RouteUUID

RouteUUID is a Flask extension that allows you to differentiate between various UUID versions in your routes.

Features

• UUID Version Differentiation
  Use specific URL converters to ensure that the UUID in the route matches the expected version.

UUID Version	Converter	Provider	Observation
UUID	<uuid:...>	werkzeug	Native; does not distinguish version
UUID v1	<uuid1:...>	routeuuid
UUID v2	<uuid2:...>		Not Implemented
UUID v3	<uuid3:...>	routeuuid
UUID v4	<uuid4:...>	routeuuid
UUID v5	<uuid5:...>	routeuuid

Installation

You can install RouteUUID via pip:

pip install routeuuid

Below is a simple example of how to use RouteUUID in your Flask application:

from uuid import UUID
from flask import Flask
from routeuuid import RouteUUID

app = Flask(__name__)

# Register the custom UUID converters in the Flask app.
RouteUUID(app)

# Or:
#
# route_uuid = RouteUUID()
# ...
# route_uuid.init_app(app)

@app.route("/item/<uuid4:item_id>")
def get_item_v4(item_id: UUID):
    return f"Item ID (UUID v4): {item_id}"

@app.route("/item/<uuid1:item_id")
def get_item_v1(item_id: UUID):
    return f"Item ID (UUID v1): {item_id}"

if __name__ == "__main__":
    app.run(debug=True)

In this example, the route /item/<uuid4:item_id> will only accept strings that conform to the format of a UUID version 4.
