Warning

Tracking changes adds significant overhead. In most cases, you’ll be better served by using SQLAlchemy events directly.

Flask-SQLAlchemy can set up its session to track inserts, updates, and deletes for models, then send a Blinker signal with a list of these changes either before or during calls to session.flush() and session.commit().

To enable this feature, set SQLALCHEMY_TRACK_MODIFICATIONS in the Flask app config. Then add a listener to models_committed (emitted after the commit) or before_models_committed (emitted before the commit).

from flask_sqlalchemy.track_modifications import models_committed

def get_modifications(sender: Flask, changes: list[tuple[t.Any, str]]) -> None:
    ...

models_committed.connect(get_modifications)
