Purpose
This function serves as a web endpoint to display the user guide documentation to authenticated users. It is protected by the login_required decorator, ensuring only authenticated users can access the guide. The function simply renders the 'user_guide.html' template without any dynamic data processing.
Source Code
def user_guide():
"""User guide page"""
return render_template('user_guide.html')
Return Value
Returns a rendered HTML template (user_guide.html) as a Flask Response object. The template is rendered using Flask's render_template function and contains the user guide documentation content.
Dependencies
flask
Required Imports
from flask import render_template
Usage Example
from flask import Flask, render_template
from functools import wraps
app = Flask(__name__)
# Example login_required decorator (simplified)
def login_required(f):
@wraps(f)
def decorated_function(*args, **kwargs):
# Check if user is authenticated
if not session.get('user_id'):
return redirect(url_for('login'))
return f(*args, **kwargs)
return decorated_function
@app.route('/user-guide')
@login_required
def user_guide():
"""User guide page"""
return render_template('user_guide.html')
if __name__ == '__main__':
app.run(debug=True)
Best Practices
- Ensure the 'user_guide.html' template exists in the templates directory before deploying
- The login_required decorator should be placed after the route decorator to ensure proper authentication checking
- Consider adding error handling for missing template files in production environments
- The template should be designed to be responsive and accessible to all users
- Consider adding caching headers for static documentation content to improve performance
- If the user guide content is extensive, consider implementing pagination or a table of contents
- Ensure the authentication system properly handles session management and redirects unauthenticated users
