Configuration variables

[Kless]

To add configuration variables, are the same the next sentences?


* app.add_config_var('foo/bar', str, bar)
* app.foo_bar = bar

Hi,

They are not the same thing at all. it is important to remember that the
add_config_var call only adds the availability of that config variable,
and sets it to the default.

To access the variable later you can use app.cfg['bar'].

app.cfg['bar'] or app.conf['bar'] ?

because here [1] it's run with app.conf:

I also have seen in some code using get_app().conf['bar'] [2]. When is
used get_app().conf ?
