Function after_this_request

src/flask/ctx.py:117–149

Executes a function after this request. This is useful to modify response objects. The function is passed the response object and has to return the same or a new one. Example:: @app.route('/') def index(): @after_this_request def add_header(res

(
    f: ft.AfterRequestCallable[t.Any],
)

def after_this_request(
    f: ft.AfterRequestCallable[t.Any],
) -> ft.AfterRequestCallable[t.Any]:
    """Executes a function after this request.  This is useful to modify

    Example::

        @app.route('/')
        def index():
            @after_this_request
            def add_header(response):
                response.headers['X-Foo'] = 'Parachute'
                return response
            return 'Hello World!'

    This is more useful if a function other than the view function wants to
    modify a response.  For instance think of a decorator that wants to add
    some headers without converting the return value into a response object.
