The following signals exist in Flask:
.. data:: template_rendered
This signal is sent when a template was successfully rendered. The
signal is invoked with the instance of the template as `template`
and the context as dictionary (named `context`).
Example subscriber::
def log_template_renders(sender, template, context, **extra):
sender.logger.debug('Rendering template "%s" with context %s',
template.name or 'string template',
context)

request context was set up. Because the request context is already
This signal is sent when the request context is set up, before
any request processing happens. Because the request context is already
bound, the subscriber can access the request with the standard global
proxies such as :class:`~flask.request`.
Example subscriber::
def log_request(sender, **extra):
sender.logger.debug('Request context is set up')
from flask import request_started
request_started.connect(log_request, app)
.. data:: request_finished
This signal is sent right before the response is sent to the client.
It is passed the response to be sent named `response`.
Example subscriber::
def log_response(sender, response, **extra):
sender.logger.debug('Request context is about to close down. '
'Response: %s', response)

This is always called, even if an error happened. An `exc` keyword

This signal is sent when the request is tearing down. This is always
called, even if an exception is caused. Currently functions listening
to this signal are called after the regular teardown handlers, but this
is not something you can rely on.

The `exc` parameter was added.
As of Flask 0.9, this will also be passed an `exc` keyword argument
that has a reference to the exception that caused the teardown if
there was one.

This signal is sent when the application is tearing down the
application context. This is always called, even if an error happened.

Core Signals
------------
.. when modifying this list, also update the one in api.rst
Take a look at :ref:`core-signals-list` for a list of all builtin signals.
The following signals exist in Flask:
.. data:: flask.template_rendered
:noindex:
This signal is sent when a template was successfully rendered. The
signal is invoked with the instance of the template as `template`
and the context as dictionary (named `context`).
Example subscriber::
def log_template_renders(sender, template, context, **extra):

template.name or 'string template',
context)

:noindex:
This signal is sent when the request context is set up, before
any request processing happens. Because the request context is already
bound, the subscriber can access the request with the standard global
proxies such as :class:`~flask.request`.
Example subscriber::

.. data:: flask.got_request_exception
:noindex:
This signal is sent when an exception happens during request processing.
It is sent *before* the standard exception handling kicks in and even
in debug mode, where no exception handling happens. The exception
itself is passed to the subscriber as `exception`.
Example subscriber::
def log_exception(sender, exception, **extra):
sender.logger.debug('Got exception during processing: %s', exception)
