Flask-Modus3

This is the same flask_modus as done by Rhys Elsmore with a slight change by Chaim Finkelman to make it work with both python 3.6 and 2.7 .

Enable Flask Method overrides via Query String and Headers.

Allows for a much more enjoyable experience when building HTML which requires a custom method, or when using a client that doesn't support certain methods.

The following methods are supported:

• Get
• Post
• Put
• Patch
• Delete
• Options
• Head

Installation

Installation is very straightforward:

pip install flask-modus3

Configuration

Configuration is pretty damn easy:

from flask import Flask
from flask_modus3 import Modus

app = Flask(__name__)
modus = Modus(app)

or:

from flask import Flask
from flask_modus3 import Modus

app = Flask(__name__)
modus = Modus()
modus.init_app(app)

Usage

Either append your favoured methods to the end of your query string:

$ curl http://localhost:5000/?_method=put

or supply a X-HTTP-Method-Override header:

$ curl -H "X-HTTP-Method-Override: PUT" http://localhost:5000/

Note: If you supply both a header and a query string parameter, the method specified in the header will be that which is used.
