Bloggle is a Flask app that is deployed on heroku here. Users can register, login, and create blogs to share with the rest of the user base. Users have an account page where they can set an image for their profile picture and as well as change usernames and passwords. Bloggle is responsive so it works great on different screen sizes. Go ahead and give it a try if you are interested! Here is a short preview.
- Clone the forked repo to a "local" directory (on your computer).
git clone https://github.com/Ajaydip-Singh/Bloggle-Flask.git
then change into the directory.
cd Bloggle-Flask
- Create a branch for the new feature being contributed.
git checkout -b [name-of-branch]
- After the feature has been implemented git push your branch and create a pull request.
Virtual environment is a key component in ensuring that the application is configured in the right environment
- Python 3
- Pip 3
$ brew install python3Pip3 is installed with Python3
To install virtualenv via pip run:
$ pip3 install virtualenvOn Windows:
python -m pip install virtualenv
Creation of virtualenv:
$ virtualenv -p python3 venv
If the above code does not work, you could also do
$ python3 -m venv venv
To activate the virtualenv:
$ source venv/bin/activate
Install dependencies in virtual environment:
$ pip3 install -r requirements.txt
Or, if you are using Windows - reference source:
$ venv\Scripts\activate
To deactivate the virtualenv (after you finished working):
$ deactivate
All environment variables are stored within the .env file and loaded with dotenv package.
Never commit your local settings to the Github repository!
Start the server by running:
$ export FLASK_ENV=development
$ python3 run.py
