✨ Start the app in Docker

Step 1 - Download the code and unzip the sources (requires a purchase).

$ # Get the code
$ unzip flask-soft-ui-design-enh.zip
$ cd flask-soft-ui-design-enh

Step 2 - Start the APP in Docker

$ docker-compose up --build 

Visit http://localhost:5085 in your browser. The app should be up & running.

✨ Create a new .env file using sample env.sample

The meaning of each variable can be found below:

• DEBUG: if True the app runs in develoment mode
  • For production value False should be used
• ASSETS_ROOT: used in assets management
  • default value: /static/assets
• MYSQL credentials
  • DB_ENGINE, default value = mysql
  • DB_NAME, default value = appseed_db
  • DB_HOST, default value = localhost
  • DB_PORT, default value = 3306
  • DB_USERNAME, default value = appseed_db_usr
  • DB_PASS, default value = pass
• OAuth via Github
  • GITHUB_ID=<GITHUB_ID_HERE>
  • GITHUB_SECRET=<GITHUB_SECRET_HERE>
• OAuth via Twitter
  • TWITTER_ID=<TWITTER_ID_HERE>
  • TWITTER_SECRET=<TWITTER_SECRET_HERE>

✨ Set up the MySql Database

Note: Make sure your Mysql server is properly installed and accessible.

Step 1 - Create the MySql Database to be used by the app

• Create a new MySql database
• Create a new user and assign full privilegies (read/write)

Step 2 - Edit the .env to match your MySql DB credentials. Make sure DB_ENGINE is set to mysql.

• DB_ENGINE : mysql
• DB_NAME : default value = appseed_db
• DB_HOST : default value = localhost
• DB_PORT : default value = 3306
• DB_USERNAME: default value = appseed_db_usr
• DB_PASS : default value = pass

Here is a sample:

# .env sample

DEBUG=False                 # False enables the MySql Persistence

DB_ENGINE=mysql             # Database Driver
DB_NAME=appseed_db          # Database Name
DB_USERNAME=appseed_db_usr  # Database User
DB_PASS=STRONG_PASS_HERE    # Password 
DB_HOST=localhost           # Database HOST, default is localhost 
DB_PORT=3306                # MySql port, default = 3306 

✨ How to use it

Download the code and unzip the sources (requires a purchase).

$ # Get the code
$ unzip flask-soft-ui-design-enh.zip
$ cd flask-soft-ui-design-enh

👉 Set Up for Unix, MacOS

Install modules via VENV

$ virtualenv env
$ source env/bin/activate
$ pip3 install -r requirements.txt

Set Up Flask Environment

$ export FLASK_APP=run.py
$ export FLASK_ENV=development

Start the app

$ flask run

At this point, the app runs at http://127.0.0.1:5000/.

👉 Set Up for Windows

Install modules via VENV (windows)

$ virtualenv env
$ .\env\Scripts\activate
$ pip3 install -r requirements.txt

Set Up Flask Environment

$ # CMD 
$ set FLASK_APP=run.py
$ set FLASK_ENV=development
$
$ # Powershell
$ $env:FLASK_APP = ".\run.py"
$ $env:FLASK_ENV = "development"

Start the app

$ flask run

At this point, the app runs at http://127.0.0.1:5000/.

👉 Create Users

By default, the app redirects guest users to authenticate. In order to access the private pages, follow this set up:

• Start the app via flask run
• Access the registration page and create a new user:
  • http://127.0.0.1:5000/register
• Access the sign in page and authenticate
  • http://127.0.0.1:5000/login

✨ Code-base structure

The project is coded using blueprints, app factory pattern, dual configuration profile (development and production) and an intuitive structure presented bellow:
