        Installation
        ============

        Usage
        =====
        
        For application
        ---------------
        
        ``project/app.py``
        
        ::
        
            from flask import Flask
            from flask.ext.lazyviews import LazyViews
        
        
            app = Flask(__name__)
            views = LazyViews(app)
        
            views.add('/', 'views.home')
            views.add('/page/<int:page>', 'views.page')
        
        ``project/views.py``
        
        ::
        
            from flask import render_template
        
        
            def home():
                return render_template('home.html')
        
        
            def page(page_id):
                page = get_page(page_id)
                return render_template('page.html', page=page)
        
        
        For blueprint
        -------------
        
        ``project/app.py``
        
        ::
        
            ...
        
            from project.test import blueprint as test_blueprint
        
            ...
        
            app.register_blueprint(test_blueprint, url_prefix='/test')
        
        
        ``project/test/__init__.py``
        
        ::
        
            from flask import Blueprint
            from flask.ext.lazyviews import LazyViews
        
        
            blueprint = Blueprint('test', __name__)
            views = LazyViews(blueprint, '.views')
        
            views.add('/', 'test')
            views.add('/advanced', 'advanced_test', methods=('GET', 'POST'))
        
        ``project/test/views.py``
        
        ::
        
            from flask import render_template, request
        
        
            def advanced_test():
                context = generate_context(request.form)
                return render_template('test/advanced.html', **context)
        
        
            def test():
                return render_template('test/test.html')
        
        Explanations
        ============
        
        The main point of ``Flask-LazyViews`` is simplifying process of adding views
        to the app and blueprint using `lazy technique
        <http://flask.pocoo.org/docs/patterns/lazyloading/>`_ from Flask
        documentation.
        
        Also the next goal is simplifying ``viewname`` definition. For most cases our
        views functions placed in ``.views`` module of app or blueprint, so we don't
        need to input full path to that module.
        
        This especially useful for blueprints. Let see the example above, if we using
        original snippet - we'll need to provide path to blueprint's views
        module::
        
            add_url(blueprint, '/', 'test.views.test')
        
        but with ``Flask-LazyViews`` we could to ignore ``test``.
        
        From other side if your view functions placed in some other location or you
        need to provide full path to its - you still could do this.
        
        Also you could setup ``import_prefix`` like done in Django's ``patterns``::
        
            views = LazyViews(app, 'views')
            views.add('/', 'home')
            views.add('/page/<int:id>', 'page', methods=('GET', 'POST'))
        
        Important
        ---------
        
        Be careful with ``import_prefix`` value if you used ``__name__`` as Flask
        application name or blueprint ``import_name``. Setting relative path could
        cause server errors.
