flask.Flask.route¶

Flask.route(rule, **options)[source]¶

A decorator that is used to register a view function for a given URL rule. This does the same thing as add_url_rule() but is intended for decorator usage:

@app.route('/')
def index():
    return 'Hello World'

For more information refer to URL Route Registrations.

Parameters:

rule – the URL rule as string endpoint – the endpoint for the registered URL rule. Flask itself assumes the name of the view function as endpoint options – the options to be forwarded to the underlying 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.
