Configuration

To get started all you need to do is to instanciate a 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:

babel.init_app(app)

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