How can I check if a user closed a specific tab/window in Flask?












0















I am running a server that allows users to detect motion via their webcam. The motion detector window/URL streams a live feed and I want to detect when the stream/motion detection was cut off if the user closes the window/tab directly instead of clicking the stop button.



I tried searching for a solution online but could not find one.



Here's the code for the route in the flask app



@app.route('/camera')
@login_required
def camera():
return Response(get_frame(), mimetype='multipart/x-mixed-replace; boundary=frame')


The 'get_frame()' passed in the Response above does not have a return statement, it uses yield instead to provide the images from webcam as a motion picture.



def get_frame():
....
....
yield (b'--framern'
b'Content-Type: text/plainrnrn' + imageData + b'rn')


I want to detect it to create timestamps for when the motion detector was started and when it stopped.

          Plain and simple solution is to write a last sent batch timestamp to a request:



          from flask import request

          def get_frame():
          ....
          request.last_batch_send_time = time.time()
          yield (b'--framern'
          b'Content-Type: text/plainrnrn' + imageData + b'rn')


          Then you can use it in an after request callback, for example.
