flask-riak-skeleton

===================

Skeleton of a Python Flask project, combining flask, riak, and html5boilerplate/twitter bootstrap.

The intention is to create a skeleton for my own projects where I will be using riak, flask, and html5 as the standard framework. Aim is to get to a good enough code base such that I could kick start any project development and deployment very quickly.

NOTE: This is not production ready, and is rather rough.

Components (so far)

• flask
• initializr - html5boilerplate + twitter bootstrap. See initializr
• riak-python-client - official client
• schematics - using schematics for data models. It supports json schema as well.

Coming soon

• flask-login
• python-geohash - to support geospatial search in riak

Not coming soon (as I have not yet decide what to use yet) but worth considering depending on individual projects

• flask-security - to support API token key type authentication/authorisation
• authentication - such as oauth 2.0 and openid
• schematics - to model data into json
• wtf forms - so simple (and great)
• (auto) deployment scripts - for nginx (maybe fast cgi), VPS (linode)

The source is rather rough and with very little comments. However it should be self explanatory enough to get started.

Setup

• set environment variable FLASK_ENV to either DEV, TEST or PROD
• run python runserver.py
