FlaskUtils extension class.
This class currently optionally register the custom error handlers found in :mod:`flask_utils.errors`.
Call :meth:`init_app` to configure the extension on an application.
:param app: Flask application instance.

:param register_error_handlers: Register the custom error handlers. Default is ``True``.

.. code-block:: python

fu = FlaskUtils(app)

fu.init_app(app)
.. versionchanged:: 1.0.0
The :func:`~flask_utils.decorators.validate_params` decorator will now use the ``VALIDATE_PARAMS_MAX_DEPTH``
config variable to determine the maximum depth of the validation for dictionaries.
:Example:
.. code-block:: python
from flask import Flask
from flask_utils import FlaskUtils
app = Flask(__name__)
fu = FlaskUtils(app)
app.config["VALIDATE_PARAMS_MAX_DEPTH"] = 3
The `VALIDATE_PARAMS_MAX_DEPTH` configuration determines the maximum depth of nested dictionary validation
when using the `validate_params` decorator. This allows fine-tuning of validation behavior for
complex nested structures.

:type register_error_handlers: bool
Initialize a Flask application for use with this extension instance. This
must be called before any request is handled by the application.
If the app is created with the factory pattern, this should be called after the app
is created to configure the extension.
If ``register_error_handlers`` is ``True``, the custom error handlers will be registered and
can then be used in routes to raise errors. This is enabled by default.
The decorator :func:`~flask_utils.decorators.validate_params` will also use the custom error handlers
if set to ``True``.
.. versionchanged:: 0.7.0
Setting ``register_error_handlers`` to True will now enable using the custom error handlers
in the :func:`~flask_utils.decorators.validate_params`. decorator.
