Templating with Jinja2

This chapter will cover the basics of Jinja2 templating from the perspective of Flask; we will also learn how to make applications with modular and extensible templates.

In Flask, we can write a complete web application without the need for third-party templating engine. For example, have a look at the following code; this is a standalone, simple Hello World application with a bit of HTML styling included:

from flask import Flask 
app = Flask(__name__) 
 
@app.route('/') 
@app.route('/hello') 
@app.route('/hello/<user>') 
def hello_world(user=None): 
    user = user or 'Shalabh' 
    return '''

Description

Flask, the lightweight Python web framework, is popular thanks to its powerful modular design that lets you build scalable web apps. With this recipe-based guide, you’ll explore modern solutions and best practices for Flask web development. Updated to the latest version of Flask and Python 3, this second edition of Flask Framework Cookbook moves away from some of the old and obsolete libraries and introduces new recipes on cutting-edge technologies. You’ll discover different ways of using Flask to create, deploy, and manage microservices. This Flask Python book starts by covering the different configurations that a Flask application can make use of, and then helps you work with templates and learn about the ORM and view layers. You’ll also be able to write an admin interface and get to grips with debugging and logging errors. Finally, you’ll learn a variety of deployment and post-deployment techniques for platforms such as Apache, Tornado, and Heroku. By the end of this book, you’ll have gained all the knowledge you need to confidently write Flask applications and scale them using standard industry practices.

If you are a web developer who wants to learn more about developing scalable and production-ready applications in Flask, this is the book for you.

He had the most sagacious way to structure the book and very well laid out with wonderful examples.He teaches all the new concepts via an actual app that you can make along with him. What makes this especially amazing/helpful is the subject matter itself.

i've been using python flask and django [with bulma and bootstrap] for a good while now and until now i much preferred django as a web framework as it is very powerful and flask comes as a bare bones framework with very little out of the box.i've read the usual flask reference books and although they are comprehensive they can be verbose and it's not so easy to find the snippets that you need.this book is well organised, presented and cross referenced so that you can go to relevant sections in a flash.my motivation for choosing this book was to understand flask blueprints better as i was getting annoying circular imports. not only can i now organise my code but i have an excellent reference collection of extensions that i can use out of the box to make my apps much more functional.highly recommended

Concise introductions to a broad range of Flask topics.

Ashish Desai Apr 12, 2020

Perfect book for folks who are used to pgrogramming and need a quick reference to solve a specific scenario. Covers most use cases any developer will encounter during 90% of their dev time

It's a great book and I used it to create several services, but I just wish I had not started with Flask but used Django instead. Yes, you can get a webserver running with five lines of code and you can build everything using Flask and SqlAlchemy and you can also build a house only using a screwdriver and enough determination.But if you want to build a serious web application and need a lot of features, just do yourself a favour, stop here and start learning Django.
