Custom decorators

A decorator wraps another function to modify its behavior without changing its code. They are denoted with @decorator_name.

Worked example

How it reads

  • def wrapper(text) defines the inner wrapping function that runs
  • @yell wraps the greet function inside yell
Cloud tip: Decorators are functions that take another function as an argument and return a new function.
