Introducing Flaskr
|
||
|
|
==================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
We will call our blogging application flaskr here, feel free to chose a
|
||
|
|
less web-2.0-ish name ;) Basically we want it to do the following things:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. let the user sign in and out with credentials specified in the
|
||
|
|
configuration. Only one user is supported.
|
||
|
|
2. when the user is logged in he or she can add new entries to the page
|
||
|
|
consisting of a text-only title and some HTML for the text. This HTML
|
||
|
|
is not sanitized because we trust the user here.
|
||
|
|
3. the page shows all entries so far in reverse order (newest on top) and
|
||
|
|
the user can add new ones from there if logged in.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
We will be using SQlite3 directly for that application because it's good
|
||
|
|
enough for an application of that size. For larger applications however
|
||
|
|
it makes a lot of sense to use `SQLAlchemy`_ that handles database
|
||
|
|
connections in a more intelligent way, allows you to target different
|
||
|
|
relational databases at once and more. You might also want to consider
|
||
|
|
one of the popular NoSQL databases if your data is more suited for those.
