Sanic how to implement functions like the flask shell . Convenient debugging

You mean a REPL preloaded with an app instance? This does not exist. Feel free to raise it as a feature request on our GitHub though.

I played around with the idea a little. This might be a nice addition.

Great!
How did you do it？
Has it been implemented?

No, but I might try to get it into the next release

This comes from a request in the forums: https://community.sanicframework.org/t/…sanic-implement-shell-like-flask-shell/1234 The actual implementation adds a `--repl` flag to the CLI. By default, `--dev` will also enable it. ![image](https://github.com/sanic-org/sanic/assets/166269/2574c9f7-9c76-4a60-aa82-88093883e25d) The way it works is by opening a Python REPL in the main process. It will also enable a client for easy access to calling the app. But, one thing that it might confuse people is that altering the `app` instance in the main will obviously not make it available in the HTTP client. So there probably needs to be some kind of warnings. Also there should be some safety re: TTY, etc.
