Placeholder in “sanic” python

Question

I've recently been working with the Sanic module in python and I was wondering If there's a way to define placeholders in a url. This is kind of hard to explain but I'm going to try my best.

I want it to be like this kind of. Url: /account/api/public/account/PlaceholderHere/externalAuths Can anyone help me with this?

Answer 1

You can use <> around the placeholder in your route decorator:

my_route = Blueprint("my_route")

@my_route.route("/account/api/public/account/<placeholder>/externalAuths", methods=["GET"])
async def get_my_route(request, placeholder):
  print(f"here is my placeholder: {placeholder}")

Read about parameters in the docs.
