How to centralise routing in Flask using a single file instead of decorators?
As you know decorators work as functions:
@app.route('/')def home(): return 'home'equivalent to:
def home(): return 'home'home = app.route('/')(home)But Flask already has special method add_url_rule for this. It used in route decorator.
def home(): return 'home'app.add_url_rule('/', None, home, {})So you can create special module where will import view functions and add routes with add_url_rule. Do not forget execute this code before usage (import).
add_url_rule is creating Rule instance and adding it to Flask.url_map, so you can also explicitly create Rule and put it to url_map. But I hope this not need for you.
Update
With Flask you also can use Lazily Loading Views, see details in documentation: http://flask.pocoo.org/docs/patterns/lazyloading/.
