Connect your Flask app to a database using Flask-SQLAlchemy. This repository contains source code for the accompanying tutorial on Hackers and Slackers.

Working demo here: https://flasksqlalchemy.hackersandslackers.app

Installation via requirements.txt:

$ git clone https://github.com/hackersandslackers/flask-sqlalchemy-tutorial.git
$ cd flask-sqlalchemy-tutorial
$ python3 -m venv myenv
$ source myenv/bin/activate
$ pip3 install -r requirements.txt
$ flask run

Installation via Pipenv:

$ git clone https://github.com/hackersandslackers/flask-sqlalchemy-tutorial.git
$ cd flask-sqlalchemy-tutorial
$ pipenv shell
$ pipenv update
$ flask run

Configuration is handled by creating a .env file. This should contain the following variables (replace the values with your own):

FLASK_ENV="production"
SECRET_KEY="YOURSECRETKEY"
SQLALCHEMY_DATABASE_URI="mysql+pymysql://[USER]:[PASSWORD]@[HOST]:[PORT]/[DATABASE_NAME]"
