-Unreleased
-
--   Drop support for Python 3.9. :pr:`5730`
--   Remove previously deprecated code: ``__version__``. :pr:`5648`
--   ``RequestContext`` has merged with ``AppContext``. ``RequestContext`` is now
-    a deprecated alias. If an app context is already pushed, it is not reused
-    when dispatching a request. This greatly simplifies the internal code for tracking
-    the active context. :issue:`5639`
--   Many ``Flask`` methods involved in request dispatch now take the current
-    ``AppContext`` as the first parameter, instead of using the proxy objects.
-    If subclasses were overriding these methods, the old signature is detected,
-    shows a deprecation warning, and will continue to work during the
-    deprecation period. :issue:`5815`
--   All teardown callbacks are called, even if any raise an error. :pr:`5928`
--   The ``should_ignore_error`` is deprecated. Handle errors as needed in
-    teardown handlers instead. :issue:`5816`
--   ``template_filter``, ``template_test``, and ``template_global`` decorators
-    can be used without parentheses. :issue:`5729`
--   ``redirect`` returns a ``303`` status code by default instead of ``302``.
-    This tells the client to always switch to ``GET``, rather than only
-    switching ``POST`` to ``GET``. This preserves the current behavior of
-    ``GET`` and ``POST`` redirects, and is also correct for frontend libraries
-    such as HTMX. :issue:`5895`
--   ``provide_automatic_options=True`` can be used to enable it for a view when
-    it's disabled in config. Previously, only disabling worked. :issue:`5916`
--   ``Flask.select_jinja_autoescape`` uses case-insensitive comparison instead
-    of only lower case file extensions. :pr:`6012`

 Purpose of the Context
 ----------------------
 
-The context and proxies help solve two development issues: circular imports, and
-passing around global data during a request.
+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.
 
-When the application handles a request, it creates a :class:`.Request` object.
-Because a *worker* handles only one request at a time, the request data can be
-considered global to that worker during that request. Passing it as an argument
-through every function during the request becomes verbose and redundant.
+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 solves these issues with the *active context* pattern. Rather than
-importing an ``app`` directly, or having to pass it and the request through to
-every single function, you import and access the proxies, which point to the
-currently active application and request data. This is sometimes referred to
-as "context local" data.
+Flask will also automatically push an app context when running CLI
+commands registered with :attr:`Flask.cli` using ``@app.cli.command()``.
 
 
-Context During Setup

+Lifetime of the Context
+-----------------------
 
-If you try to access :data:`.current_app`, :data:`.g`, or anything that uses it,
-outside an app context, you'll get this error message:
+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.

-Context During Testing
-----------------------
+Storing Data
+------------
 
-See :doc:`/testing` for detailed information about managing the context during
-tests.
+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.
 
-If you try to access :data:`.request`, :data:`.session`, or anything that uses
-it, outside a request context, you'll get this error message:
+.. 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.
 
-.. code-block:: pytb
+A common use for :data:`g` is to manage resources during a request.
 
-    RuntimeError: Working outside of request context.
+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.
 
-    Attempted to use functionality that expected an active HTTP request. See the
-    documentation on request context for more information.
+For example, you can manage a database connection using this pattern::

+        if 'db' not in g:
+            g.db = connect_to_database()
 
-If you only want to unit test one function, rather than a full request, use
-:meth:`.Flask.test_request_context` in a ``with`` block.
+        return g.db
 
-.. code-block:: python

+    def teardown_db(exception):
+        db = g.pop('db', None)

-        "/make_report/2017", query_string={"format": "short"}
-    ):
-        generate_report()
+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.
 
 
-.. _context-visibility:
+Events and Signals
+------------------
 
-Visibility of the Context
--------------------------
+The application will call functions registered with :meth:`~Flask.teardown_appcontext`
+when the application context is popped.
 
