flask_optional_routes

This package allows you to specify optional routes in a url path.

How it works

Simply place a '?' delimiter at the end of a path segment and
this code will automatically add rules for all possible routes.

Usage Example1

from flask import Flask

from flask_optional_routes import OptionalRoutes


app = Flask(__name__)
optional = OptionalRoutes(app)

@optional.routes('/<user_id>/<user_name>?/')
def foobar(user_id, user_name=None):
    return 'it worked!'

if __name__ == "__main__":
    app.run(host='0.0.0.0', port=5000)

Using @optional.routes('/<user_id>/<user_name>?/')
the following urls will show the same endpoint:

• /1/
• /1/john/

    app.run(host='0.0.0.0', port=5000)

Using @optional.routes('/a/b?/c/d?/')
