Flask-template

Boilerplate code that adds some structure to a Flask project. Uses Zurb's Foundation framework on the frontend and MongoDB for data persistence. This also includes session support and login/logout functionality.

• myApp/controllers: Backend server logic
• myApp/model: Database storage abstractions
• myApp/templates: HTML files
• myApp/static: Javascript and CSS files

Installation

By default, this is made to work with cloud9 - hence the calls to the $IP and $PORT environment variables.

Installation requires flask, flask-mongokit, and flask-bcrypt. In c9, you will need to open a terminal, then run the following:

1. easy_install pip
2. pip install flask
3. pip install flask-mongokit
4. pip install flask-bcrypt

Setup

You will need to change the file db/secrets.template.py to simply db/secrets.py, and update the values within accordingly.

Then to run the app, in the same folder as run.py, run python run.py.

Roadmap

• A setup script for customizing the application name
