This is a port of the excellent django-debug-toolbar for Flask applications.
Installation
Installing is simple with pip:
$ pip install flask-debugtoolbar
Usage
Setting up the debug toolbar is simple:
from flask import Flask from flask_debugtoolbar import DebugToolbarExtension app = Flask(__name__) # the toolbar is only enabled in debug mode: app.debug = True # set a 'SECRET_KEY' to enable the Flask session cookies app.config['SECRET_KEY'] = '' toolbar = DebugToolbarExtension(app)
The toolbar will automatically be injected into Jinja templates when debug mode is on. In production, setting app.debug = False
will disable the toolbar.
See the documentation for more information.
