# Flask_restx_Shutdown
Sample of Building [flask_restx](https://flask-restx.readthedocs.io/en/latest/) Server with test Browser and Closing From Resource
There are some edge cases where the web server needs to be shut down by the request handler in a Flask application.
This sample uses [flask_restx](https://flask-restx.readthedocs.io/en/latest/) and passes a shutdown method to selected Resource to allow it to shut down the web server. This example launches a Web Server and a web browser and will automatically close the web server and/or browser if the user presses a button or closes the web browser.
It may seem contrived but this is a good example of where some testing can be done which requires user interaction and a web browser session.
This sample can be seen as a possible workaround for the deprecation of [`werkzeug.server.shutdown`](https://github.com/pallets/werkzeug/issues/1752) although, this does require running all resources through [flask_restx](https://flask-restx.readthedocs.io/en/latest/) .
To run:
```python3 sample.py```
This code was written to run on Linux. Should work ok on MacOS and although not tested, it will likely not work on windows.
