Flask Application Factory Function

The application factory function for a Flask application initializes the Flask application.

The biggest benefit of this approach is being able to create different versions of the Flask application using the same interface (the application factory).

def create_app():
    # Create the Flask application
    app = Flask(__name__)

    initialize_extensions(app)
    register_blueprints(app)
    configure_logging(app)
    register_app_callbacks(app)
    register_error_pages(app)
    register_cli_commands(app)
    return app
