What are Flask-RESTful decorators and how do I use them?

Flask-RESTful decorators are used to define routes and handle HTTP methods in a Flask application. They simplify the process of creating RESTful APIs.

Can you give me an example of how to use the @api.route decorator?

Sure! You can use the @api.route decorator to define a route like this:

from flask_restful import Api, Resource

api = Api(app)

class HelloWorld(Resource):
    def get(self):
        return {'hello': 'world'}

api.add_resource(HelloWorld, '/hello')

What other decorators are available in Flask-RESTful?

Other common decorators include @api.doc for documentation, @api.expect for request parsing, and @api.response for response formatting.

How do I handle errors with Flask-RESTful decorators?

You can handle errors by using the @api.errorhandler decorator to define custom error responses for specific exceptions.
