
Validation is done during routing against this value. ``before_request`` and
|
||||
``after_request`` callbacks will still be called.
|
||||
|
||||
Default: ``None``
|
||||
|
||||
.. versionadded:: 3.1
|
||||
|
||||
.. py:data:: SERVER_NAME
|
||||
|
||||
Inform the application what host and port it is bound to.
|
||||
|
||||
Must be set if ``subdomain_matching`` is enabled, to be able to extract the
|
||||
subdomain from the request.
|
||||
|
||||
Must be set for ``url_for`` to generate external URLs outside of a
|
||||
request context.
|
||||
|
||||
Default: ``None``
|
||||
|
||||
.. versionchanged:: 3.1
|
||||
Does not restrict requests to only this domain, for both
|
||||
``subdomain_matching`` and ``host_matching``.
|
||||
|
||||
.. versionchanged:: 1.0
|
||||
Does not implicitly enable ``subdomain_matching``.
|
||||
|
||||
.. versionchanged:: 2.3
|
||||
Does not affect ``SESSION_COOKIE_DOMAIN``.
|
||||
|
||||
.. py:data:: APPLICATION_ROOT
|
||||
|
||||
Inform the application what path it is mounted under by the application /
|
||||
web server. This is used for generating URLs outside the context of a
|
||||
request (inside a request, the dispatcher is responsible for setting
|
||||
``SCRIPT_NAME`` instead; see :doc:`/patterns/appdispatch`
|
||||
for examples of dispatch configuration).
|
||||
|
||||
Will be used for the session cookie path if ``SESSION_COOKIE_PATH`` is not
|
||||
set.
|
||||
|
||||
Default: ``'/'``
|
||||
|
||||
.. py:data:: PREFERRED_URL_SCHEME
|
||||
|
||||
Use this scheme for generating external URLs when not in a request context.
|
||||
|
||||
Default: ``'http'``
|
||||
|
||||
.. py:data:: MAX_CONTENT_LENGTH
|
||||
|
||||
The maximum number of bytes that will be read during this request. If
|
||||
this limit is exceeded, a 413 :exc:`~werkzeug.exceptions.RequestEntityTooLarge`
|
||||
error is raised. If it is set to ``None``, no limit is enforced at the
|
||||
Flask application level. However, if it is ``None`` and the request has no
|
||||
``Content-Length`` header and the WSGI server does not indicate that it
|
||||
terminates the stream, then no data is read to avoid an infinite stream.
|
||||
|
||||
Each request defaults to this config. It can be set on a specific
|
||||
:attr:`.Request.max_content_length` to apply the limit to that specific
|
||||
view. This should be set appropriately based on an application's or view's
|
||||
specific needs.
|
||||
|
||||
Default: ``None``
|
||||
|
||||
.. versionadded:: 0.6
|
||||
|
||||
.. py:data:: MAX_FORM_MEMORY_SIZE
|
||||
|
||||
The maximum size in bytes any non-file form field may be in a
|
||||
``multipart/form-data`` body. If this limit is exceeded, a 413
|
||||
:exc:`~werkzeug.exceptions.RequestEntityTooLarge` error is raised. If it is
|
||||
set to ``None``, no limit is enforced at the Flask application level.
|
||||
|
||||
Each request defaults to this config. It can be set on a specific

