Hi @joshuar500

method_decorator comes from flask-restFul itself (https://flask-restful.readthedocs.io/en/0.3.5/extending.html#resource-method-decorators), it's used to apply decorators to all methods of the resource.

A good thing to know is that if you want to apply this decorator only to some methods (for example like you said on put and delete requests only), you can use a mapping like this:

method_decorators = {
    "put": [jwt_required],
    "delete": [jwt_required]
}

You can see how this property is used in flask-restFul's source code here: https://github.com/flask-restful/flask-restful/blob/master/flask_restful/__init__.py#L572

Hope this has answered your question !
