What are decorators in Python 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: decorator python

def our_decorator(func):
    def function_wrapper(x):
        print("Before calling " + func.__name__)
        func(x)
        print("After calling " + func.__name__)
    return function_wrapper

@our_decorator
def foo(x):
    print("Hi, foo has been called with " + str(x))

foo("Hi")

Example 3: decorators in python

'pass function which we want to decorate in decorator callable object'
def our_decorator(func):  # func is function to be decorated by decorator
  
  def wrapper(x):       # x is parameter which is passed in func
    if x%2==0:
      return func(x)
    else:
      raise Exception("number should be even")
  return wrapper

@ our_decorator
def func(x):         # actual function 
  print(x,"is even")
func(2)
func(1)

' if you do not want to use @'
func=our_decorator(func)
func(2)

Example 4: python decorators

# decorators are user to decorate functions like what to do before/after calling the function
import time

def delay_decorator(function):
    def wrapper_function():
        print("-----------------------I am gonna greet you--------------------------")
        time.sleep(2)# waits for 2 seconds
        function()   # calls the function
        time.sleep(1)# waits for 1 sec
        print("------------------How do you feel about that greet?-------------------")
    return wrapper_function

@delay_decorator
def greet():
    print("Helllllloooooooooo")

greet()

Example 5: 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")

Example 6: examples of function decorators in Python

from functools import wraps

def logit(func):
    @wraps(func)
    def with_logging(*args, **kwargs):
        print(func.__name__ + " was called")
        return func(*args, **kwargs)
    return with_logging

@logit
def addition_func(x):
   """Do some math."""
   return x + x


result = addition_func(4)
# Output: addition_func was called
