decorator for a python function code example
Example 1: python function decorator
#Decorator are just function that take function as first
#parameter and return a function
def logging(f):
def decorator_function(*args, **kwargs):
print('executing '+f.__name__)
return f(*args, **kwargs)
return decorator_function
#Use it like this
@logging
def hello_world():
print('Hello World')
#calling hello_world() prints out:
#executing hello_world
#Hello World
Example 2: python decorator
# Decorator with arguments
import functools
# First function takes the wanted number of repetition
def repeat(num_times):
# Second function takes the function
def decorator_repeat(func):
# Third function, the wrapper executes the function the number of times wanted
# functools decorator to print the true name of the function passed instead of "wrapper"
@functools.wraps(func)
def wrapper(*args, **kwargs):
for _ in range(num_times):
result= func(*args, **kwargs)
return result
return wrapper
return decorator_repeat
# Our function using the decorator
@repeat(num_times= 3)
def greet(name):
print(f"Hello {name}")
greet("thomas")
