Flask-Verbs

Nice syntax to help Flask work with HTTP verbs, an important part of a RESTful breakfest.

We're licensed the same as Flask (BSD 3-clause), so no worries.

After installing the extension (Verbs(app)), your application will get a new method .verbs which works very similarly to the normal .route method, but it will instead decorate a whole class. All-caps methods on a .verbs-decorated class will be used to respond to requests of the corresponding HTTP method.

@app.verbs('/login')
class Login:
    def __init__(self):
        self.form = LoginForm()

    def GET(self):
        return render_template('login.html', form=self.form)

    def POST(self):
        if self.form.validate():
            # authenticate
            return redirect(url_for('index'))
        else:
            return self.GET()

If the class has a .pre method, it will be called before dealing with the HTTP method. If pre returns anything other than None, then that value will be used as the return value from the view, and the HTTP method will be skipped.

This extension should play nice with others. In particular, you should be able to use decorators on .verbs-enabled classes and on their methods. If you experience problems or have questions, submit a bug report.