-The context will have the same lifetime as an activity, such as a request, CLI
-command, or ``with`` block. Various callbacks and signals registered with the
-app will be run during the context.
-
-When a Flask application handles a request, it pushes a request context
-to set the active application and request data. When it handles a CLI command,
-it pushes an app context to set the active application. When the activity ends,
-it pops that context. Proxy objects like :data:`.request`, :data:`.session`,
-:data:`.g`, and :data:`.current_app`, are accessible while the context is pushed
-and active, and are not accessible after the context is popped.
-
-The context is unique to each thread (or other worker type). The proxies cannot
-be passed to another worker, which has a different context space and will not
-know about the active context in the parent's space.
-
-Besides being scoped to each worker, the proxy object has a separate type and
-identity than the proxied real object. In some cases you'll need access to the
-real object, rather than the proxy. Use the
-:meth:`~.LocalProxy._get_current_object` method in those cases.
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-    app = current_app._get_current_object()
-    my_signal.send(app)
-
-
-Lifecycle of the Context
-------------------------
-
-Flask dispatches a request in multiple stages which can affect the request,
-response, and how errors are handled. See :doc:`/lifecycle` for a list of all
-the steps, callbacks, and signals during each request. The following are the
-steps directly related to the context.
-
--   The app context is pushed, the proxies are available.
--   The :data:`.appcontext_pushed` signal is sent.
--   The request is dispatched.
--   Any :meth:`.Flask.teardown_request` decorated functions are called.
--   The :data:`.request_tearing_down` signal is sent.
--   Any :meth:`.Flask.teardown_appcontext` decorated functions are called.
--   The :data:`.appcontext_tearing_down` signal is sent.
--   The app context is popped, the proxies are no longer available.
--   The :data:`.appcontext_popped` signal is sent.
-
-The teardown callbacks are called by the context when it is popped. They are
-called even if there is an unhandled exception during dispatch. They may be
-called multiple times in some test scenarios. This means there is no guarantee
-that any other parts of the request dispatch have run. Be sure to write these
-functions in a way that does not depend on other callbacks. All callbacks are
-called even if any raise an error.
-
-
-How the Context Works
----------------------
-
-Context locals are implemented using Python's :mod:`contextvars` and Werkzeug's
-:class:`~werkzeug.local.LocalProxy`. Python's contextvars are a low level
-structure to manage data local to a thread or coroutine. ``LocalProxy`` wraps
-the contextvar so that access to any attributes and methods is forwarded to the
-object stored in the contextvar.
-
-The context is tracked like a stack, with the active context at the top of the
-stack. Flask manages pushing and popping contexts during requests, CLI commands,
-testing, ``with`` blocks, etc. The proxies access attributes on the active
-context.
-
-Because it is a stack, other contexts may be pushed to change the proxies during
-an already active context. This is not a common pattern, but can be used in
-advanced use cases. For example, a Flask application can be used as WSGI
-middleware, calling another wrapped Flask app from a view.
+The following signals are sent: :data:`appcontext_pushed`,
+:data:`appcontext_tearing_down`, and :data:`appcontext_popped`.

+Context Locals
+``````````````
+
+.. admonition:: Insider Information
+
+   If you want to understand how that works and how you can implement
+   tests with context locals, read this section, otherwise just skip it.
+
+Certain objects in Flask are global objects, but not of the usual kind.
+These objects are actually proxies to objects that are local to a specific
+context.  What a mouthful.  But that is actually quite easy to understand.
+
+Imagine the context being the handling thread.  A request comes in and the
+web server decides to spawn a new thread (or something else, the
+underlying object is capable of dealing with concurrency systems other
+than threads).  When Flask starts its internal request handling it
+figures out that the current thread is the active context and binds the
+current application and the WSGI environments to that context (thread).
+It does that in an intelligent way so that one application can invoke another
+application without breaking.
+
+So what does this mean to you?  Basically you can completely ignore that
+this is the case unless you are doing something like unit testing.  You
+will notice that code which depends on a request object will suddenly break
+because there is no request object.  The solution is creating a request
+object yourself and binding it to the context.  The easiest solution for
+unit testing is to use the :meth:`~flask.Flask.test_request_context`
+context manager.  In combination with the ``with`` statement it will bind a
+test request so that you can interact with it.  Here is an example::
 
     from flask import request
 
-If you have some experience with Python you might be wondering how that object
-can be global when Flask handles multiple requests at a time. The answer is
-that :data:`.request` is actually a proxy, pointing at whatever request is

-and Python. See :doc:`/appcontext` for much more information.

