Flask-Deprecate

Easy decorators for deprecating flask views and blueprints

• Free software: MIT license

• Documentation: https://flask-deprecate.readthedocs.io.

Example

from flask import Flask, Response

from flask_deprecate import deprecate_view

app = Flask('myapp')

@app.route('/myroute')
@deprecate_view("Don't use this!")
def myroute():
    return Response()

An HTTP compliant “Warning” header is injected indicating the route is deprecated and optionally providing an upgrade path.

You can also deprecate an entire blueprint in favor of a new one

from flask import Flask, Response, Blueprint

from flask_deprecate import deprecate_blueprint

old_bp = Blueprint('old', 'old', url_prefix='/v1')
new_bp = Blueprint('new', 'new', url_prefix='/v2')

@old_bp.route('/my_route')
def my_old_route():
    return Resonse()

@new_bp.route('/my_new_route')
def my_new_route():
    return Response()

deprecate_blueprint(old_bp, new_blueprint=new_bp)
app.register_blueprint(old_bp)
app.register_blueprint(new_bp)

This will inject the Warning header for every route on the old blueprint and additionally direct the client to use the new /v2 api.
