* Converts example/flaskr to have a setup.py Makes the flaskr app easier to run, ex. workflow: - pip install --editable . - export FLASK_APP=flaskr.flaskr - flask initdb - flask run Testing is also easier now: - python setup.py test * Fixed an import error in flaskr/tests - the statement `import flaskr` caused errors in python3 - `from . import flaskr` fixes the issue in 2.7.11 and 3.5.1 * Better project structure and updates the docs - Re-factors *flaskr*'s project structure a bit - Updates docs to make sense with the new structure - Adds a new step about installing Flask apps with setuptools - Switches first-person style writing to second-person (reads better IMO) - Adds segments in *testing.rst* for running tests with setuptools * Remove __init__.py from tests - py.test recommends not using __init__.py * Fix testing import errors

Step 0: Creating The Folders
|
|
============================
|
|
|
|
Before getting started, you will need to create the folders needed for this
|
|
application::
|
|
|
|
/flaskr
|
|
/flaskr
|
|
/static
|
|
/templates
|
|
|
|
The application will be installed and run as Python package. This is the
|
|
recommended way to install and run Flask applications. You will see exactly
|
|
how to run ``flaskr`` later on in this tutorial. For now go ahead and create
|
|
the applications directory structure. In the next few steps you will be
|
|
creating the database schema as well as the main module.
|
|
|
|
As a quick side note, the files inside of the :file:`static` folder are
|
|
available to users of the application via HTTP. This is the place where CSS and
|
|
Javascript files go. Inside the :file:`templates` folder, Flask will look for
|
|
`Jinja2`_ templates. You will see examples of this later on.
|
|
|
|
For now you should continue with :ref:`tutorial-schema`.
