Flask-SQLAlchemy Tutorial

Connect your Flask app to a database using Flask-SQLAlchemy.

Getting Started

Get set up locally in two steps:

Environment Variables

Replace the values in .env.example with your values and rename this file to .env:

  • FLASK_APP: Entry point of your application; should be wsgi.py.
  • FLASK_ENV: The environment in which to run your application; either development or production.
  • SECRET_KEY: Randomly generated string of characters used to encrypt your app's data.
  • SQLALCHEMY_DATABASE_URI: SQLAlchemy connection URI to a SQL database.

Remember never to commit secrets saved in .env files to Github.

Installation

Get up and running with make deploy:

$ git clone https://github.com/hackersandslackers/flask-sqlalchemy-tutorial.git
$ cd flask-sqlalchemy-tutorial
$ make deploy
