Create flask endpoint only for testing

Question

I am learning flask to create endpoints using flask-restful and flask-sqlalchemy.

There is one configuration property named testing in the flask.

Is there any way in flask-restful or in the flask, using that we can create an endpoint that will only available if testing config property of flask app is true.

Answer 1

if app.testing:
    @app.route('/only-for-testing')
    def only_for_testing():
        ...