Configuring from Python Files
|
||||
-----------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Configuration becomes more useful if you can store it in a separate file, ideally
|
||||
located outside the actual application package. You can deploy your application, then
|
||||
separately configure it for the specific deployment.
|
||||
|
||||
A common pattern is this::
|
||||
|
||||
app = Flask(__name__)
|
||||
app.config.from_object('yourapplication.default_settings')
|
||||
app.config.from_envvar('YOURAPPLICATION_SETTINGS')
|
||||
|
||||
This first loads the configuration from the
|
||||
`yourapplication.default_settings` module and then overrides the values
|
||||
with the contents of the file the :envvar:`YOURAPPLICATION_SETTINGS`
|
||||
environment variable points to. This environment variable can be set
|
||||
in the shell before starting the server:
|
||||
|
||||
.. tabs::
|
||||
|
||||
.. group-tab:: Bash
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: text
|
||||
|
||||
$ export YOURAPPLICATION_SETTINGS=/path/to/settings.cfg
|
||||
$ flask run
|
||||
* Running on http://127.0.0.1:5000/
|
||||
|
||||
.. group-tab:: Fish
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: text
|
||||
|
||||
$ set -x YOURAPPLICATION_SETTINGS /path/to/settings.cfg
|
||||
$ flask run
|
||||
* Running on http://127.0.0.1:5000/
|
||||
|
||||
.. group-tab:: CMD
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: text
|
||||
|
||||
> set YOURAPPLICATION_SETTINGS=\path\to\settings.cfg
|
||||
> flask run
|
||||
* Running on http://127.0.0.1:5000/
|
||||
|
||||
.. group-tab:: Powershell
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: text
|
||||
|
||||
> $env:YOURAPPLICATION_SETTINGS = "\path\to\settings.cfg"
|
||||
> flask run
|
||||
* Running on http://127.0.0.1:5000/
|
||||
|
||||
The configuration files themselves are actual Python files. Only values
|
||||
in uppercase are actually stored in the config object later on. So make
|
||||
sure to use uppercase letters for your config keys.
|
||||
|
||||
Here is an example of a configuration file::
|
||||
|
||||
# Example configuration
|
||||
SECRET_KEY = '192b9bdd22ab9ed4d12e236c78afcb9a393ec15f71bbf5dc987d54727823bcbf'
|
||||
|
||||
Make sure to load the configuration very early on, so that extensions have
|
||||
the ability to access the configuration when starting up. There are other
|
||||
methods on the config object as well to load from individual files. For a
|
||||
complete reference, read the :class:`~flask.Config` object's
|
||||
documentation.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Configuring from Data Files
|
||||
---------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
It is also possible to load configuration from a file in a format of
|
||||
your choice using :meth:`~flask.Config.from_file`. For example to load
|
||||
from a TOML file:
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: python
|
||||
|
||||
import tomllib
|
||||
app.config.from_file("config.toml", load=tomllib.load, text=False)
|
||||
|
||||
Or from a JSON file:
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: python
|
||||
|
||||
import json
|
||||
app.config.from_file("config.json", load=json.load)
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Configuring from Environment Variables
|
||||
--------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
In addition to pointing to configuration files using environment
|
||||
variables, you may find it useful (or necessary) to control your
|
||||
configuration values directly from the environment. Flask can be
|
||||
instructed to load all environment variables starting with a specific
|
||||
prefix into the config using :meth:`~flask.Config.from_prefixed_env`.
|
||||
|
||||
Environment variables can be set in the shell before starting the
|
||||
server:
|
||||
|
||||
.. tabs::
|
||||
|
||||
.. group-tab:: Bash
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: text
|
||||
|
||||
$ export FLASK_SECRET_KEY="5f352379324c22463451387a0aec5d2f"
|
||||
$ export FLASK_MAIL_ENABLED=false
|
||||
$ flask run
|
||||
* Running on http://127.0.0.1:5000/
|
||||
|
||||
.. group-tab:: Fish
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: text
|
||||
|
||||
$ set -x FLASK_SECRET_KEY "5f352379324c22463451387a0aec5d2f"
|
||||
$ set -x FLASK_MAIL_ENABLED false
|
||||
$ flask run
|
||||
* Running on http://127.0.0.1:5000/
|
||||
|
||||
.. group-tab:: CMD
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: text
|
||||
|
||||
> set FLASK_SECRET_KEY="5f352379324c22463451387a0aec5d2f"
|
||||
> set FLASK_MAIL_ENABLED=false
|
||||
> flask run
|
||||
* Running on http://127.0.0.1:5000/
|
||||
|
||||
.. group-tab:: Powershell
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: text
|
||||
|
||||
> $env:FLASK_SECRET_KEY = "5f352379324c22463451387a0aec5d2f"
|
||||
> $env:FLASK_MAIL_ENABLED = "false"
|
||||
> flask run
|
||||
* Running on http://127.0.0.1:5000/
|
||||
|
||||
The variables can then be loaded and accessed via the config with a key
|
||||
equal to the environment variable name without the prefix i.e.
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: python
|
||||
|
||||
app.config.from_prefixed_env()
|
||||
app.config["SECRET_KEY"] # Is "5f352379324c22463451387a0aec5d2f"
|
||||
|
||||
The prefix is ``FLASK_`` by default. This is configurable via the
|
||||
``prefix`` argument of :meth:`~flask.Config.from_prefixed_env`.
|
||||
|
||||
Values will be parsed to attempt to convert them to a more specific type
|
||||
than strings. By default :func:`json.loads` is used, so any valid JSON
|
||||
value is possible, including lists and dicts. This is configurable via
|
||||
the ``loads`` argument of :meth:`~flask.Config.from_prefixed_env`.
|
||||
|
||||
When adding a boolean value with the default JSON parsing, only "true"
|
||||
and "false", lowercase, are valid values. Keep in mind that any
|
||||
non-empty string is considered ``True`` by Python.
|
||||
|
||||
It is possible to set keys in nested dictionaries by separating the
|
||||
keys with double underscore (``__``). Any intermediate keys that don't
|
||||
exist on the parent dict will be initialized to an empty dict.
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: text
|
||||
|
||||
$ export FLASK_MYAPI__credentials__username=user123
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: python
|
||||
|
||||
app.config["MYAPI"]["credentials"]["username"] # Is "user123"
|
||||
|
||||
On Windows, environment variable keys are always uppercase, therefore
|
||||
the above example would end up as ``MYAPI__CREDENTIALS__USERNAME``.
|
||||
|
||||
For even more config loading features, including merging and
|
||||
case-insensitive Windows support, try a dedicated library such as
|
||||
Dynaconf_, which includes integration with Flask.

