Mastering Flask

Overview of this book

Starting from a simple Flask app, this book will walk through advanced topics while providing practical examples of the lessons learned. After building a simple Flask app, a proper app structure is demonstrated by transforming the app to use a Model-View-Controller (MVC) architecture. With a scalable structure in hand, the next chapters use Flask extensions to provide extra functionality to the app, including user login and registration, NoSQL querying, a REST API, an admin interface, and more. Next, you’ll discover how to use unit testing to take the guesswork away from making sure the code is performing as it should. The book closes with a discussion of the different platforms that are available to deploy a Flask app on, the pros and cons of each one, and how to deploy on each one.

Summary


Now that we went through two different examples of different types of Flask extensions, you should have a very clear understanding of how most of the Flask extensions that we used work. Using the knowledge that you have now, you should be able to add any extra functionality to Flask that you need for your specific application.

In the next chapter, we are going to look at how to add testing to our application to take out the guesswork of whether changes we made to the code have broken any of the functionality of our application.
