Configuring the Flask Application for the Airflow UI
====================================================

``FabAuthManager`` uses Flask to render the Airflow UI. When initialized, it uses predefined
configuration based on the ``webserver`` section of ``airflow.cfg``. You can override these
settings and add extra Flask configuration in the ``webserver_config.py`` file specified by
``[fab] config_file`` (by default ``$AIRFLOW_HOME/webserver_config.py``). This file is
automatically loaded by the FAB auth manager.

For example if you would like to change rate limit strategy to "moving window", you can set the
``RATELIMIT_STRATEGY`` to ``moving-window``.

You could also enhance / modify the underlying flask app directly,
as the `app context <https://flask.palletsprojects.com/en/2.3.x/appcontext/>`_ is pushed to ``webserver_config.py``:

.. code-block:: python

    from flask import current_app as app


    @app.before_request
    def print_custom_message() -> None:
        print("Executing before every request")
