Bases: Scaffold

The web framework class, handles requests and returns responses.

The primary method from a serving viewpoint is handle_request(), from an application viewpoint all the other methods are vital.

This can be extended in many ways, with most methods designed with this in mind. Additionally any of the classes listed as attributes can be replaced.

app_ctx_globals_class#: The class to use for the g object

asgi_http_class#

The class to use to handle the ASGI HTTP protocol.

Type:: Type[ASGIHTTPProtocol]

The class to use to handle the ASGI websocket protocol.

Type:: Type[ASGIWebsocketProtocol]

config_class#: The class to use for the configuration.

env#: The name of the environment the app is running on.

debug#: Wrapper around configuration DEBUG value, in many places this will result in more output if True. If unset, debug mode will be activated if environ is set to ‘development’.

jinja_environment#: The class to use for the jinja environment.

jinja_options#

The default options to set when creating the jinja environment.

Type:: dict

session_interface#: The class to use as the session interface.

url_map_class#: The class to map rules to endpoints.

url_rule_class#: The class to use for URL rules.

view_func – Callable that returns a response.
provide_automatic_options – Optionally False to prevent OPTION handling.
methods – List of HTTP verbs the function routes.
defaults –
A dictionary of variables to provide automatically, use to provide a simpler default path for a route, e.g. to allow for /book rather than /book/0,
```
@app.route('/book', defaults={'page': 0})
@app.route('/book/<int:page>')
def book(page):
    ...
```
host – The full host name for this route (should include subdomain if needed) - cannot be used with subdomain.

after_request_funcs: Dict[AppOrBlueprintKey, List[AfterRequestCallable]]#

after_serving(func: Union[Callable[[], None], Callable[[], Awaitable[None]]]) → Callable[[], Awaitable[None]]#

Add a after serving function.

This will allow the function provided to be called once after anything is served (after last byte is sent).

This is designed to be used as a decorator, if used to decorate a synchronous function, the function will be wrapped in run_sync() and run in a thread executor (with the wrapped function returned). An example usage,

@app.after_serving
async def func():
    ...

Parameters:: func – The function itself.

after_serving_funcs: List[Callable[[], Awaitable[None]]]#

after_websocket_funcs: Dict[AppOrBlueprintKey, List[AfterWebsocketCallable]]#

app_context() → AppContext#

This is best used within a context, i.e.

This handles ASGI calls, it can be wrapped in middleware.

When using middleware with Quart it is preferable to wrap this method rather than the app itself. This is to ensure that the app is an instance of this class - which allows the quart cli to work correctly. To use this feature simply do,

app.asgi_app = middleware(app.asgi_app)

test_request_context(path: str, *, method: str = 'GET', headers: ~typing.Optional[~typing.Union[dict, ~werkzeug.datastructures.Headers]] = None, query_string: ~typing.Optional[dict] = None, scheme: str = 'http', send_push_promise: ~typing.Callable[[str, ~werkzeug.datastructures.Headers], ~typing.Awaitable[None]] = <function no_op_push>, data: ~typing.Optional[AnyStr] = None, form: ~typing.Optional[dict] = None, json: ~typing.Any = <object object>, root_path: str = '', http_version: str = '1.1', scope_base: ~typing.Optional[dict] = None, auth: ~typing.Optional[~typing.Union[~werkzeug.datastructures.Authorization, ~typing.Tuple[str, str]]] = None) → RequestContext#

Create a request context for testing purposes.

This is best used for testing code within request contexts. It is a simplified wrapper of request_context(). It is best used in a with block, i.e.

async with app.test_request_context("/", method="GET"):
    ...

Parameters:

path – Request path.
method – HTTP verb
headers – Headers to include in the request.
query_string – To send as a dictionary, alternatively the query_string can be determined from the path.
scheme – Scheme for the request, default http.

testing#

Implements a property descriptor for objects with a config attribute.

When used as a class instance it will look up the key on the class config object, for example:

class Object:
    config = {}
    foo = ConfigAttribute('foo')

obj = Object()
obj.foo = 'bob'
assert obj.foo == obj.config['foo']

trap_http_exception(error: Exception) → bool#

Check it error is http and should be trapped.

Trapped errors are not handled by the handle_http_exception(), but instead trapped by the outer most (or user handlers). This can be useful when debugging to allow tracebacks to be viewed by the debug page.

async try_trigger_before_first_request_functions() → None#: Trigger the before first request methods.

async update_template_context(context: dict) → None#

Update the provided template context.

This adds additional context from the various template context processors.

Parameters:: context – The context to update (mutate).

url_value_preprocessors: Dict[AppOrBlueprintKey, List[URLValuePreprocessorCallable]]#

view_functions: Dict[str, Callable]#

websocket_class#: alias of Websocket

websocket_context(websocket: Websocket) → WebsocketContext#

Create and return a websocket context.

Use the test_websocket_context() whilst testing. This is best used within a context, i.e.

async with app.websocket_context(websocket):
    ...

Parameters:: websocket – A websocket to build a context around.

while_serving(func: Callable[[], AsyncGenerator[None, None]]) → Callable[[], AsyncGenerator[None, None]]#

Add a while serving generator function.

This will allow the generator provided to be invoked at startup and then again at shutdown.

This is designed to be used as a decorator. An example usage,

@app.while_serving
async def func():
    ...  # Startup
    yield
    ...  # Shutdown

Parameters:: func – The function itself.

while_serving_gens: List[AsyncGenerator[None, None]]#
