timelinejs-with-flask

Example implementation of using TimelineJS3 with Flask. Can be used as a base template to quickly create your own template. Uses TimelineJS3 and Flask to create and host an interactive timeline.

What does it look like?

Installation

Install Python and Flask. I recommend using the Anaconda distribution, which has flask included. If you already have Python, use

pip install Flask

To start the application, open a shell and CD into the directory where you cloned this repository. Then start the application:

cd ~/timelinejs-with-flask
python server.py

In windows, running the application looks like this:

To view your application, browse to http://localhost:5000

Sharing your application

Look up your IP address, and add the port number (5000). In windows, you can find your ip adress by typing ipconfig in a cmd shell.

How to extend

• Use /static/img to place your images.
• Use /static/data/events.json to specify your events.
• Use /templates/index.html to edit the page name.
