Static files in Flask - robot.txt, sitemap.xml

+1 vote
605 views

Is there any clever solution to store static files in Flask's application root directory. robots.txt and sitemap.xml are expected to be found in /, so my idea was to create routes for them:

@app.route('/sitemap.xml', methods=['GET'])
def sitemap():
  response = make_response(open('sitemap.xml').read())
  response.headers["Content-type"] = "text/plain"
  return response

There must be something more convenient :)

What is global variable g and how it is related to the application context and request context.

Also since I don't have much knowledge of developing web apps( I am doing it for first time) any another language also so there is another request if someone could give a reference or make me understand that how the requests are handled, i mean what happens when a request arrives to the web application.
