Flask Blueprints — Complete Tutorial to fully understand how to use it!
It’s inevitable you learn Flask and did not read or listen about “Blueprints”, but what is this? How I can use and what are the advantages of using it?
This is what I want to teach you here today, if you are completely new to Flask environment or just started to learn about Flask, I do not recommend starting with this.
The reason for this is because Blueprints is a pattern that involves different concepts put together, like, routes, it’s a way to handle your routes or build your API, architecture, as this will improve how you setup your project, you also can split and decouple, and more.
For this reason, I would recommend you first read this post: https://itnext.io/beginning-with-flask-project-the-5-most-important-information-to-know-before-starting-f075e0fb0aec.
Ok now talking about Blueprints, and the importance of using it, in general, it’s a pattern that will improve different aspects of your code, for me the 2 most important are, project structure, I would say if you want to intend to have a project that will be big it’s mandatory, and also improve how you create and organize your “routes” or your API.
