Blueprint

[cheungpat]

Using decorator like this is not python-y IMHO:

def register_message_hooks(settings):
    @skygear.before_save("message", async=False)
    def message_before_save_handler(record, original_record, conn):
        return handle_message_before_save(record, original_record, conn)

This makes all functions indent by one level, and this is required because we do not want a registration side effect when defining cloud functions.

The solution is IMHO blueprint like flask. Decorator registers cloud functions to a blueprint, and all cloud functions in a blueprint are registered to the registry. Like this:

blueprint = skygear.create_blueprint('blueprint_name')
@blueprint.before_save("message", async=False)
def message_before_save_handler(record, original_record, conn):
    return handle_message_before_save(record, original_record, conn)

def includeme(settings):
    skygear.register_blueprint(blueprint)  # or skygear.register_blueprint('blueprint_name')
