when to use decorators python code example

Example 1: 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 2: 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)
