This is a fairly small Flask skeleton that includes an auth blueprint with minimal details using MongoEngine (using flask-mongoengine) and MongoDB as a database engine
- Login
- SignUp
- Protected
It uses JWT authentication so it's already suited for RESTful API development
to create a new module (blueprint) create a directory, put an __init__.py inside, add your controller.py (tipically called routes in other flask apps) insert at least the following lines
from flask import Blueprint
# <blueprint_name> = Blueprint('<blueprint_name>', __name__)
users = Blueprint('users', __name__)
@users.route('/')
def hello_users():
"""
http://host:port/users
(after you include your prefix in app/__init__.py)
"""
return "Hello Users"and inside app/__init__.py add the following lines
from app.auth.controller import auth
from app.users.controller import users # this one
# register blueprints
app.register_blueprint(auth, url_prefix='/auth')
# http://host:port/users
app.register_blueprint(users, url_prefix='/users') # this onefeel free to clone and add more stuff as your app grows. if you feel I'm missing something, please send a pull request or raise an issue in github. this repo was built from this previous project.
to have the best experience developing this skeleton you should be using the following
pipenv --three # creates a python 3 virtualenv
pipenv install
press F5
set a breakpoint and send a request
or just run
$ pipenv shell
(virtualenv) $ python app.py
and don't forget to update your custom variables in the .env file

if you intend to publish this repo else were remember to put .env file outside github I left it here for completeness
This sample also Includes an Aurelia Frontend, via aurelia-script, no need to build just go there and edit the files and it will work propperly
