    Flask Cheat Sheet

    PIP, VENV and Flask Installation and Setup


    Make sure you have Python running on your machine.
    Install pip https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py
    install virtualenv > pip install virtualenv
    create directory and environment
    > mkdir project
    > cd project
    > virtualenv venv
    > venv\scripts\activate
    > pip install flask

    when finished...deactivate
    > venv\scripts\deactivate

    $ export FLASK_APP=hello.py
    $ flask run
    * Running on http://127.0.0.1:5000/

    IMPORTANT: If you are on Windows you need to use set instead of export.
    Alternatively you can use python -m flask :
    $ export FLASK_APP=hello.py
    $ python -m flask run
    * Running on http://127.0.0.1:5000/

    Basic app.py
    from flask import Flask, render_template
    from flask import make_response
    from flask import redirect
    app = Flask(__name__)

    @app.route("/")
    def index():
    return '<h1>Hello World!</h1>'
    @app.route('/user/<name>')
    def user(name):
    return '<h1> Hello %s </h1>' % name
    @app.route('/cookie')
    def cookie():
    response = make_response ('<h1>this document carries a cookie</h1>')
    response.set_cookie('answer', '42')
    return response
    @app.route ('/redirect')
    def redirectwebsite():
    return redirect('http://www.google.com')
    if __name__ == '__main__':
    app.run(debug=True)

    Templates
    jinja2
    app.py
    from flask import Flask
    from flask import render_template
    @app.route('/index')
    def index():
    return render_template('index.html')
    @app.route('/user/<name>')
    def user(name):
    return render_template('user.html', name= name)

    index.html (template)
    <h1>Hello {{ name }} from Jinja2 Template!</h1>

    Variables {{ varname }} {{ varname | filter }}


    {{ varname | capitalize }}

    control structures
    {% if user %}
    Hello, {{ user }}!
    {% else %}
    Hello, Stranger!
    {% endif %}

    render list of elements


    <ul>
    {% for comment in comments %}
    <li>{{ comment }}</li>
    {% endfor %}
    </ul>

    Template Include and Inheritance


    Portions of template code that need to be repeated in several places can be stored in a
    separate file and included from all the templates to avoid repetition:
    {% include 'common.html' %}

    base template (base.html)


    <html>
    <head>
    {% block head %}
    <title>{% block title %}{% endblock %} - My Application</title>
    {% endblock %}
    </head>
    <body>
    {% block body %}
    {% endblock %}
    </body>
    </html>

    derived template (base.html)


    pip{% extends "base.html" %}
    {% block title %}Index{% endblock %}
    {% block head %}
    {{ super() }}
    <style>
    </style>
    {% endblock %}
    {% block body %}
    <h1>Hello, World!</h1>
    {% endblock %}

    Note that the new definition of the head block, which


    is not empty in the base template, uses super() to retain the original contents.
