Patterns for Flask¶
Certain things are common enough that the chances are high you will find them in most web applications. For example quite a lot of applications are using relational databases and user authentication. In that case, chances are they will open a database connection at the beginning of the request and get the information of the currently logged in user. At the end of the request, the database connection is closed again.
