How to use Blueprint static folders correctly in Python – Flask

In a sentence. Static folders don’t inherit as templates do. Ill explain.

In Flask you have a concept called Blueprints.

In most Flask tutorials you see throughout the web they will have a single file which contains everything including your routes, models and any other code. You may do some includes to pull in additional functions but that is probably it.

As your Flask application grows in size this is obviously not feasible and the different sections of code need to be separated out into different folders or separations of concerns as it were.

For this, you can use Blueprints. you create a folder for example /lists/ and in there you define an [...]

fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php/php7.2-fpm-user.sock;

which relates to a [...]