|
||||
Configuration Best Practices
|
||||
----------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
The downside with the approach mentioned earlier is that it makes testing
|
||||
a little harder. There is no single 100% solution for this problem in
|
||||
general, but there are a couple of things you can keep in mind to improve
|
||||
that experience:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Create your application in a function and register blueprints on it.
|
||||
That way you can create multiple instances of your application with
|
||||
different configurations attached which makes unit testing a lot
|
||||
easier. You can use this to pass in configuration as needed.
|
||||
|
||||
2. Do not write code that needs the configuration at import time. If you
|
||||
limit yourself to request-only accesses to the configuration you can
|
||||
reconfigure the object later on as needed.
|
||||
|
||||
3. Make sure to load the configuration very early on, so that
|
||||
extensions can access the configuration when calling ``init_app``.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
.. _config-dev-prod:
|
||||
|
||||
Development / Production
|
||||
------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Most applications need more than one configuration. There should be at
|
||||
least separate configurations for the production server and the one used
|
||||
during development. The easiest way to handle this is to use a default
|
||||
configuration that is always loaded and part of the version control, and a
|
||||
separate configuration that overrides the values as necessary as mentioned
|
||||
in the example above::
|
||||
|
||||
app = Flask(__name__)
|
||||
app.config.from_object('yourapplication.default_settings')
|
||||
app.config.from_envvar('YOURAPPLICATION_SETTINGS')
|
||||
|
||||
Then you just have to add a separate :file:`config.py` file and export
|
||||
``YOURAPPLICATION_SETTINGS=/path/to/config.py`` and you are done. However
|
||||
there are alternative ways as well. For example you could use imports or
|
||||
subclassing.
|
||||
|
||||
What is very popular in the Django world is to make the import explicit in
|
||||
the config file by adding ``from yourapplication.default_settings
|
||||
import *`` to the top of the file and then overriding the changes by hand.
|
||||
You could also inspect an environment variable like
|
||||
``YOURAPPLICATION_MODE`` and set that to `production`, `development` etc
|
||||
and import different hard-coded files based on that.
|
||||
|
||||
An interesting pattern is also to use classes and inheritance for
|
||||
configuration::
|
||||
|
||||
class Config(object):
|
||||
TESTING = False
|
||||
|
||||
class ProductionConfig(Config):
|
||||
DATABASE_URI = 'mysql://user@localhost/foo'
|
||||
|
||||
class DevelopmentConfig(Config):
|
||||
DATABASE_URI = "sqlite:////tmp/foo.db"
|
||||
|
||||
class TestingConfig(Config):
|
||||
DATABASE_URI = 'sqlite:///:memory:'
|
||||
TESTING = True
|
||||
|
||||
To enable such a config you just have to call into
|
||||
:meth:`~flask.Config.from_object`::
|
||||
|
||||
app.config.from_object('configmodule.ProductionConfig')
|
||||
|
||||
Note that :meth:`~flask.Config.from_object` does not instantiate the class
|
||||
object. If you need to instantiate the class, such as to access a property,
|
||||
then you must do so before calling :meth:`~flask.Config.from_object`::
|
||||
|
||||
from configmodule import ProductionConfig
|
||||
app.config.from_object(ProductionConfig())
|
||||
|
||||
# Alternatively, import via string:
|
||||
from werkzeug.utils import import_string
|
||||
cfg = import_string('configmodule.ProductionConfig')()
|
||||
app.config.from_object(cfg)
|
||||
|
||||
Instantiating the configuration object allows you to use ``@property`` in
|
||||
your configuration classes::
|
||||
|
||||
class Config(object):
|
||||
"""Base config, uses staging database server."""
|
||||
TESTING = False
|
||||
DB_SERVER = '192.168.1.56'
|
||||
|
||||
@property
|
||||
def DATABASE_URI(self): # Note: all caps
|
||||
return f"mysql://user@{self.DB_SERVER}/foo"
|
||||
|
||||
class ProductionConfig(Config):
|
||||
"""Uses production database server."""
|
||||
DB_SERVER = '192.168.19.32'
|
||||
|
||||
class DevelopmentConfig(Config):
|
||||
DB_SERVER = 'localhost'
|
||||
|
||||
class TestingConfig(Config):
|
||||
DB_SERVER = 'localhost'
|
||||
DATABASE_URI = 'sqlite:///:memory:'
|
||||
|
||||
There are many different ways and it's up to you how you want to manage
|
||||
your configuration files. However here a list of good recommendations:
|
||||
|
||||
- Keep a default configuration in version control. Either populate the
|
||||
config with this default configuration or import it in your own
|
||||
configuration files before overriding values.
|
||||
- Use an environment variable to switch between the configurations.
|
||||
This can be done from outside the Python interpreter and makes
|
||||
development and deployment much easier because you can quickly and
|
||||
easily switch between different configs without having to touch the
|
||||
code at all. If you are working often on different projects you can
|
||||
even create your own script for sourcing that activates a virtualenv
|
||||
and exports the development configuration for you.
|
||||
- Use a tool like `fabric`_ to push code and configuration separately
|
||||
to the production server(s).
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
.. _instance-folders:
|
||||
|
||||
Instance Folders
|
||||
----------------
|
||||
|
||||
.. versionadded:: 0.8
|
||||
|
||||
Flask 0.8 introduces instance folders. Flask for a long time made it
|
||||
possible to refer to paths relative to the application's folder directly
|
||||
(via :attr:`Flask.root_path`). This was also how many developers loaded
|
||||
configurations stored next to the application. Unfortunately however this
|
||||
only works well if applications are not packages in which case the root
|
||||
path refers to the contents of the package.
|
||||
|
||||
With Flask 0.8 a new attribute was introduced:
|
||||
:attr:`Flask.instance_path`. It refers to a new concept called the
|
||||
“instance folder”. The instance folder is designed to not be under
|
||||
version control and be deployment specific. It's the perfect place to
|
||||
drop things that either change at runtime or configuration files.
|
||||
|
||||
You can either explicitly provide the path of the instance folder when
|
||||
creating the Flask application or you can let Flask autodetect the
|
||||
instance folder. For explicit configuration use the `instance_path`
|
||||
parameter::
|
||||
|
||||
app = Flask(__name__, instance_path='/path/to/instance/folder')
|
||||
|
||||
Please keep in mind that this path *must* be absolute when provided.
|
||||
|
||||
If the `instance_path` parameter is not provided the following default
|
||||
locations are used:
|
||||
|
||||
- Uninstalled module::
|
||||
|
||||
/myapp.py
|
||||
/instance
|
||||
|
||||
- Uninstalled package::
|
||||
|
||||
/myapp
|
||||
/__init__.py
|
||||
/instance
|
||||
|
||||
- Installed module or package::
|
||||
|
||||
$PREFIX/lib/pythonX.Y/site-packages/myapp
|
||||
$PREFIX/var/myapp-instance
|
||||
|
||||
``$PREFIX`` is the prefix of your Python installation. This can be
|
||||
``/usr`` or the path to your virtualenv. You can print the value of
|
||||
``sys.prefix`` to see what the prefix is set to.
|
||||
|
||||
Since the config object provided loading of configuration files from
|
||||
relative filenames we made it possible to change the loading via filenames
|
||||
to be relative to the instance path if wanted. The behavior of relative
|
||||
paths in config files can be flipped between “relative to the application
|
||||
root” (the default) to “relative to instance folder” via the
|
||||
`instance_relative_config` switch to the application constructor::
|
||||
|
||||
app = Flask(__name__, instance_relative_config=True)
|
||||
|
||||
Here is a full example of how to configure Flask to preload the config
|
||||
from a module and then override the config from a file in the instance
|
||||
folder if it exists::
|
||||
|
||||
app = Flask(__name__, instance_relative_config=True)
|
||||
app.config.from_object('yourapplication.default_settings')
|
||||
app.config.from_pyfile('application.cfg', silent=True)
|
||||
|
||||
The path to the instance folder can be found via the
|
||||
:attr:`Flask.instance_path`. Flask also provides a shortcut to open a
|
||||
file from the instance folder with :meth:`Flask.open_instance_resource`.
|
||||
|
||||
Example usage for both::
|
||||
|
||||
filename = os.path.join(app.instance_path, 'application.cfg')
|
||||
with open(filename) as f:
|
||||
config = f.read()
|
||||
|
||||
# or via open_instance_resource:
|
||||
with app.open_instance_resource('application.cfg') as f:
|
||||
config = f.read()

