quart equivalent of flask.sansio.scaffold

[cpvandehey]

Hey Quart folks!

Im really impressed with the repo so far :) I find it to be super easy to navigate and reason with. The docs have also been great

My main question that I'm still struggling with is how people have migrated scaffold usages (flask.sansio.scaffold) from Flask to Quart.

At the moment, I have a project that is subclassing the scaffold class and overriding def route:

class CustomScaffold(scaffold.Scaffold):
  def route(
        self,
        rule: str,
        **options: Any,
    ) -> Callable:
        """
        Wrapper over flask.Scaffold.route to provide a nicer API.
        Args:
            - method (str): one of the HTTP methods
            - rule (str): the route URI e.g. '/hello'
        """
        ...

And then my blueprint uses this:

class APIBlueprint(flask.Blueprint, scaffold.CustomScaffold):
    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        super(APIBlueprint, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)

    def route(self, *args, **kwargs):
        return scaffold.CustomScaffold.route(self, *args, **kwargs)

I use this to plug in my custom authentication logic as well as adding headers for certain situations. Before flask 2.0.0 was released, I used RouteMixins to achieve this.

Im curious what the community thinks of the migration here:

• Is there a way to use scaffold implementations in Quart
• Am I better off trying to shove what I have in my scaffold implementation inside of a blueprint?

Thanks for any insights. Cheers!

You're not supposed to use scaffold at all, it's internal. Flask and Quart use it, you should be using their app and blueprint classes.
