Learning Flask Framework

Left arrow icon Right arrow icon

Description

Flask is a small and powerful web development framework for Python. It does not presume or force a developer to use a particular tool or library. Flask supports extensions that can add application features as if they were implemented in Flask itself. Flask’s main task is to build web applications quickly and with less code. With its lightweight and efficient web development framework, Flask combines rapid development and clean, simple design. This book will take you through the basics of learning how to apply your knowledge of Python to the web. Starting with the creation of a “Hello world” Flask app, you will be introduced to the most common Flask APIs and Flask’s interactive debugger. You will learn how to store and retrieve blog posts from a relational database using an ORM and also to map URLs to views. Furthermore, you will walk through template blocks, inheritance, file uploads, and static assets. You will learn to authenticate users, build log in/log out functionality, and add an administrative dashboard for the blog. Moving on, you will discover how to make Ajax requests from the template and see how the Mock library can simplify testing complex interactions. Finally, you will learn to deploy Flask applications securely and in an automated, repeatable manner, and explore some of the most popular Flask resources on the web.

Who is this book for?

This book is for anyone who wants to develop their knowledge of Python into something that can be used on the web. Flask follows the Python design principles and can be easily understood by anyone who knows Python, and even by those who do not.

What you will learn

  • Create your web pages to add modularity and flexibility to your web app using templates
  • Store and retrieve relational data using SQLAlchemy
  • Develop schema migrations with Alembic
  • Produce an admin section using flaskadmin
  • Build RESTful APIs using FlaskRestless
  • Simulate requests and sessions using the Flask test client
  • Make Ajax requests from Jinja2 templates

I read few books on Flask, and this is one is quite good.The book walks through, step by step, building of a moderately complex Flask application, a blog engine.Many important aspects are discussed in detail, including model persistence with SQLAlchemy, login subsystem with Flask-login, building REST API with Flask-Restless and so on.By working through this book, I have learned how to design, structure, and build a real-world Flask application with all bells and whistles.Why not 5 stars then?Editing is quite subpar, there are many mistakes which should've be easily uncovered by a diligent editor, there is no errata (at least I didn't find it), no github repository with chapter by chapter source code; all I was able to find, was a source code of the completed application, on the publisher's Web site,