Debugging Application Errors
|
||||
============================
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
In Production
|
||||
-------------
|
||||
|
||||
**Do not run the development server, or enable the built-in debugger, in
|
||||
a production environment.** The debugger allows executing arbitrary
|
||||
Python code from the browser. It's protected by a pin, but that should
|
||||
not be relied on for security.
|
||||
|
||||
Use an error logging tool, such as Sentry, as described in
|
||||
:ref:`error-logging-tools`, or enable logging and notifications as
|
||||
described in :doc:`/logging`.
|
||||
|
||||
If you have access to the server, you could add some code to start an
|
||||
external debugger if ``request.remote_addr`` matches your IP. Some IDE
|
||||
debuggers also have a remote mode so breakpoints on the server can be
|
||||
interacted with locally. Only enable a debugger temporarily.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
The Built-In Debugger
|
||||
---------------------
|
||||
|
||||
The built-in Werkzeug development server provides a debugger which shows
|
||||
an interactive traceback in the browser when an unhandled error occurs
|
||||
during a request. This debugger should only be used during development.
|
||||
|
||||
.. image:: _static/debugger.png
|
||||
:align: center
|
||||
:class: screenshot
|
||||
:alt: screenshot of debugger in action
|
||||
|
||||
.. warning::
|
||||
|
||||
The debugger allows executing arbitrary Python code from the
|
||||
browser. It is protected by a pin, but still represents a major
|
||||
security risk. Do not run the development server or debugger in a
|
||||
production environment.
|
||||
|
||||
The debugger is enabled by default when the development server is run in debug mode.
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: text
|
||||
|
||||
$ flask --app hello run --debug
|
||||
|
||||
When running from Python code, passing ``debug=True`` enables debug mode, which is
|
||||
mostly equivalent.
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: python
|
||||
|
||||
app.run(debug=True)
|
||||
|
||||
:doc:`/server` and :doc:`/cli` have more information about running the debugger and
|
||||
debug mode. More information about the debugger can be found in the `Werkzeug
|
||||
documentation <https://werkzeug.palletsprojects.com/debug/>`__.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
External Debuggers
|
||||
------------------
|
||||
|
||||
External debuggers, such as those provided by IDEs, can offer a more
|
||||
powerful debugging experience than the built-in debugger. They can also
|
||||
be used to step through code during a request before an error is raised,
|
||||
or if no error is raised. Some even have a remote mode so you can debug
|
||||
code running on another machine.
|
||||
|
||||
When using an external debugger, the app should still be in debug mode, otherwise Flask
|
||||
turns unhandled errors into generic 500 error pages. However, the built-in debugger and
|
||||
reloader should be disabled so they don't interfere with the external debugger.
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: text
|
||||
|
||||
$ flask --app hello run --debug --no-debugger --no-reload
|
||||
|
||||
When running from Python:
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: python
|
||||
|
||||
app.run(debug=True, use_debugger=False, use_reloader=False)
|
||||
|
||||
Disabling these isn't required, an external debugger will continue to work with the
|
||||
following caveats.
|
||||
|
||||
- If the built-in debugger is not disabled, it will catch unhandled exceptions before
|
||||
the external debugger can.
|
||||
- If the reloader is not disabled, it could cause an unexpected reload if code changes
|
||||
during a breakpoint.
|
||||
- The development server will still catch unhandled exceptions if the built-in
|
||||
debugger is disabled, otherwise it would crash on any error. If you want that (and
|
||||
usually you don't) pass ``passthrough_errors=True`` to ``app.run``.
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: python
|
||||
|
||||
app.run(
|
||||
debug=True, passthrough_errors=True,
|
||||
use_debugger=False, use_reloader=False
|
||||
)

