Flask tutorial

Flaskr is a simple blog application that allows users to register, log in, create posts, and edit or delete their own posts. It is based on the official Flask tutorial², but with some modifications and improvements. This README will guide you through setting up and running Flaskr on your local machine.

Before you start, make sure you have the following installed:

• Python 3.11.2 or higher
• pip
• git

To install Flaskr, follow these steps:

• Clone this repository to your local machine:

git clone https://github.com/shahbaz42/flask-blog-tutorial.git

• move to the project directory

cd flask-blog-tutorial

• Create a virtual environment and install dependencies:

python -m venv venv

• Activate the virtual environment:

source venv/Source/activate

• Install required dependencies

pip install -r requirements.txt

To initialize Flaskr, you need to create the database schema and some initial data. Run this command:

flask init-db

This will create a file called flaskr.sqlite in the instance folder, which is where Flask stores files that are not meant to be shared with others.

• To run Flaskr, use this command:

flask --app flaskr run 

• To run Flasker in debug mode

flask --app flaskr run --debug

This will start a development server on http://localhost:5000. You can visit this URL in your browser and see the Flaskr homepage.

You can log in or register a new user.

You can create new posts by clicking on "New" in the navigation bar.

You can edit or delete your own posts by clicking on "Edit" or "Delete" below each post.
