flaskCRUD

Following a tutorial to create a full CRUD application using flask.

Init setup

• Created folder structure
• Added CI integration using CircleCi
• Using virtualenv, named: env
• Going to be using flake8 to check code linting
• using pytest to run unit tests

Setting up the db

• connecting (After setting up the db - installing and setting path variables)
  • Use the following to connect: mysql -u root -p
• Create a user, for the purpose of this example, using the following:

CREATE USER 'dt_admin'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'dt2016';

• Create the database, using:

CREATE DATABASE dreamteam_db;

• Grant privileges to the db with the user we just created:

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON dreamteam_db . * TO 'dt_admin'@'localhost';

• After which we setup the config.py file to work with the db
• After the generic config file, we setup an instance config file - this is used to hold sensitive data (that we don't want to push to version control)
  • Which means, don't forget to add to your .gitignore file
