🔒 Help me with decorators.

[hollow cairn]

I consider myself as a beginner to intermediate in oops and I need help in using decorators in the current playwright python framework i am working on. I am not strong in decorators. I need to get better at it on where to, when to use it.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Remember to:

• Ask your Python question, not if you can ask or if there's an expert who can help.
• Show a code sample as text (rather than a screenshot) and the error message, if you've got one.
• Explain what you expect to happen and what actually happens.

:warning: Do not pip install anything that isn't related to your question, especially if asked to over DMs.

Closes after a period of inactivity, or when you send !close.

Can you show the code that uses the decorators? Or the decorators you wish to use?

In General, I am not sure where and when to use and where not to. I need to get better at it. just to improve my python skills

Not just in my framework In overall while I am using python i am not confident in using decorators.

A decorator is just a function that modifies how another function behaves. So, you use decorators when you want to modify a function.

def log_args(f):
    def wrapper(*args):
        print(args)
        return f(*args)
    return wrapper

@log_args
def add(a, b):
    return a + b

x = add(2, 3)
y = add(x, 4)

print(y)

And, if it helps,

@log_args
def add(a, b):
    return a + b

is almost equivalent to

def add(a, b):
    return a + b

add = log_args(add)

The @ syntax is just a shorthand.
