Working example: https://jlbooks.herokuapp.com/
This project was inspired by a test task a potential employer sent me. The requirements:
- Host final project on Heroku with source code on GitHub
- Use SQLAlchemy to translate model to database entries
- Migration via Flask-Migrate
- The Flask app should have a virtualenv and a requirements.txt file that allows for the environment to be built from scratch on other systems
- The Flask application should use Blueprints and have at least one Blueprint for authentication and one Blueprint for other operations
- Use email to confirm new user registration
- Once logged in, show a list of the user's books
- Allow CRUD of Title, Author, Date Read, and Notes
In my research I stumbled on the MVP project by jelmerdejong (see below). I am working in a Windows environment and learned a few things about that. I'll write up a "Getting Started" for the Windows version soon.
Flask App Blueprint is a boilerplate / starter project that will help you get started with an easy to learn, yet powerful technology stack. A stack that you can have up and running in less than 25 minutes, so you can focus on making the real thing. Ideal for hackathons, prototypes, MVPs, idea validation, or kickstarting your startup. Including registration, login, insert and retrieve info from a database, email integration, and have it all deployed on Heroku.
