In the Flask application (initialized in __init__.py) I have two blueprints - auth and main . In the auth blueprint I'm trying to set some variable (will be loaded from db and depends from current_user.get_id()) which should be used in main blueprint as url-prefix:
auth.py
@auth.route('/login', methods=['POST'])
def login_post():
username = request.form.get('username')
password = request.form.get('password')
user_inst = user.query.filter_by(username=username).first()
if not user_inst or not check_password_hash(user_inst.password, password):
flash('Invalid credentials. Check you input and try again.')
return redirect(url_for('auth.login'))
login_user(user_inst)
g.team_name = 'some_team_name'
#session['team_name'] = 'some_team_name'
# if the above check passes, then we know the user has the right credentials
return redirect(url_for('main.some_func'))
In the main blueprint, it's required to get the team_name variable:
main = Blueprint('main', __name__, static_folder="static", static_url_path="", url_prefix=g.team_name)
Could you please advise is there a proper way to import variable from auth to main (before its initializing) without getting:
RuntimeError: Working outside of application context.
Basic fix of your problem is registering blueprints within app.app_context():
And seems like it is your first flask project and it is a common problem with thinking about the project structure. Read about Flask application factory pattern and apply it.
your_app/__init__.py
def create_app(app_config):
app = Flask(__name__)
with app.app_context():
from your_app.somewhere import team_name
app.register_blueprint(team_name)
return app