+        assert request.method == 'POST'
 
-The current request method is available in the :attr:`~.Request.method`

+The Request Object
+``````````````````
+
+The request object is documented in the API section and we will not cover
+it here in detail (see :class:`~flask.Request`). Here is a broad overview of
+some of the most common operations.  First of all you have to import it from
+the ``flask`` module::
+
+    from flask import request
+
+The current request method is available by using the
+:attr:`~flask.Request.method` attribute.  To access form data (data
+transmitted in a ``POST`` or ``PUT`` request) you can use the
+:attr:`~flask.Request.form` attribute.  Here is a full example of the two
+attributes mentioned above::
+
+    @app.route('/login', methods=['POST', 'GET'])
     def login():
         error = None
-
-        if request.method == "POST":
-            if valid_login(request.form["username"], request.form["password"]):
-                return store_login(request.form["username"])
+        if request.method == 'POST':
+            if valid_login(request.form['username'],
+                           request.form['password']):
+                return log_the_user_in(request.form['username'])
             else:
-                error = "Invalid username or password"
+                error = 'Invalid username/password'
+        # the code below is executed if the request method
+        # was GET or the credentials were invalid
+        return render_template('login.html', error=error)
 
-        # Executed if the request method was GET or the credentials were invalid.
-        return render_template("login.html", error=error)
+What happens if the key does not exist in the ``form`` attribute?  In that
+case a special :exc:`KeyError` is raised.  You can catch it like a
+standard :exc:`KeyError` but if you don't do that, a HTTP 400 Bad Request
+error page is shown instead.  So for many situations you don't have to
+deal with that problem.

