[Flask] Blueprints templates

[Jerry Mccreary]

I’m not sure if this answers your question:

The structure you reference is for project and maintenance organization, keeping blueprint assets together.
Blueprints can also go in the main templates folder at root of project.

Ex:
yourpackage/
	blueprints/
		admin/
			__init__.py
			models.py
			views.py
		
	templates/  (main templates folder)
		admin/
			index.html
		blueprint2/
			index.html 
		blueprint3/
			index.html

The subfolders are used because blueprints may have templates named the same.
For example, if all the templates were in a single directory, they would need to be name without conflict.

yourpackage/
	blueprints/
		etc.
	
	templates/ (main templates folder)
		admin_index.html
		blueprint1_index.html
		blueprint2_index.html
		blueprint3_index.html

Also, when defining the a blueprint, the corresponding template can be defined when declaring the blueprint using templates_folder attribute.
By using this parameter, you point to the blueprint’s template directory once, and the associated views will look in that directory.

For example "admin/index.html" will locate the file "yourpackage/blueprints/admin/templates/index.html"
