webhook tutorial
Hi,
I'm following the webhook tutorial using the Python SDK.
There is a url and function 'welcome'.
However, I don't see it being used anywhere in the app.
Can you please clarify what the purpose of it is if it's not being used anywhere?
Thank you
af11 As Здравко indicated, it sounds like you're referring to the "welcome" definition in app.py in the mdwebhook project, which is used for the "/welcome" route.
That route in particular is used as the "success_url" for the app in the app.json (for Heroku deploys).
Hi af11,
Are you aware of 'annotations' in Python? 🧐 I suppose you got confused on following point in code:
@app.route('/welcome') def welcome(): return render_template('welcome.html', redirect_url=get_url('oauth_callback'), webhook_url=get_url('webhook'), home_url=get_url('index'), app_key=APP_KEY)What is the leading "@app.route('/welcome')" for? 🤔
Try investigate meaning of following parts of the code, denoted here:
#... from flask import abort, Flask, redirect, render_template, Response, request, session, url_for #... app = Flask(__name__) #... if __name__=='__main__': app.run(debug=True)In the same context, where following functions get called from: oauth_callback, process_user, index, etc. 😉
Hope this gives direction.
