Flask Material Kit

Open-Source seed project generated by AppSeed in Flask Framework on top of Material Kit design.

Up-to-date dependencies
Database: SQLite, MySql
- Silent fallback to SQLite
DB Tools: SQLAlchemy ORM, Flask-Migrate (schema migrations)
Session-Based authentication (via flask_login), Forms validation
Flask-Minify (page compression)

✨ Start the app in Docker

Step 1 - Download the code from the GH repository (using GIT)

$ # Get the code
$ git clone <GIT_REPO_URL>
$ cd <YOUR_BUILD_ID>

Step 2 - Edit .env and set DEBUG=True. This will activate the SQLite persistance.

DEBUG=True

Step 3 - Start the APP in Docker

$ docker-compose up --build

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

👉 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:
