How is the logged in user being kept track of?

• First the user's instance is added to the session inside of do_login. Secondly, the user is being added to the g object in every request that is made in the before_request method.

What is Flask’s g object?

• G object is an application context where we can store data for every request. Its a one-time use-case for every request being made. It gets torn down after the request is made.

What is the purpose of add_user_to_g?

• It keeps track of if a user is logged in. If a user is logged in, the user is then assigned to the g.user key-value as the user's instance.

What does @app.before_request mean?

• Before every request is made, it is a decorator that that will execute before every request. It is similar to unittest's setup feature (typically paired with tear down)
