flask decorator causes views to be named the same thing
- Import the Flask module:
from flask import Flask
- Create an instance of the Flask class:
app = Flask(__name__)
- Define a view function using the
@app.route
decorator:
@app.route('/')
def view1():
return 'View 1'
- Define another view function using the same decorator:
@app.route('/')
def view2():
return 'View 2'
Explanation:
- The Flask
class is imported from the flask
module.
- An instance of the Flask
class is created with app = Flask(__name__)
. The __name__
argument is a special variable that helps Flask determine the root path of the application.
- The @app.route
decorator is used to associate a URL with a view function. In this case, both view1
and view2
are associated with the root URL '/'
.
- However, using the same decorator for both functions causes the second view function (view2
) to overwrite the first one (view1
). As a result, only the second view function will be registered for the specified route.
Note: This code will cause issues as both views have the same route. It's important to use unique routes for different view functions to avoid conflicts.
