Enable Regex Routes within Flask
pip install flask-reggie
To enable regex routes within your application
from flask import Flask
from flask_reggie import Reggie
app = Flask(__name__)
Reggie(app)
or
from flask import Flask
from flask_reggie import Reggie
reggie = Reggie()
def create_app():
app = Flask(__name__)
reggie.init_app(app)
return app
If we were looking to have a UUID supplied as a view argument, we would follow this pattern
@app.route('/<regex("[0-9a-f]{32}"):uuid>')
def example(uuid):
return uuid
As you can see, we are able to supply a regular expression, and have it passed as a view argument.
Simple.
- Check for open issues or open a fresh issue to start a discussion around a feature idea or a bug. There is a Contributor Friendly tag for issues that should be ideal for people who are not very familiar with the codebase yet.
- Fork the repository on Github to start making your changes to the master branch (or branch off of it).
- Write a test which shows that the bug was fixed or that the feature works as expected.
- Send a pull request and bug the maintainer until it gets merged and published.
