Flask-Beginner

A curated list of awesome projects related to Flask.

Flask is a lightweight WSGI web application framework written in Python.

Initial Setup

First, set your app's secret key as an environment variable. For example, add the following to .bashrc or .bash_profile.

.. code-block:: bash

export CONDUIT_SECRET='something-really-secret'

Before running shell commands, set the FLASK_APP and FLASK_DEBUG environment variables ::

export FLASK_APP=/path/to/autoapp.py
export FLASK_DEBUG=1

Then run the following commands to bootstrap your environment ::

git clone repo-name
cd folder
pip3 install -r requirements.txt

Run the following commands to create your app's database tables and perform the initial migration ::

flask db init
flask db migrate
flask db upgrade

To run the web application use::

flask run --with-threads

Deployment

In your production environment, make sure the FLASK_DEBUG environment variable is unset or is set to 0, so that ProdConfig is used, and set DATABASE_URL which is your postgresql URI for example postgresql://localhost/example (this is set by default in heroku).

Shell

To open the interactive shell, run ::

flask shell

By default, you will have access to the flask app and models.

Running Tests

To run all tests, run ::

flask test

Migrations

Whenever a database migration needs to be made. Run the following commands ::

flask db migrate

This will generate a new migration script. Then run ::

flask db upgrade

To apply the migration.

For a full migration command reference, run flask db --help.
