Flask-Classful
==============

Flask-Classful is an extension that adds class-based views to [Flask][].
Class-based views are a way to encapsulate specific context and behavior for
routes and methods, complementing Flask's blueprints. They provide a more
powerful system than Flask's own `MethodView`.

A Basic Example
---------------

This example defines a few routes by defining methods on a subclass of
`flask_classful.FlaskView`.

```python
# example.py
import random
from flask import Flask, abort
from flask_classful import FlaskView

quotes = [
"A noble spirit embiggens the smallest man! ~ Jebediah Springfield",
"If there is a way to do it better... find it. ~ Thomas Edison",
"No one knows what he can do till he tries. ~ Publilius Syrus"
]

app = Flask(__name__)

class QuotesView(FlaskView):
def index(self):
return "
".join(quotes)

def get(self, id):
id = int(id)

if id < len(quotes):
return quotes[id]

abort(404)

def random(self):
return random.choice(quotes)

QuotesView.register(app)
```

```
$ flask -A example run --debug
```

- http://127.0.0.1:5000/quotes/ shows all the quotes.
- http://127.0.0.1:5000/quotes/1/ shows a single quote.
- http://127.0.0.1:5000/quotes/random/ shows a random quote.

Forked from Flask-Classy
