Explanation

Blueprints allow Flask applications to organize routes and functionality into reusable modules.

Code:

app/
├── __init__.py
├── user_routes.py
├── product_routes.py
└── order_routes.py

Explanation

Create a Blueprint for user-related routes.

Code:

from flask import Blueprint

user_bp = Blueprint('users', __name__)

@user_bp.route('/users')
def users():
    return {'users': []}

Explanation

Register a Blueprint with the main Flask application.

Code:

from flask import Flask
from user_routes import user_bp

app = Flask(__name__)
app.register_blueprint(user_bp)

Explanation

A Blueprint can define a common URL prefix for all routes inside the module.

Code:

user_bp = Blueprint(
    'users',
    __name__,
    url_prefix='/api/users'
)

Explanation

Blueprints make large applications easier to maintain by separating features into independent modules.

Code:

Flask App
   |
   +-- User Blueprint
   +-- Product Blueprint
   +-- Order Blueprint
   +-- Auth Blueprint
