Decorator vs Class-based Namespaces

[ixxie]

Its a bit unclear from the documentation what are the pros and cons of using decorator-based vs using class-based namespaces; I would love to hear what usecases and contexts warrant one over the other, if any.

It's just a matter of preference, really, because both methods are equivalent.

Thanks @miguelgrinberg

@miguelgrinberg - a followup question - is it correct that in the decorator approach, registration occurs by the prefix of the decorator, i.e. if I want to attach two events to different servers I would do something like:

sio1 = socketio.AsyncServer()
sio2 = socketio.AsyncServer()

@sio1.event
def my_first_event(sid, data):
    pass

@sio2.event
def my_second_event(sid, data):
    pass

[miguelgrinberg]

Yes. Each event will be registered only with the server from which you obtained the decorator.
