Add a teardown app (context) function.

This is designed to be used as a decorator, if used to decorate a synchronous function, the function will be wrapped in run_sync() and run in a thread executor (with the wrapped function returned). An example usage,

@app.teardown_appcontext

Add a teardown request function.

This is designed to be used as a decorator, if used to decorate a synchronous function, the function will be wrapped in run_sync() and run in a thread executor (with the wrapped function returned). An example usage,

@app.teardown_request
async def func():
    ...

Parameters

func – The teardown request function itself.
name – Optional blueprint key name.

teardown_websocket(func: Union[Callable[[Optional[BaseException]], None], Callable[[Optional[BaseException]], Awaitable[None]]], name: Optional[str] = None) → Callable[[Optional[BaseException]], Awaitable[None]]¶

Add a teardown websocket function.

This is designed to be used as a decorator, if used to decorate a synchronous function, the function will be wrapped in run_sync() and run in a thread executor (with the wrapped function returned). An example usage,

@app.teardown_websocket
async def func():
    ...

Parameters

func – The teardown websocket function itself.
name – Optional blueprint key name.

template_filter(name: Optional[str] = None) → Callable¶

Add a template filter.

This is designed to be used as a decorator. An example usage,

@app.template_filter('name')
def to_upper(value):
    return value.upper()

Parameters: name – The filter name (defaults to function name).

template_global(name: Optional[str] = None) → Callable¶

Add a template global.

This is designed to be used as a decorator. An example usage,

@app.template_global('name')
def five():
    return 5

Parameters: name – The global name (defaults to function name).

template_test(name: Optional[str] = None) → Callable¶

Add a template test.

This is designed to be used as a decorator. An example usage,

@app.template_test('name')
def is_upper(value):
    return value.isupper()

Parameters: name – The test name (defaults to function name).

test_client() → quart.testing.QuartClient¶: Creates and returns a test client.

test_client_class¶: alias of quart.testing.QuartClient

test_request_context(path: str, *, method: str = 'GET', headers: Union[dict, werkzeug.datastructures.Headers, None] = None, query_string: Optional[dict] = None, scheme: str = 'http', send_push_promise: Callable[[str, werkzeug.datastructures.Headers], Awaitable[None]] = <function no_op_push>, data: Optional[AnyStr] = None, form: Optional[dict] = None, json: Any = <object object>, root_path: str = '', http_version: str = '1.1') → quart.ctx.RequestContext¶

Create a request context for testing purposes.

This is best used for testing code within request contexts. It is a simplified wrapper of request_context(). It is best used in a with block, i.e.

async with app.test_request_context("/", method="GET"):
    ...

Parameters

path – Request path.
method – HTTP verb
headers – Headers to include in the request.
query_string – To send as a dictionary, alternatively the query_string can be determined from the path.
scheme – Scheme for the request, default http.

testing¶

Implements a property descriptor for objects with a config attribute.

When used as a class instance it will look up the key on the class config object, for example:

class Object:
    config = {}
    foo = ConfigAttribute('foo')

obj = Object()
obj.foo = 'bob'
assert obj.foo == obj.config['foo']

trap_http_exception(error: Exception) → bool¶

Check it error is http and should be trapped.

Trapped errors are not handled by the handle_http_exception(), but instead trapped by the outer most (or user handlers). This can be useful when debuging to allow tracebacks to be viewed by the debug page.

async try_trigger_before_first_request_functions() → None¶: Trigger the before first request methods.

async update_template_context(context: dict) → None¶

Update the provided template context.

This adds additional context from the various template context processors.

Parameters: context – The context to update (mutate).

url_defaults(func: Callable, name: Optional[str] = None) → Callable¶

Add a url default preprocessor.

This is designed to be used as a decorator. An example usage,

@app.url_defaults
def default(endpoint, values):
    ...

url_map_class: alias of quart.routing.QuartMap

url_rule_class: alias of quart.routing.QuartRule

url_value_preprocessor(func: Callable[[str, dict], None], name: Optional[str] = None) → Callable¶

Add a url value preprocessor.

This is designed to be used as a decorator. An example usage,

@app.url_value_preprocessor
def value_preprocessor(endpoint, view_args):
    ...

websocket(path: str, endpoint: Optional[str] = None, defaults: Optional[dict] = None, host: Optional[str] = None, subdomain: Optional[str] = None, *, strict_slashes: bool = True) → Callable¶

Add a websocket to the application.

This is designed to be used as a decorator, if used to decorate a synchronous function, the function will be wrapped in run_sync() and run in a thread executor (with the wrapped function returned). An example usage,

@app.websocket('/')
async def websocket_route():
    ...

Parameters

path – The path to route on, should start with a /.
defaults –
A dictionary of variables to provide automatically, use to provide a simpler default path for a route, e.g. to allow for /book rather than /book/0,
```
@app.websocket('/book', defaults={'page': 0})
@app.websocket('/book/<int:page>')
def book(page):
    ...
```
host – The full host name for this route (should include subdomain if needed) - cannot be used with subdomain.
subdomain – A subdomain for this specific route.
strict_slashes – Strictly match the trailing slash present in the path. Will redirect a leaf (no slash) to a branch (with slash).

websocket_class: alias of quart.wrappers.request.Websocket

websocket_context(websocket: quart.wrappers.request.Websocket) → quart.ctx.WebsocketContext¶

Create and return a websocket context.

Use the test_websocket_context() whilst testing. This is best used within a context, i.e.

async with app.websocket_context(websocket):
    ...

Parameters: websocket – A websocket to build a context around.
