# Flask Native Stubs

[δΈ­ζ–‡η‰ˆ](https://blog.csdn.net/Likianta/article/details/125252446)

Call flask decorated functions like native ones.

Overall workflow:

1. Create server side functions, use `@app.auto_route(...)` instead of `@app.route(...)`.
2. In server side, finally call `app.generate_stubs(...)` instead of `app.run(...)`. -- This creates a "stubs" folder that contains all magic routes.
3. Copy generated stubs (folder) to client side.
4. Client imports stub files and use them like native functions.

## Installation

```
pip install flask-native-stubs
```

The latest version is 0.4.2+.

## Quick Start

Example for guide through:

```
demo
|= server
|- main.py
|= client
|- main.py
```

1. `server/main.py` source code:

```python
from flask_native_stubs import app

@app.auto_route()
def hello(a: int, b: str, c: float) -> list:
# type annotations are optional, but recommended.
return [a, b, c]

if __name__ == '__main__':
app.generate_stubs(
dir_i='.',
dir_o='./stubs',
)
# app.run('localhost', 5000)
```

2. Run `server/main.py` and get "stubs" folder like below:

```
demo
|= server
|= stubs # <- generated stubs
|- __init__.py
|- main.py # <- a `hello` function is defined in it.
|- main.py
|= client
|- main.py
```

2. Move "stubs" folder to client side:

```
demo
|= server
|- main.py
|= client
|= stubs
|- __init__.py
|- main.py # <- a `hello` function is defined in it.
|- main.py
```

3. Write your client side code:

'client/main.py':

```python
from flask_native_stubs import setup_client
from .stubs import main as server_stubs

# note: you may ask the server admin to get the ip address.
setup_client('localhost', 5000)

def main():
response = server_stubs.hello(a=123, b='456', c=7.89)
# the IDE works well with type hints.
print(response) # -> [123, '456', 7.89]

if __name__ == '__main__':
main()
```

## More examples

Please go to `examples` folder, follow `examples/readme.md` to run them.

## How it works

This project is inspired by swagger codegen.

I want to get both typing annotations support and the convenience of native functions calling style. So let the mechanism works by some delegate hooks underlay.

Here are a few comparisons between swagger and flask-native-stubs:

- Workflow:
- Swagger:
1. Draw a blueprint by configuration files;
2. Generate template code;
3. Override templates to implement server and client logics.
- Flask-native-stubs:
1. We have implemented a flask app;
2. Now generate stub files;
3. Let the client side interact with stubs.

## Cautions

- Do not use `*args` and `**kwargs` in decorated functions:

```python
# don't
@app.auto_route()
def xxx(a, b, c, *args, d=1, e=None, **kwargs):
...
```
