Introducing Flaskr |
|
================== |
|
|
|
We will call our blogging application flaskr here, feel free to choose 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 they 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. |
|

Here a screenshot from the final application: |
