Flask-TaskX is an extension for Flask that adds the capability of running asynchronous tasks within the context of your Flask applications. If you are familiar with Flask, Flask-TaskX should be easy to pick up. It provides a coherent collection of decorators and tools to define and execute asynchronous tasks.
You can install Flask-TaskX with pip:
$ pip install flask-taskx
or with easy_install:
$ easy_install flask-taskx
With Flask-TaskX, you define the task worker by instantiating a BackgroundTaskWorker and with this instance define all tasks to be executed later in the background.
from flask import Flask
from flask_taskx import BackgroundTaskWorker
app = Flask(__name__)
task_worker = BackgroundTaskWorker(app)
@task_worker.define_task
def email_task(**kwargs):
response = send_message(**kwargs)
return response
@app.route('/email_send')
def email_send():
email_task.apply(email="[email protected]")
task_worker.start()
app.run()The documentation is hosted on Read the Docs
