Variables in Flask URLs

When using Flask for URL processing, it is useful to understand how to add variables into URLs, as each resource may be requested using an ID or string identifier (for example, a state name). Flask URLs use placeholders to pass data into function parameters and utilize it as variables within the view for each endpoint. Using a converter, numerical data can be assigned a type within the placeholder; the default is a string type.