Apache httpd
|
||||
============
|
||||
|
||||
`Apache httpd`_ is a fast, production level HTTP server. When serving
|
||||
your application with one of the WSGI servers listed in :doc:`index`, it
|
||||
is often good or necessary to put a dedicated HTTP server in front of
|
||||
it. This "reverse proxy" can handle incoming requests, TLS, and other
|
||||
security and performance concerns better than the WSGI server.
|
||||
|
||||
httpd can be installed using your system package manager, or a pre-built
|
||||
executable for Windows. Installing and running httpd itself is outside
|
||||
the scope of this doc. This page outlines the basics of configuring
|
||||
httpd to proxy your application. Be sure to read its documentation to
|
||||
understand what features are available.
|
||||
|
||||
.. _Apache httpd: https://httpd.apache.org/
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Domain Name
|
||||
-----------
|
||||
|
||||
Acquiring and configuring a domain name is outside the scope of this
|
||||
doc. In general, you will buy a domain name from a registrar, pay for
|
||||
server space with a hosting provider, and then point your registrar
|
||||
at the hosting provider's name servers.
|
||||
|
||||
To simulate this, you can also edit your ``hosts`` file, located at
|
||||
``/etc/hosts`` on Linux. Add a line that associates a name with the
|
||||
local IP.
|
||||
|
||||
Modern Linux systems may be configured to treat any domain name that
|
||||
ends with ``.localhost`` like this without adding it to the ``hosts``
|
||||
file.
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: python
|
||||
:caption: ``/etc/hosts``
|
||||
|
||||
127.0.0.1 hello.localhost
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Configuration
|
||||
-------------
|
||||
|
||||
The httpd configuration is located at ``/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf`` on
|
||||
Linux. It may be different depending on your operating system. Check the
|
||||
docs and look for ``httpd.conf``.
|
||||
|
||||
Remove or comment out any existing ``DocumentRoot`` directive. Add the
|
||||
config lines below. We'll assume the WSGI server is listening locally at
|
||||
``http://127.0.0.1:8000``.
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: apache
|
||||

