Example Flask Application

This repo holds an example Python/Flask application that uses FusionAuth as the identity provider. This application will use an OAuth Authorization Code Grant workflow to log a user in and get them access and refresh tokens.

This application was built by following the Python/Flask Quickstart.

Project Contents

The docker-compose.yml file and the kickstart directory are used to start and configure a local FusionAuth server.

The /complete-application directory contains a fully working version of the application.

Project Dependencies

• Docker, for running FusionAuth
• Python 3.8 or later, for running the Changebank Python application

Running FusionAuth

To run FusionAuth, just stand up the docker containers using docker-compose.

docker-compose up

This will start a PostgreSQL database, and Elastic service, and the FusionAuth server.

Running the Example App

To run the application, first go into the project directory

cd complete-application

Set up a Python virtual env and installing the project dependencies.

python -m venv venv && \
source venv/bin/activate && \
pip install -r requirements.txt

Then use the flask run command to start up the application.

flask --app server.py run

If you're going to be working on the application and want hot reloads of the server code, add the --debug flag.

flask --app server.py --debug run
