Where would I put signals?

HI Matt

I'm pretty stuck working out how to implement a signal from flask-security that tells me when a user has registered and when a user has logged in.

Are you able to suggest how to do this and where you would put such functionality in Overholt?

thanks

Signals could be registered wherever you like. Perhaps create a signals.py module and import signals from various places and place your handler functions there as well.

@dukedougal pseudo code, but this hopefully illustrates:

# factory.py
from flask import Flask
from .signals import init_signals

def create_app(package_name):
    app = Flask(package_name)
    init_signals(app)
    return app


# signals.py
from flask_security.signals import user_registered

def on_user_registered(sender, **kwargs):
    pass

def init_signals(app):
    user_registered.connect_via(app)(on_user_registered)