||||
ProxyPass / http://127.0.0.1:8000/
|
||||
RequestHeader set X-Forwarded-Proto http
|
||||
RequestHeader set X-Forwarded-Prefix /
|
||||
|
||||
The ``LoadModule`` lines might already exist. If so, make sure they are
|
||||
uncommented instead of adding them manually.
|
||||
|
||||
Then :doc:`proxy_fix` so that your application uses the ``X-Forwarded``
|
||||
headers. ``X-Forwarded-For`` and ``X-Forwarded-Host`` are automatically
|
||||
set by ``ProxyPass``.

ASGI
|
||||
====
|
||||
|
||||
If you'd like to use an ASGI server you will need to utilise WSGI to
|
||||
ASGI middleware. The asgiref
|
||||
`WsgiToAsgi <https://github.com/django/asgiref#wsgi-to-asgi-adapter>`_
|
||||
adapter is recommended as it integrates with the event loop used for
|
||||
Flask's :ref:`async_await` support. You can use the adapter by
|
||||
wrapping the Flask app,
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: python
|
||||
|
||||
from asgiref.wsgi import WsgiToAsgi
|
||||
from flask import Flask
|
||||
|
||||
app = Flask(__name__)
|
||||
|
||||
...
|
||||
|
||||
asgi_app = WsgiToAsgi(app)
|
||||
|
||||
and then serving the ``asgi_app`` with the ASGI server, e.g. using
|
||||
`Hypercorn <https://github.com/pgjones/hypercorn>`_,
|
||||
|
||||
.. sourcecode:: text
|
||||
|

eventlet
|
||||
========
|
||||
|

Prefer using :doc:`gunicorn` with eventlet workers rather than using
|
||||
`eventlet`_ directly. Gunicorn provides a much more configurable and

production-tested server.
|

|

`eventlet`_ allows writing asynchronous, coroutine-based code that looks

|

|

:doc:`gevent` is another library that does the same thing. Certain

two you choose to use.
|

eventlet provides a WSGI server that can handle many connections at once
|

instead of one per worker process. You must actually use eventlet in

your own code to see any benefit to using the server.

----------

When using eventlet, greenlet>=1.0 is required, otherwise context locals
|

such as ``request`` will not work as expected. When using PyPy,
|
||||
PyPy>=7.3.7 is required.
|
||||
|

``eventlet``.

|
||||
|

Running
|
||||
-------
|
||||
|
||||
To use eventlet to serve your application, write a script that imports
|

its ``wsgi.server``, as well as your app or app factory.

|
||||
Binding Externally
|
||||
------------------
|
||||
|
||||
eventlet should not be run as root because it would cause your
|
||||
application code to run as root, which is not secure. However, this
|
||||
means it will not be possible to bind to port 80 or 443. Instead, a
|
||||
reverse proxy such as :doc:`nginx` or :doc:`apache-httpd` should be used
|
||||
in front of eventlet.
|
||||
|
||||
You can bind to all external IPs on a non-privileged port by using
|
||||
``0.0.0.0`` in the server arguments shown in the previous section.
|
||||
Don't do this when using a reverse proxy setup, otherwise it will be
|
||||
possible to bypass the proxy.
|
||||
|
||||
``0.0.0.0`` is not a valid address to navigate to, you'd use a specific
|
||||
IP address in your browser.

Gunicorn
|
||||
========
|
||||
|
||||
`Gunicorn`_ is a pure Python WSGI server with simple configuration and
|
||||
multiple worker implementations for performance tuning.
|
||||
|
||||
* It tends to integrate easily with hosting platforms.
|
||||
* It does not support Windows (but does run on WSL).
|
||||
* It is easy to install as it does not require additional dependencies
|
||||
or compilation.
|
||||
* It has built-in async worker support using gevent or eventlet.
|
||||
|
||||
This page outlines the basics of running Gunicorn. Be sure to read its
|
||||
`documentation`_ and use ``gunicorn --help`` to understand what features
|
||||
are available.

