By default, routes only respond to GET
requests. You can change this behavior by supplying the methods
argument to the route()
decorator.
from flask import request
@app.route('/login', methods=['GET', 'POST'])
def login():
if request.method == 'POST':
do_the_login()
else:
show_the_login_form()
You can also map different functions to the same endpoint based on the HTTP method used.
@app.route('/endpoint', methods=['GET'])
def get_endpoint():
#respond to GET requests for '/endpoint'
@app.route('/endpoint', methods=['POST', 'PUT', 'DELETE'])
def post_or_put():
#respond to POST, PUT, or DELETE requests for '/endpoint'
