[PYTHON] "A book that understands Flask from scratch" Reading memo

Overview

It is a reading memo when reading the following books. It takes about 15 hours. (Of which, work and survey around environment construction takes about 3 hours) As I mentioned, I got the impression that it is a framework that is extremely lightweight, can be developed quickly, and is easy to expand.

Book overview

--Book name: A book that understands Flask from scratch --Author: Takatomo Honda --Published date: Unknown (around July 2018?) --Number of pages: 214 pages --Remarks: Kindle version only

Environment

Python environment construction

--Uninstall Python that was installed with brew - $ brew uninstall python - $ brew uninstall python3

--Uninstall Python that was installed with the official installer -How to uninstall official Python installed on Mac

--Pyenv setup -Building a Python environment on Mac using pyenv-Qiita

--Python installation by pyenv, version specification, operation check - $ pyenv install -l - $ pyenv install 3.8.2 - $ pyenv rehash - $ pyenv global 3.8.2 - $ pyenv versions - $ which python - $ python -V - $ python2 -V - $ python3 -V

--Installation and operation check of pip - $ pip install --upgrade pip - $ pip -V - $ pip3 -V

--Pipenv setup (you can build a dedicated environment for each project and manage packages) - $ pip install pipenv - $ pipenv --version

--From now on, install various packages and execute commands after entering the virtual environment with $ pipenv shell. --You can check the packages installed in the virtual environment with `` `$ pipenv graph```

Reference: About the default Python for Mac

--MacOS comes with Python 2.7 by default --The entity is under /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework (it cannot be deleted because it is used in the system)

--In addition, macOS Catalina also includes Python 3 (version as of May 2020 is 3.7.3) --The entity is / usr / bin / python3 (also cannot be erased)

--Looking at / usr / bin /, all `python``` and `python2series commands have symbolic links to Python 2.7 mentioned above. --The python3``` command only calls the binary that is placed directly, not the symbolic link.

Reading notes

Flask Features / Design Concept

--Werkzeug ・ A micro-framework for Python based on Jinja2, which is extremely lightweight. --Werkzeug: A simple WSGI utility library --WSGI (whiskey): I / F library for connecting a web server and a web application in Python --Jinja2: Template engine library often used in Python web development

--Only the core function of receiving the user's request and returning the result is implemented. --By default, it has only the above two libraries, so there are no extras such as DB and authentication.

--Scalable application creation is possible by combining extended functions (highly customizable)

--In Django, RDB is a set, but in Flask, NoSQL etc. can also be used

--High affinity with microservices

--Examples of services using Flask: Netflix, Lyft, LinkedIn, Mailgun, Pinterest

Django Features / Design Concept

--A full stack framework that contains most of the functionality needed for web development

--Clean development according to the type is possible

--Examples of services using Django: Instagram, Bitbucket, Udemy, Dropbox, Spotify, Youtube

Flask in general

--Flask is an MTV framework (Model / Template / View) --Main processing flow --User accesses (request) a specific URL --Read the accessed URL and execute the process associated with the URL (View) --During the above process, access the DB through the Model object (Model) --At the end of the process, return a template such as HTM to be displayed to the user (Template) --The HTML returned to the browser is displayed

View template

--When displaying templates in view (render_template), it is not necessary to include "/ templates" in the path --In Flask, it is a rule to create HTML files under the templates folder

--If you specify methods in the routing settings, you can limit the HTTP methods allowed for that URL. --If nothing is specified, only GET is allowed

--Since Jinja2 is used when rendering HTML with Flask, it is possible to use conditional branching in HTML and variables received from the view. --Example: ``` {% if not session.logged_in%}` ``

--Use `flash``` to display a message to the user --View: ``` flash ('message')` --Template: `get_flashed_messages ()`

--If you use url_for , the link name and method will be linked automatically, so you don't need to modify the code even if the link destination changes. --Of course, it can be written not only on the view side but also on the template side code

--``` return render_template ('entries.html', entries = entries) `` `to pass arguments to the template

--```url_for ('method name', id = entry.id) `` `can be used to pass arguments to view methods

--app.route ('/ entries / <id>') You can receive the arguments passed by url_forby doing something like. --If you want to limit the types of arguments you receive, use `<int: id>` (other types will result in an error).

--Use redirect and render_template properly -Python --Is the part written as redirect useless in render? | teratail

model

--Model is defined as a class in Python

--Define the standard behavior when a Model is created with ``` def __init __ ()` ``

--``` def repr (self) `` `describes the output format of the console when the Model is referenced (it is not necessary)

--Once the Model is defined, it is necessary to reflect it in the DB (mainly the following two ways) --How to execute and reflect the Model definition on the console --How to create and reflect a script

--It is good to prepare a View for each Model and create a file by associating it one-to-one.

session

--Flask can handle session information with a variable called session --Settings: session ['session name'] = True --Confirmation: if not session.get ('session name'): (processing) `` ` --Destroy: session.pop ('session name', None)`` --Second argument: Value to be returned if it has already been discarded (Specify ``Noneunless otherwise specified) --Encryption: If you set SECRET_KEY ='private key'` `` on the app itself, session information will be encrypted automatically

DB

--If you want to easily set up and use DB with Flask, use `` `Flask-SQLAlchemy``` library.

--Flask is an MTV framework, so if you define a Model, you can easily operate the DB using ORM.

Decorator

--It is good to use a decorator for the processing in the View that appears repeatedly (extend with the library) --Example: Common session judgment as to whether or not you are logged in

Blueprint

--If you want to divide the functions of an app that has grown, use Blueprint (extend with a library). --When there are multiple functions in the app, the functions can be configured independently as a small app. ――For example, in the case of a blog, article-related functions and comment-related functions can be configured as independent apps. --View, Template, and static files for each application are made independent as a group (divisional structure) --Template and static files are common to each application, and it is possible to separate only View (functional structure) --When registering an application using Blueprint, it is also possible to add a prefix to the URL.

Error handling

--@ app.errorhandler (status code at the time of error) `` `can define the process for each error status code. --When using Blueprint, use @ (app name) .app_errorhandler (status code at the time of error)` ``

Flask command line

--flask command line can also be used --The app can be started without using the py file for starting. --You will be able to use libraries that are supposed to use the flask command (Flask-Migrate, etc.) --Environment variables need to be set -- $ export FLASK_APP = (path of directory with __init__.py) `` `: If you want to make it persistent, add it to the shell configuration file as appropriate. -- $ export FLASK_ENV = development```: When starting in debug mode (if not set, production mode)

Application factory

--Application Factory allows you to create apps within functions instead of globally --The app created using this cannot be referenced directly from the outside, so call it using the `` `current_app``` method.

test

--There are various Python test libraries (this time I use Python standard unittest) --Write the test DB settings in the application body file so that the test config can be read. -- def setup (self) `` `: The first method to be executed when the test is executed -- def tearDown (self) `: Method executed just before the end of the test --``` def test _... () `: Test method body

--Test coverage can be measured with the `coverage``` library - ```$ pipenv install coverage``` --Create ``` .coveragerc``` and write the following to specify the folder to be tested. --``` [run] source = ./ (path) ` - $ coverage run -m unittest -- $ coverage report -m: Coverage measurement -- $ coverage html: Creating a coverage report

Other

--static The directory and below are automatically recognized as places to put static files such as CSS and JS. --Usage example: ``` <link rel =" stylesheet "href =" {{url_for ('static', filename ='style.css')}} ">

--There is a description to import `` `jquery-3.2.1.slim.min.js``` from the jQuery CDN, but at the moment it is necessary to rewrite 3.2.1 to 3.5.1.
