REST APIs with Flask and Python - Decorating Functions with Parameters

The video tutorial explains how to use decorators in Python to modify functions with parameters. It begins with an example of a 'make secure' decorator applied to a 'get admin password' function. The tutorial highlights the issue of passing arguments to decorated functions and offers a solution using *args and **kwargs to handle unlimited arguments. This approach allows decorators to be more flexible and reusable across different functions. The video concludes with a summary of the key points discussed.

What is the primary purpose of introducing a panel parameter in the 'get password' function?

• To make the function more secure

• To simplify the function logic

• To remove the need for a decorator

• To allow the function to return different passwords based on the panel type

Why does the 'secure function' initially fail to accept parameters?

• It is not linked to the original function

• It is missing a return statement

• It is not defined in the script

• It is not designed to handle any parameters

What is the main drawback of coupling the 'make secure' decorator with a specific function?

• It increases the execution time

• It makes the code less readable

• It requires more memory

• It restricts the decorator's use to only that function

How can decorators be made more versatile in handling different functions?

• By hardcoding function names

• By implementing a switch-case structure

• By using global variables

• By using *args and **kwargs

What must still be ensured when calling the 'get password' function with the decorator applied?

• The function must be called within a try-catch block

• The function must be called with a default password

• The function must be called with the correct arguments for the original function

• The function must be called without any arguments
