HTTP Method Decorators

Endpoint Decorators

• Applies to: Flask primarily; FastAPI uses dependencies and middleware patterns instead
• Best examples: examples/authentication/demo_auth.py, examples/authentication/demo_post_auth.py
• Related pages: Security and Access Control, HTTP Methods and Hooks

What decorators are for

Decorators let you add cross-cutting behavior to SAFRS endpoints, for example:

• authentication
• authorization
• logging
• request shaping

Model-level decorators

Flask SAFRS can use model-level decorator lists such as:

• decorators
• custom_decorators

These are commonly used in the authentication examples.

Relationship-level decorators

Relationship routes can also have their own decorator and method controls.

FastAPI note

The FastAPI adapter does not implement Flask method_decorators. Use FastAPI-native dependencies and middleware instead.