||||

|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Installing
|
||||
----------
|
||||
|
||||
Gunicorn is easy to install, as it does not require external
|
||||
dependencies or compilation. It runs on Windows only under WSL.
|
||||
|
||||
Create a virtualenv, install your application, then install
|
||||
``gunicorn``.
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: text
|
||||
|
||||
$ cd hello-app
|
||||
$ python -m venv .venv
|
||||
$ . .venv/bin/activate
|
||||
$ pip install . # install your application
|
||||
$ pip install gunicorn
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Running
|
||||
-------
|
||||
|
||||
The only required argument to Gunicorn tells it how to load your Flask
|
||||
application. The syntax is ``{module_import}:{app_variable}``.
|
||||
``module_import`` is the dotted import name to the module with your
|
||||
application. ``app_variable`` is the variable with the application. It
|
||||
can also be a function call (with any arguments) if you're using the
|
||||
app factory pattern.
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: text
|
||||
|
||||
# equivalent to 'from hello import app'
|
||||
$ gunicorn -w 4 'hello:app'
|
||||
|
||||
# equivalent to 'from hello import create_app; create_app()'
|
||||
$ gunicorn -w 4 'hello:create_app()'
|
||||
|
||||
Starting gunicorn 20.1.0
|
||||
Listening at: http://127.0.0.1:8000 (x)
|
||||

|

Booting worker with pid: x
|
||||

|
||||
Booting worker with pid: x
|
||||
|
||||
The ``-w`` option specifies the number of processes to run; a starting
|
||||
value could be ``CPU * 2``. The default is only 1 worker, which is
|
||||
probably not what you want for the default worker type.
|
||||
|
||||
Logs for each request aren't shown by default, only worker info and
|
||||
errors are shown. To show access logs on stdout, use the
|
||||
``--access-logfile=-`` option.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Binding Externally
|
||||
------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Gunicorn should not be run as root because it would cause your
|
||||
application code to run as root, which is not secure. However, this
|
||||
means it will not be possible to bind to port 80 or 443. Instead, a
|
||||
reverse proxy such as :doc:`nginx` or :doc:`apache-httpd` should be used
|
||||
in front of Gunicorn.
|
||||
|
||||
You can bind to all external IPs on a non-privileged port using the
|
||||
``-b 0.0.0.0`` option. Don't do this when using a reverse proxy setup,
|
||||
otherwise it will be possible to bypass the proxy.
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: text
|
||||
|
||||
$ gunicorn -w 4 -b 0.0.0.0 'hello:create_app()'
|
||||
Listening at: http://0.0.0.0:8000 (x)
|
||||
|
||||
``0.0.0.0`` is not a valid address to navigate to, you'd use a specific
|
||||
IP address in your browser.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Async with gevent or eventlet
|
||||
-----------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
The default sync worker is appropriate for many use cases. If you need
|
||||
asynchronous support, Gunicorn provides workers using either `gevent`_
|
||||
or `eventlet`_. This is not the same as Python's ``async/await``, or the
|
||||
ASGI server spec. You must actually use gevent/eventlet in your own code
|
||||
to see any benefit to using the workers.
|
||||
|
||||
When using either gevent or eventlet, greenlet>=1.0 is required,
|
||||
otherwise context locals such as ``request`` will not work as expected.
|
||||
When using PyPy, PyPy>=7.3.7 is required.
|
||||
|
||||
To use gevent:
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: text
|
||||
|
||||
$ gunicorn -k gevent 'hello:create_app()'
|
||||

Deploying to Production
|
||||
=======================
|
||||
|
||||
After developing your application, you'll want to make it available
|
||||
publicly to other users. When you're developing locally, you're probably
|
||||
using the built-in development server, debugger, and reloader. These
|
||||
should not be used in production. Instead, you should use a dedicated
|
||||
WSGI server or hosting platform, some of which will be described here.
|
||||
|
||||
"Production" means "not development", which applies whether you're
|
||||
serving your application publicly to millions of users or privately /
|
||||
locally to a single user. **Do not use the development server when
|
||||
deploying to production. It is intended for use only during local
|
||||
development. It is not designed to be particularly secure, stable, or
|
||||
efficient.**
|
||||
|
||||
Self-Hosted Options
|
||||
-------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Flask is a WSGI *application*. A WSGI *server* is used to run the
|
||||
application, converting incoming HTTP requests to the standard WSGI
|
||||
environ, and converting outgoing WSGI responses to HTTP responses.
|
||||
|
||||
The primary goal of these docs is to familiarize you with the concepts
|
||||
involved in running a WSGI application using a production WSGI server
|
||||
and HTTP server. There are many WSGI servers and HTTP servers, with many
|
||||
configuration possibilities. The pages below discuss the most common
|
||||
servers, and show the basics of running each one. The next section
|
||||
discusses platforms that can manage this for you.

|
||||
|
||||
WSGI servers have HTTP servers built-in. However, a dedicated HTTP
|
||||
server may be safer, more efficient, or more capable. Putting an HTTP
|
||||
server in front of the WSGI server is called a "reverse proxy."

