Blog post for testdriven.io. If you want to follow along and create the projects yourself, you can find the post here.

If you don't already have them, install Git, Python, and node.

In a terminal, Clone the repo to your computer with git clone https://github.com/based-jace/combining-flask-with-vue.git. cd into the folder.

Next, I recommend creating a Python virtual environment with python3 -m venv env. (Optional)

Install the required Python dependencies from the requirements.txt file using pip install -r requirements.txt.

In a terminal, cd into the "01_vue_in_jinja" folder of your cloned repo. Since you already have everything you need installed, just use flask run to start your app in a development server on localhost:5000.

In two terminals, cd into the "02_separate_ends" folder of your cloned repo.

In your first terminal, cd into the "api" folder. Use flask run to start your Flask api in development server on localhost:5000.

In your second terminal, cd into the "webapp" folder. Install your node dependencies with npm install. Run the development version of the Vue webapp with npm run serve. The webapp will be running on localhost:8080.

In two terminals, cd into the "02_separate_ends_with_ssr" folder of your cloned repo.

In your first terminal, cd into the "api" folder. Use flask run to start your Flask api in development server on localhost:5000.

In your second terminal, cd into the "webapp" folder. Install your node dependencies with npm install. Run the development version of the Nuxt webapp with npm run dev. The webapp will be running on localhost:3000.

In a terminal, cd into the "03_flask_blueprints" folder of your cloned repo. Just like Method 1, you already have everything you need installed. Use flask run to start your app in a development server on localhost:5000.
