# Flaskr... continued

Flaskr (Flask tutorial) continued... with homework.

This repository pick up from where flask tutorial (the Flaskr blog application) left up. You can find the original git repository here.

At the end of the tutorial you're left with some "homework": suggestions to extend the blog application and improve your skills.

In this repository I'll do my best to fullfil those suggestions:

• A detail view to show a single post. Click a post’s title to go to its page.
• Like / unlike a post.
• Comments.
• Tags. Clicking a tag shows all the posts with that tag.
• A search box that filters the index page by name.
• Paged display. Only show 5 posts per page.
• Upload an image to go along with a post.
• Format posts using Markdown.
• An RSS feed of new posts.

This is an accompagnatory repository to a series of Medium articles I've written to explain the changes step by step.

You can find articles here:

• Flaskr tutorial …continued (Part 1): a detail view to show a single post and like / unlike a post.

• Flaskr tutorial …continued (Part 2): adding comments to a post.

• Flaskr tutorial …continued (Part 3): Tags. Clicking a tag shows all the posts with that tag.

• Flaskr tutorial …continued (Part 4): A search box that filters the index page by name. Paged display.

• Flaskr tutorial …continued (Part 5): Upload an image to go along with a post. Format posts using Markdown.

• Flaskr tutorial …continued (Part 6): An RSS feed of new posts.

For installation the same suggestion of Flask's team applies.

Install (almost from the original Flask github repository)

Be sure to use the same version of the code as the version of the docs you're reading. You probably want the latest tagged version, but the default Git version is the master branch.

# clone the repository
$ git clone https://github.com/giuliodn/flaskr_continued
$ cd flaskr-continued
# checkout the correct version
$ git tag  # shows the tagged versions
$ git checkout latest-tag-found-above
$ cd examples/tutorial

Create a virtualenv and activate it:

$ python3 -m venv venv
$ . venv/bin/activate

Or on Windows cmd:

$ py -3 -m venv venv
$ venv\Scripts\activate.bat

Install Flaskr:

$ pip install -e .

Or if you are using the master branch, install Flask from source before installing Flaskr:

$ pip install -e ../..
$ pip install -e .

Run

$ export FLASK_APP=flaskr
$ export FLASK_DEBUG=1
$ flask --app flaskr init-db
$ flask --app flaskr run --debug

Or on Windows cmd:

> set FLASK_APP=flaskr
> set FLASK_DEBUG=1
> flask --app flaskr init-db
> flask --app flaskr run --debug
