	SOURCE: https://github.com/pallets/flask/blob/main/docs/tutorial/factory.rst#_snippet_2

	LANGUAGE: APIDOC
	CODE:
	```
	Flask Class Constructor:
	Flask(__name__, instance_relative_config=True)
	__name__: The name of the current Python module, used by Flask to locate paths.
	instance_relative_config: bool - If True, configuration files are relative to the instance folder, which is outside the package and holds local data (e.g., secrets, database).

	Config Object Methods and Attributes:
	app.config.from_mapping(mapping: dict)
	Purpose: Sets default configuration values for the application.
	Parameters:
	mapping: A dictionary of configuration key-value pairs.
	Attributes:
	SECRET_KEY: Used by Flask and extensions for data safety. Default 'dev' for development; should be overridden in production.
	DATABASE: Path where the SQLite database file will be saved, typically under app.instance_path.

	app.config.from_pyfile(filename: str, silent: bool = False)
	Purpose: Overrides default configuration with values from a Python file in the instance folder.
	Parameters:
	filename: The name of the Python file (e.g., 'config.py').
	silent: bool - If True, errors are ignored if the file doesn't exist.

	Flask Instance Attributes:
	app.instance_path: The path Flask has chosen for the instance folder. This folder is not created automatically and must be ensured to exist (e.g., using os.makedirs).

	Routing Decorators:
	@app.route(rule: str, **options)
	Purpose: Creates a connection between a URL rule and a function that returns a response.
	Parameters:
	rule: The URL rule string (e.g., '/hello').
	Usage: Applied as a decorator to a Python function, making that function handle requests to the specified URL.

	```
	url_for('static', filename='style.css')
	```

	----------------------------------------

	TITLE: Start Flask Development Server

	)

	if test_config is None:
	# load the instance config, if it exists, when not testing
	app.config.from_pyfile('config.py', silent=True)
	else:
	# load the test config if passed in

	TITLE: Understand Flask Trailing Slash Redirection Behavior
	DESCRIPTION: Explains how Flask handles trailing slashes in URLs, demonstrating that a route ending with a slash (`/projects/`) will redirect if accessed without it, while a route without a trailing slash (`/about`) will result in a 404 if accessed with one. This helps maintain unique URLs for SEO.

	if user is not None:
	return create_app(user)

	application = PathDispatcher(default_app, make_app)
	```

	TITLE: Example Usage of SubdomainDispatcher
	DESCRIPTION: Illustrates how to instantiate and use the `SubdomainDispatcher` with a `make_app` function. The `make_app` function dynamically creates a Flask application based on the subdomain's associated user or returns a 404 Not Found exception if no user is found.

	SOURCE: https://github.com/pallets/flask/blob/main/docs/patterns/appdispatch.rst#_snippet_3

	LANGUAGE: python
	CODE:
	```
	from myapplication import create_app, get_user_for_subdomain
	from werkzeug.exceptions import NotFound

	def make_app(subdomain):
	user = get_user_for_subdomain(subdomain)
	if user is None:
	# if there is no user for that subdomain we still have
	# to return a WSGI application that handles that request.
	# We can then just return the NotFound() exception as
	# application which will render a default 404 page.
	# You might also redirect the user to the main page then
	return NotFound()

	# otherwise create the application for the specific user
	return create_app(user)

	application = SubdomainDispatcher('example.com', make_app)
