Using Celery with Flask

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

This repository contains the example code for my blog article [Using Celery with Flask](http://blog.miguelgrinberg.com/post/using-celery-with-flask).

The application provides two examples of background tasks using Celery:

- Example 1 sends emails asynchronously.

- Example 2 launches one or more asynchronous jobs and shows progress updates in the web page.

Here is a screenshot of this application:



Quick Setup

-----------

1. Clone this repository.

2. Create a virtualenv and install the requirements.

3. Open a second terminal window and start a local Redis server (if you are on Linux or Mac, execute `run-redis.sh` to install and launch a private copy).

4. Open a third terminal window. Set two environment variables `MAIL_USERNAME` and `MAIL_PASSWORD` to a valid Gmail account credentials (these will be used to send test emails). Then start a Celery worker: `venv/bin/celery -A app.celery worker --loglevel=info`.

5. Start the Flask application on your original terminal window: `venv/bin/python app.py`.

6. Go to `http://localhost:5000/` and enjoy this application!

For details on how this all works, see my article [Using Celery with Flask](http://blog.miguelgrinberg.com/post/using-celery-with-flask).
