Become Fluent in Python Decorators via Visualization
Comprehend Python Decorators By Visualization
Python decorator is syntactic sugar. You can achieve everything without explicitly using the decorator. However, Using the decorator can help your code be more concise and readable. Ultimately, you write fewer lines of code by leveraging Python decorators.
Nevertheless, Python decorator isn't a trivial concept to comprehend. Understanding Python decorators requires building blocks, including closure, function as an object, and deep knowledge of how Python code is executed.
Many online resources talk about Python decorators, but many tutorials only provide some sample code walkthroughs. Reading sample code could help to get a basic understanding of Python decorator. When it comes time to implement your decorator, we might still need clarification and clarity about the decorator concept and yet have to refer to the online resource to refresh our memory for detail.
Reading code sometimes doesn't deepen memory but seeing images does. In this article, I want to help you understand Python decorator with some visualization and fun examples.
