How can I add python type annotations to the flask global context g?

Question

I have a decorator which adds a user onto the flask global context g:

class User:
    def __init__(self, user_data) -&         


        

Answer 1

You could proxy the g object. Consider the following implementation:

import flask


class User:
    ...


class _g:

    user: User
    # Add type hints for other attributes
    # ...

    def __getattr__(self, key):
        return getattr(flask.g, key)


g = _g()
