Flask: what happened to the script_info_option?

Question

I wanted it to add common app-configuration options such as --config, --loglevel, --logfile, etc. to my flask.cli group and read them from the scriptinfo in my app factory function.

The @script_info_option decorator was apparently removed after 0.11 with a cryptic commit message like "implementing simplified interface".

So... how do I do add app-factory-time configuration options now?

Answer 1

Found out how you do it now:

1. Decorate your app factory with @click.pass_context so it gets the context as the first argument.
2. In the app factory, use ctx.find_root().params to get what was passed to the group.
