About as_view function in Flask

Question

The code in this example:

posts.add_url_rule('/', view_func=ListView.as_view('list'))
posts.add_url_rule('/<slug>/', view_func=DetailView.as_view('detail'))

I don't understand the parameter passed in the function as_view above, what is the purpose of listand detail here?

Answer 1

It creates the endpoint for the routing system, so you can use url_for('posts.list') or similar, the API docs are here.
