Origin

  The project is using Python and the Flask framework to create a personal blog. The main focus is to understand the HTTP protocol, the interaction between the website and its database, and the deployment of the application. Thus, I simply implemented the Bootstrap as the front-end framework.

Details

run.py:

• type python run.py in the terminal to initiate the website
• if __name__ == '__main__':
        app.run(debug=True)

flaskblog/ :

init.py:

• call the app = Flask(__name__)
• database db = SQLAlchemy(app)
• bcrypt bcrypt = Bcrypt(app)
• login manager login_manager = LoginManager(app)
• then call routes.py

routes.py:

• manage all the routes (website pages)

forms.py:

• import FlaskForm, fields, and validators
• Two objects: "RegisterForm" and "LoginForm"

models.py:

• import db and write into the database
• two objects: "User" and "Post"

• {% ... %} for python syntax
• {{ ... }} for variables
