QuickStart App

The QuickStart App allows users to register and login with a username and avoids the need to configure SMTP settings.

Create a development environment

We recommend making use of virtualenv and virtualenvwrapper:

# Create virtual env
mkvirtualenv my_app
workon my_app

# Create working directory
mkdir -p ~dev/my_app           # or  mkdir C:\dev\my_app
cd ~/dev/my_app                # or  cd C:\dev\my_app

Install required Python packages

pip install Flask-User

Create the quickstart_app.py file

  • Open your favorite editor,
  • Copy the example below, and
  • Save it as ~/dev/my_app/quickstart_app.py
.. literalinclude:: ../../example_apps/quickstart_app.py
   :language: python
   :linenos:
   :emphasize-lines: 9, 23-27, 41-42, 60-61, 81

Highlighted lines shows the few additional Flask-User code lines.

Run the QuickStart App

Run the QuickStart App with the following command:

cd ~/dev/my_app
python quickstart_app.py

And point your browser to http://localhost:5000.

Troubleshooting

If you receive a SQLAlchemy error message, delete the quickstart_app.sqlite file and restart the app. You may be using an old DB schema in that file.
