CircleCI build:
First, set your app's secret key as an environment variable. For example, add the following to .bashrc
or .bash_profile
.
Before running shell commands, set the FLASK_APP
and FLASK_DEBUG
environment variables :
export FLASK_APP=/path/to/autoapp.py
export FLASK_DEBUG=1
Then run the following commands to bootstrap your environment :
git clone https://github.com/gothinkster/flask-realworld-example-app.git
cd flask-realworld-example-app
pip install -r requirements/dev.txt
Run the following commands to create your app's database tables and perform the initial migration :
flask db init
flask db migrate
flask db upgrade
To run the web application use:
flask run --with-threads
In your production environment, make sure the FLASK_DEBUG
environment variable is unset or is set to 0
, so that ProdConfig
is used, and set DATABASE_URL
which is your postgresql URI for example postgresql://localhost/example
(this is set by default in heroku).
To open the interactive shell, run :
flask shell
By default, you will have access to the flask app
and models.
To run all tests, run :
flask test
Whenever a database migration needs to be made. Run the following commands :
flask db migrate
This will generate a new migration script. Then run :
flask db upgrade
To apply the migration.
For a full migration command reference, run flask db --help
.
