how to access app.config globally in flask app
In order to access the app.config globally in a Flask app, you can follow the following steps:
- Import the Flask module and create an instance of the Flask class:
```python from flask import Flask
app = Flask(name) ```
- Create a configuration file for your Flask app. This file should contain the necessary configuration variables. For example, you can create a file named
config.py
with the following content:
python
DEBUG = True
SECRET_KEY = 'your_secret_key'
DATABASE_URI = 'your_database_uri'
- Load the configuration file in your Flask app using the
app.config.from_pyfile()
method. This will load the configuration variables from theconfig.py
file:
python
app.config.from_pyfile('config.py')
- You can now access the configuration variables globally within your Flask app. For example, to access the
DEBUG
variable, you can useapp.config['DEBUG']
:
python
@app.route('/')
def home():
debug_value = app.config['DEBUG']
# Rest of your code
Similarly, you can access other configuration variables like SECRET_KEY
and DATABASE_URI
using app.config['SECRET_KEY']
and app.config['DATABASE_URI']
respectively.
By following these steps, you will be able to access the app.config
globally in your Flask app, allowing you to use the configuration variables throughout your code.
