How can you implement WebSocket in a Flask application to enable real-time functionality?

  • Add WebSocket support directly in Flask's core library.
  • Use Django instead of Flask to implement WebSocket functionality.
  • Use regular HTTP routes in Flask and JavaScript's setInterval for polling.
  • Use the Flask-SocketIO extension to add WebSocket support. Create WebSocket routes using the @socketio.on decorator. Implement server-side logic for real-time interactions.
To enable real-time functionality in a Flask application, Flask-SocketIO is a popular extension. It allows you to implement WebSocket routes and server-side logic for real-time interactions. Polling (Option 2) is not an efficient real-time solution.
