Question

I want to create custom URLs for each user on my site.
My application uses certain custom URLs for its internal pages:

/login
/gallery
/about
etc ...

How can I make a url that would come after the above urls, and supply a function urlLookup() with the string it contains? And would I have to declare this at the end of my views file?

For example:

/First-Last

And how could I extend this to multiple variables?

/First-Last/contact
/First-Last/album/photo-title

Answer 1

Use url variables:

@app.route("/<full_name>")
def profile(full_name):
    # Lookup user by full name


@app.route("/<full_name>/<action>", defaults={"action": "contact"})
def act_on_user(full_name, action):
    # Lookup user and act on them