 The Request Context
 ===================
 
-Obsolete, see :doc:`/appcontext` instead.
+The request context keeps track of the request-level data during a
+request. Rather than passing the request object to each function that
+runs during a request, the :data:`request` and :data:`session` proxies
+are accessed instead.
+
+This is similar to :doc:`/appcontext`, which keeps track of the
+application-level data independent of a request. A corresponding
+application context is pushed when a request context is pushed.
+
+
+Purpose of the Context
+----------------------
+
+When the :class:`Flask` application handles a request, it creates a
+:class:`Request` object based on the environment it received from the
+WSGI server. Because a *worker* (thread, process, or coroutine depending
+on the server) handles only one request at a time, the request data can
+be considered global to that worker during that request. Flask uses the
+term *context local* for this.
+
+Flask automatically *pushes* a request context when handling a request.
+View functions, error handlers, and other functions that run during a
+request will have access to the :data:`request` proxy, which points to
+the request object for the current request.
+
+
+Lifetime of the Context
+-----------------------
+
+When a Flask application begins handling a request, it pushes a request
+context, which also pushes an :doc:`app context </appcontext>`. When the
+request ends it pops the request context then the application context.
+
+The context is unique to each thread (or other worker type).
+:data:`request` cannot be passed to another thread, the other thread has
+a different context space and will not know about the request the parent
+thread was pointing to.
+
+Context locals are implemented using Python's :mod:`contextvars` and
+Werkzeug's :class:`~werkzeug.local.LocalProxy`. Python manages the
+lifetime of context vars automatically, and local proxy wraps that
+low-level interface to make the data easier to work with.
+
+
+Manually Push a Context
+-----------------------
+
+If you try to access :data:`request`, or anything that uses it, outside
+a request context, you'll get this error message:
+
+.. code-block:: pytb
+
+    RuntimeError: Working outside of request context.
+
+    This typically means that you attempted to use functionality that
+    needed an active HTTP request. Consult the documentation on testing
+    for information about how to avoid this problem.
+
+This should typically only happen when testing code that expects an
+active request. One option is to use the
+:meth:`test client <Flask.test_client>` to simulate a full request. Or
+you can use :meth:`~Flask.test_request_context` in a ``with`` block, and
+everything that runs in the block will have access to :data:`request`,
+populated with your test data. ::
+
+    def generate_report(year):
+        format = request.args.get("format")
+        ...
+
+    with app.test_request_context(
+        "/make_report/2017", query_string={"format": "short"}
+    ):
+        generate_report()
+
+If you see that error somewhere else in your code not related to
+testing, it most likely indicates that you should move that code into a
+view function.
+
+For information on how to use the request context from the interactive
+Python shell, see :doc:`/shell`.
+
+
+How the Context Works
+---------------------
+
+The :meth:`Flask.wsgi_app` method is called to handle each request. It
+manages the contexts during the request. Internally, the request and
+application contexts work like stacks. When contexts are pushed, the
+proxies that depend on them are available and point at information from
+the top item.
+
+When the request starts, a :class:`~ctx.RequestContext` is created and
+pushed, which creates and pushes an :class:`~ctx.AppContext` first if
+a context for that application is not already the top context. While
+these contexts are pushed, the :data:`current_app`, :data:`g`,
+:data:`request`, and :data:`session` proxies are available to the
+original thread handling the request.
+
+Other contexts may be pushed to change the proxies during a request.
+While this is not a common pattern, it can be used in advanced
+applications to, for example, do internal redirects or chain different
+applications together.
+
+After the request is dispatched and a response is generated and sent,
+the request context is popped, which then pops the application context.
+Immediately before they are popped, the :meth:`~Flask.teardown_request`
+and :meth:`~Flask.teardown_appcontext` functions are executed. These
+execute even if an unhandled exception occurred during dispatch.
+
+
+.. _callbacks-and-errors:
+
+Callbacks and Errors
+--------------------
+
+Flask dispatches a request in multiple stages which can affect the
+request, response, and how errors are handled. The contexts are active
+during all of these stages.
+
+A :class:`Blueprint` can add handlers for these events that are specific
+to the blueprint. The handlers for a blueprint will run if the blueprint
+owns the route that matches the request.
+
+#.  Before each request, :meth:`~Flask.before_request` functions are
+    called. If one of these functions return a value, the other
+    functions are skipped. The return value is treated as the response
+    and the view function is not called.
+
+#.  If the :meth:`~Flask.before_request` functions did not return a
+    response, the view function for the matched route is called and
+    returns a response.
+
+#.  The return value of the view is converted into an actual response
+    object and passed to the :meth:`~Flask.after_request`
+    functions. Each function returns a modified or new response object.
+
+#.  After the response is returned, the contexts are popped, which calls
+    the :meth:`~Flask.teardown_request` and
+    :meth:`~Flask.teardown_appcontext` functions. These functions are
+    called even if an unhandled exception was raised at any point above.
+
+If an exception is raised before the teardown functions, Flask tries to
+match it with an :meth:`~Flask.errorhandler` function to handle the
+exception and return a response. If no error handler is found, or the
+handler itself raises an exception, Flask returns a generic
+``500 Internal Server Error`` response. The teardown functions are still
+called, and are passed the exception object.
+
+If debug mode is enabled, unhandled exceptions are not converted to a
+``500`` response and instead are propagated to the WSGI server. This
+allows the development server to present the interactive debugger with
+the traceback.
+
+
+Teardown Callbacks
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The teardown callbacks are independent of the request dispatch, and are
+instead called by the contexts when they are popped. The functions are
+called even if there is an unhandled exception during dispatch, and for
+manually pushed contexts. This means there is no guarantee that any
+other parts of the request dispatch have run first. Be sure to write
+these functions in a way that does not depend on other callbacks and
+will not fail.
+
+During testing, it can be useful to defer popping the contexts after the
+request ends, so that their data can be accessed in the test function.
+Use the :meth:`~Flask.test_client` as a ``with`` block to preserve the
+contexts until the ``with`` block exits.
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    from flask import Flask, request
+
+    app = Flask(__name__)
+
+    @app.route('/')
+    def hello():
+        print('during view')
+        return 'Hello, World!'
+
+    @app.teardown_request
+    def show_teardown(exception):
+        print('after with block')
+
+    with app.test_request_context():
+        print('during with block')
+
+    # teardown functions are called after the context with block exits
+
+    with app.test_client() as client:
+        client.get('/')
+        # the contexts are not popped even though the request ended
+        print(request.path)
+
+    # the contexts are popped and teardown functions are called after
+    # the client with block exits
+
+Signals
+~~~~~~~
+
+The following signals are sent:
+
+#.  :data:`request_started` is sent before the :meth:`~Flask.before_request` functions
+    are called.
+#.  :data:`request_finished` is sent after the :meth:`~Flask.after_request` functions
+    are called.
+#.  :data:`got_request_exception` is sent when an exception begins to be handled, but
+    before an :meth:`~Flask.errorhandler` is looked up or called.

+Notes On Proxies
+----------------
+
+Some of the objects provided by Flask are proxies to other objects. The
+proxies are accessed in the same way for each worker thread, but
+point to the unique object bound to each worker behind the scenes as
+described on this page.
+
+Most of the time you don't have to care about that, but there are some
+exceptions where it is good to know that this object is actually a proxy:
+
+-   The proxy objects cannot fake their type as the actual object types.
+    If you want to perform instance checks, you have to do that on the
+    object being proxied.
+-   The reference to the proxied object is needed in some situations,
+    such as sending :doc:`signals` or passing data to a background
+    thread.
+
+If you need to access the underlying object that is proxied, use the

-shell with some setup done to make working with the Flask app easier.
+.. versionadded:: 0.3
 
-.. code-block:: text
+One of the reasons everybody loves Python is the interactive shell.  It
+basically allows you to execute Python commands in real time and
+immediately get results back.  Flask itself does not come with an
+interactive shell, because it does not require any specific setup upfront,
+just import your application and start playing around.
 