This list is not exhaustive, and you should evaluate these and other
|
||||
servers based on your application's needs. Different servers will have
|
||||
different capabilities, configuration, and support.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Hosting Platforms
|
||||
-----------------
|
||||
|
||||
There are many services available for hosting web applications without
|
||||
needing to maintain your own server, networking, domain, etc. Some
|
||||
services may have a free tier up to a certain time or bandwidth. Many of
|
||||
these services use one of the WSGI servers described above, or a similar
|
||||
interface. The links below are for some of the most common platforms,
|
||||
which have instructions for Flask, WSGI, or Python.
|
||||
|
||||
- `PythonAnywhere <https://help.pythonanywhere.com/pages/Flask/>`_
|
||||
- `Google App Engine <https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/standard/python3/building-app>`_
|
||||
- `Google Cloud Run <https://cloud.google.com/run/docs/quickstarts/build-and-deploy/deploy-python-service>`_
|
||||
- `AWS Elastic Beanstalk <https://docs.aws.amazon.com/elasticbeanstalk/latest/dg/create-deploy-python-flask.html>`_
|
||||
- `Microsoft Azure <https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/app-service/quickstart-python>`_
|
||||
|
||||
This list is not exhaustive, and you should evaluate these and other
|
||||
services based on your application's needs. Different services will have
|
||||
different capabilities, configuration, pricing, and support.
|
||||
|
||||
You'll probably need to :doc:`proxy_fix` when using most hosting
|
||||
platforms.

mod_wsgi
|
||||
========
|
||||
|
||||
`mod_wsgi`_ is a WSGI server integrated with the `Apache httpd`_ server.
|
||||
The modern `mod_wsgi-express`_ command makes it easy to configure and
|
||||
start the server without needing to write Apache httpd configuration.
|
||||
|
||||
* Tightly integrated with Apache httpd.
|
||||
* Supports Windows directly.
|
||||
* Requires a compiler and the Apache development headers to install.
|
||||
* Does not require a reverse proxy setup.
|
||||
|
||||
This page outlines the basics of running mod_wsgi-express, not the more
|
||||
complex installation and configuration with httpd. Be sure to read the
|
||||
`mod_wsgi-express`_, `mod_wsgi`_, and `Apache httpd`_ documentation to
|
||||
understand what features are available.
|
||||
|
||||
.. _mod_wsgi-express: https://pypi.org/project/mod-wsgi/
|
||||
.. _mod_wsgi: https://modwsgi.readthedocs.io/
|
||||
.. _Apache httpd: https://httpd.apache.org/
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Installing
|
||||
----------
|
||||
|
||||
Installing mod_wsgi requires a compiler and the Apache server and
|
||||
development headers installed. You will get an error if they are not.
|
||||
How to install them depends on the OS and package manager that you use.
|
||||
|
||||
Create a virtualenv, install your application, then install
|
||||
``mod_wsgi``.
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: text
|
||||
|
||||
$ cd hello-app
|
||||
$ python -m venv .venv
|
||||
$ . .venv/bin/activate
|
||||
$ pip install . # install your application
|
||||
$ pip install mod_wsgi
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Running
|
||||
-------
|
||||
|
||||
The only argument to ``mod_wsgi-express`` specifies a script containing
|
||||
your Flask application, which must be called ``application``. You can
|
||||
write a small script to import your app with this name, or to create it
|
||||
if using the app factory pattern.
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: python
|
||||
:caption: ``wsgi.py``
|
||||
|
||||
from hello import app
|
||||
|
||||
application = app
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: python
|
||||
:caption: ``wsgi.py``
|
||||
|
||||
from hello import create_app
|
||||
|
||||
application = create_app()
|
||||
|
||||
Now run the ``mod_wsgi-express start-server`` command.
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: text
|
||||
|
||||
$ mod_wsgi-express start-server wsgi.py --processes 4
|
||||
|
||||
The ``--processes`` option specifies the number of worker processes to
|
||||
run; a starting value could be ``CPU * 2``.
|
||||
|
||||
Logs for each request aren't show in the terminal. If an error occurs,
|
||||
its information is written to the error log file shown when starting the
|
||||
server.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Binding Externally
|
||||
------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Unlike the other WSGI servers in these docs, mod_wsgi can be run as
|
||||
root to bind to privileged ports like 80 and 443. However, it must be
|
||||
configured to drop permissions to a different user and group for the
|
||||
worker processes.
|
||||
|
||||
For example, if you created a ``hello`` user and group, you should
|
||||
install your virtualenv and application as that user, then tell
|
||||
mod_wsgi to drop to that user after starting.
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: text
|
||||
|
||||
$ sudo /home/hello/.venv/bin/mod_wsgi-express start-server \
|
||||
/home/hello/wsgi.py \
|
||||
--user hello --group hello --port 80 --processes 4
