Lifecycle Hooks¶

Control request/response flow with lifecycle methods.

before_request¶

Run before every request:

class MyRoutes(RouteBase):
    def before_request(self):
        # Authentication, logging, etc.
        print("Request received")
        return None  # Continue

after_request¶

Process responses:

def after_request(self, response):
    response["timestamp"] = "2024-01-15"
    return response

on_error¶

Handle errors:

def on_error(self, error):
    return {
        "error": str(error),
        "status": 500
    }

Complete Example¶

from reroute import RouteBase

class SecureRoutes(RouteBase):
    def before_request(self):
        if not self.check_auth():
            raise Unauthorized()
        return None

    def after_request(self, response):
        response["version"] = "1.0"
        return response

    def on_error(self, error):
        return {"error": str(error)}

    def get(self):
        return {"data": "secure"}
