# [Flask Gradient Dark PRO](https://appseed.us/admin-dashboards/flask-dashboard-gradient-dark-pro)

## How to use it

```bash
$ # Get the code
$ git clone https://github.com/app-generator/priv-flask-dashboard-gradient-dark-pro.git
$ cd priv-flask-dashboard-gradient-dark-pro
$
$ # Virtualenv modules installation (Unix based systems)

$ # pip install -r requirements-pgsql.txt
$
$ # Set the FLASK_APP environment variable
$ (Unix/Mac) export FLASK_APP=run.py
$ (Windows) set FLASK_APP=run.py
$ (Powershell) $env:FLASK_APP = ".\run.py"
$
$ # Set up the DEBUG environment
$ # (Unix/Mac) export FLASK_ENV=development
$ # (Windows) set FLASK_ENV=development
$ # (Powershell) $env:FLASK_ENV = "development"
$
$ # Start the application (development mode)
$ # --host=0.0.0.0 - expose the app on all network interfaces (default 127.0.0.1)
$ # --port=5000 - specify the app port (default 5000)
$ flask run --host=0.0.0.0 --port=5000
$
$ # Access the dashboard in browser: http://127.0.0.1:5000/
```

> Note: To use the app, please access the registration page and create a new user. After authentication, the app will unlock the private pages.


## Code-base structure

The project is coded using blueprints, app factory pattern, dual configuration profile (development and production) and an intuitive structure presented bellow:

```bash

|-- ************************************************************************
```


> The bootstrap flow

- `run.py` loads the `.env` file
- Initialize the app using the specified profile: *Debug* or *Production*
- If env.DEBUG is set to *True* the SQLite storage is used
- If env.DEBUG is set to *False* the specified DB driver is used (MySql, PostgreSQL)
- Call the app factory method `create_app` defined in app/__init__.py
- Redirect the guest users to Login page
- Unlock the pages served by *home* blueprint for authenticated users


## Recompile CSS

To recompile SCSS files, follow this setup:


**Step #1** - Install tools

- [NodeJS](https://nodejs.org/en/) 12.x or higher
- [Gulp](https://gulpjs.com/) - globally
- `npm install -g gulp-cli`
- [Yarn](https://yarnpkg.com/) (optional)


**Step #2** - Change the working directory to `assets` folder

```bash
$ cd apps/static/assets
```


**Step #3** - Install modules (this will create a classic `node_modules` directory)

```bash
$ npm install
// OR
$ yarn
```


**Step #4** - Edit & Recompile SCSS files

```bash
$ gulp scss
```

The generated file is saved in `static/assets/css` directory.


## Deployment

The app is provided with a basic configuration to be executed in [Docker](https://www.docker.com/), [Gunicorn](https://gunicorn.org/), and [Waitress](https://docs.pylonsproject.org/projects/waitress/en/stable/).

### [Gunicorn](https://gunicorn.org/)
---

Gunicorn 'Green Unicorn' is a Python WSGI HTTP Server for UNIX.

> Install using pip

```bash
$ pip install gunicorn
```
> Start the app using gunicorn binary

```bash
$ gunicorn --bind 0.0.0.0:8001 run:app
Serving on http://localhost:8001
```

Visit `http://localhost:8001` in your browser. The app should be up & running.


### [Waitress](https://docs.pylonsproject.org/projects/waitress/en/stable/)
---

Waitress (Gunicorn equivalent for Windows) is meant to be a production-quality pure-Python WSGI server with very acceptable performance. It has no dependencies except ones that live in the Python standard library.

> Install using pip

```bash
$ pip install waitress
```
> Start the app using [waitress-serve](https://docs.pylonsproject.org/projects/waitress/en/stable/runner.html)

```bash
$ waitress-serve --port=8001 run:app
Serving on http://localhost:8001
```

Visit `http://localhost:8001` in your browser. The app should be up & running.
