quart.views module

class quart.views.MethodView

Bases: View

A HTTP Method (verb) specific view class.

This has an implementation of dispatch_request() such that it calls a method based on the verb i.e. GET requests are handled by a get method. For example,

class SimpleView(MethodView):
    async def get(id):
        return f"Get {id}"

    async def post(id):
        return f"Post {id}"

  app.add_url_rule('/<id>', view_func=SimpleView.as_view('simple'))

async dispatch_request(*args: Any, **kwargs: Any) → ResponseReturnValue

Override and return a Response.

This will be called with the request view_args, i.e. any url parameters.

class quart.views.MethodViewType(name, bases, attributes)

Bases: type

class quart.views.View

Bases: object

Use to define routes within a class structure.

A View subclass must implement the dispatch_request() in order to respond to requests. For automatic method finding based on the request HTTP Verb see MethodView.

An example usage is,

class SimpleView:
    methods = ['GET']

    async def dispatch_request(id):
        return f"ID is {id}"

app.add_url_rule('/<id>', view_func=SimpleView.as_view('simple'))

decorators: List[Callable] = []

async dispatch_request(*args: Any, **kwargs: Any) → ResponseReturnValue
