python flask routes code example

Example 1: simple flask app

# Extremely simple flask application, will display 'Hello World!' on the screen when you run it
# Access it by running it, then going to whatever port its running on (It'll say which port it's running on).
from flask import Flask
app = Flask(__name__)

@app.route('/')
def hello_world():
    return 'Hello, World!'

if __name__ == '__main__':
    app.run()

Example 2: flask site route

from flask import render_template

@app.route('/hello/')
@app.route('/hello/<name>')
def hello(name=None):
    return render_template('hello.html', name=name)

<!doctype html>
<title>Hello from Flask</title>
{% if name %}
  <h1>Hello {{ name }}!</h1>
{% else %}
  <h1>Hello, World!</h1>
{% endif %}