-    $ flask shell
+There are however some handy helpers to make playing around in the shell a
+more pleasant experience.  The main issue with interactive console
+sessions is that you're not triggering a request like a browser does which
+means that :data:`~flask.g`, :data:`~flask.request` and others are not
+available.  But the code you want to test might depend on them, so what
+can you do?
+
+This is where some helper functions come in handy.  Keep in mind however
+that these functions are not only there for interactive shell usage, but
+also for unit testing and other situations that require a faked request
+context.
+
+Generally it's recommended that you read :doc:`reqcontext` first.
+
+Command Line Interface
+----------------------
+
+Starting with Flask 0.11 the recommended way to work with the shell is the
+``flask shell`` command which does a lot of this automatically for you.
+For instance the shell is automatically initialized with a loaded
+application context.
+
+For more information see :doc:`/cli`.
 
 Creating a Request Context
 --------------------------
 
-``flask shell`` pushes an app context automatically, so :data:`.current_app` and
-:data:`.g` are already available. However, there is no HTTP request being
-handled in the shell, so :data:`.request` and :data:`.session` are not yet
-available.
-
 The easiest way to create a proper request context from the shell is by
 using the :attr:`~flask.Flask.test_request_context` method which creates
 us a :class:`~flask.ctx.RequestContext`:
 
 >>> ctx = app.test_request_context()
 
-Normally you would use the ``with`` statement to make this context active, but
-in the shell it's easier to call :meth:`~.RequestContext.push` and
-:meth:`~.RequestContext.pop` manually:

-Registering Filters, Tests, and Globals
----------------------------------------
+Registering Filters
+-------------------
 
-The Flask app and blueprints provide decorators and methods to register your own
-filters, tests, and global functions for use in Jinja templates. They all follow
-the same pattern, so the following examples only discuss filters.
+If you want to register your own filters in Jinja you have two ways to do
+that.  You can either put them by hand into the
+:attr:`~flask.Flask.jinja_env` of the application or use the
+:meth:`~flask.Flask.template_filter` decorator.
 
-Decorate a function with :meth:`~.Flask.template_filter` to register it as a
-template filter.
+The two following examples work the same and both reverse an object::
 
-.. code-block:: python
+    @app.template_filter('reverse')
+    def reverse_filter(s):
+        return s[::-1]
 
-    @app.template_filter
-    def reverse(s):
-        return reversed(s)
+    def reverse_filter(s):
+        return s[::-1]
+    app.jinja_env.filters['reverse'] = reverse_filter
 
-.. code-block:: jinja
+In case of the decorator the argument is optional if you want to use the
+function name as name of the filter.  Once registered, you can use the filter
+in your templates in the same way as Jinja's builtin filters, for example if
+you have a Python list in context called `mylist`::
 
-    {% for item in data | reverse %}
+    {% for x in mylist | reverse %}
     {% endfor %}
 
-By default it will use the name of the function as the name of the filter, but
-that can be changed by passing a name to the decorator.
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-    @app.template_filter("reverse")
-    def reverse_filter(s):
-        return reversed(s)
-
-A filter can be registered separately using :meth:`~.Flask.add_template_filter`.
-The name is optional and will use the function name if not given.
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-    def reverse_filter(s):
-        return reversed(s)
-
-    app.add_template_filter(reverse_filter, "reverse")
-
-For template tests, use the :meth:`~.Flask.template_test` decorator or
-:meth:`~.Flask.add_template_test` method. For template global functions, use the
-:meth:`~.Flask.template_global` decorator or :meth:`~.Flask.add_template_global`
-method.
-
-The same methods also exist on :class:`.Blueprint`, prefixed with ``app_`` to
-indicate that the registered functions will be available to all templates, not
-only when rendering from within the blueprint.
-
-The Jinja environment is also available as :attr:`~.Flask.jinja_env`. It may be
-modified directly, as you would when using Jinja outside Flask.
