How to handle both GET and POST requests in TornadoWeb framework?

flask, python, tornado

Solution

You can go with using prepare() method:

Called at the beginning of a request before get/post/etc. Override this method to perform common initialization regardless of the request method.

class MainHandler(tornado.web.RequestHandler):
    def prepare(self):
        self.render('intro.html')

Hope that helps.

Problem

I'm really new to Python community, it's been a while that I'm trying to learn Flask and Tornado frameworks. As you know we can handle GET and POST requests together in Flask very easily, For example a simple URL routing in Flask is something like this: ``` @app.route('/index', methods=['GET', 'POST']) def index(): pass ``` I googled and read Tornado documentation but I couldn't find a way to handle both GET and POST requests together in Tornado. All I found is like code below: ``` class MainHandler(tornado.web.RequestHandler): def get(self): self.render('intro.html') def post(self): self.render('intro.html') ``` Any idea how to do it in Tornado?
