flouter 0.0.1.dev0

Convenient routing for a flask application

Flouter (Flask Router) is a convenience add-on for the Flask library. It converts a directory structure into valid routes for a Flask application. This allows developers to quickly layout complex applications, and easily navigate to existing code. This library is under heavy development and may not yet support a feature you need. If that is the case, please submit a feature request so the library can continue to improve.

Installing

Install and update using pip:

pip install -U flouter

Basic Usage

Flouter will convert the following routes directory structure…

routes/
|-- api/
    |-- index.py
    |-- echo.py
    |-- _foo.py

…to the corresponding routes in a flask application.

/api/
/api/echo/
/api/<foo>

In one of these files, methods are defined by simple named functions that are called when the appropriate HTTP request is passed to the route.

# echo.py

def get():
    return 'Hello World'

def post(request):
    # returns are turned into valid responses by the library
    return request
