Quickstart

First, set your app's secret key as an environment variable. For example, add the following to .bashrc or .bash_profile.

export BEERBACKEND_SECRET='something-really-secret'

Before running shell commands, set the FLASK_APP and FLASK_DEBUG environment variables :

export FLASK_APP=/path/to/autoapp.py
export FLASK_DEBUG=1

Then run the following commands to bootstrap your environment :

git clone https://github.com/eternalnoob/beerbackend
cd beerbackend
pip install -r requirements/dev.txt
bower install
flask run

You will see a pretty welcome screen.

Once you have installed your DBMS, run the following to create your app's database tables and perform the initial migration :

flask db init
flask db migrate
flask db upgrade
flask run

Deployment

In your production environment, make sure the FLASK_DEBUG environment variable is unset or is set to 0, so that ProdConfig is used.

Shell

To open the interactive shell, run :

flask shell

By default, you will have access to the flask app.

Running Tests

To run all tests, run :

flask test

Migrations

Whenever a database migration needs to be made. Run the following commands :

flask db migrate

This will generate a new migration script. Then run :

flask db upgrade

To apply the migration.

For a full migration command reference, run flask db --help.
