Configuration  
=============

To get started all you need to do is to instanciate a :class:`Babel`
object after configuring the application::

.. code-block:: python

  from quart import Quart
  from quart_babel import Babel

  app = Quart(__name__)
  app.config.from_pyfile('mysettings.cfg')
  babel = Babel(app)

You can also use the factory method of initializing extensions:

.. code-block:: python

  babel.init_app(app)

The Babel object iteself can be used to to change some internal defaults.
