# [Flask HTMLX](https://blog.appseed.us/flask-htmlx-material-kit-design/) Material Kit

`Open-Source` sample that uses **Flask and HTMLx** for the frontend logic. For newcomers, `Flask` is a leading web framework powered by Python and `HTMLx` is a lightweight JS utility library that allows accessing AJAX, CSS Transitions, WebSockets, and Server-Sent Events directly in HTML.
Desing is provided by `Material Kit 2`, a modern Boostrap 5 desing (also free).


> **Features**

- `Up-to-date` Dependencies
- Tech Stack:
- `Flask`: manages authentication and routing
- `HTMLx`: manages forms: `Login`, `Register` and `Contact`
- `Bootstrap 5`: UI & presentation layer
- `Auth`: Sign IN, Sign UP
- `Misc`: SQLite DB, SQLAlchemy, Forms Validation


> **Links**

- 👉 More [Flask Apps](https://appseed.us/apps/flask/) and [Dashboards](https://appseed.us/admin-dashboards/flask/) provided by AppSeed
- 👉 Free [Support](https://appseed.us/support/) via Email and [Discord](https://discord.gg/fZC6hup).

## ✨ Build from sources

```bash
$ # Clone the sources
$ git clone https://github.com/app-generator/sample-flask-htmlx-mkit.git
$ cd sample-flask-htmlx-mkit
$
$ # Virtualenv modules installation (Unix based systems)
$ virtualenv env
$ source env/bin/activate
$
$ # Virtualenv modules installation (Windows based systems)
$ # virtualenv env
$ # .\env\Scripts\activate
$
$ # Install requirements
$ pip3 install -r requirements.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"
$
$ # Run the application
$ # --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 app 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.

## ✨ 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 app/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/), [Heroku](https://www.heroku.com/), [Gunicorn](https://gunicorn.org/), and [Waitress](https://docs.pylonsproject.org/projects/waitress/en/stable/).

### [Heroku](https://www.heroku.com/)
---

Steps to deploy on **Heroku**

- [Create a FREE account](https://signup.heroku.com/) on Heroku platform
- [Install the Heroku CLI](https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/getting-started-with-python#set-up) that match your OS: Mac, Unix or Windows
- Open a terminal window and authenticate via `heroku login` command
- Clone the sources and push the project for LIVE deployment

```bash
$ # Clone the source code:
$ git clone https://github.com/app-generator/sample-flask-htmlx-mkit.git
$ cd sample-flask-htmlx-mkit
$
$ # Check Heroku CLI is installed
$ heroku -v
heroku/7.25.0 win32-x64 node-v12.13.0 # <-- All good
$
$ # Check Heroku CLI is installed
$ heroku login
$ # this commaond will open a browser window - click the login button (in browser)
$
$ # Create the Heroku project
$ heroku create
$
$ # Trigger the LIVE deploy
$ git push heroku master
$
$ # Open the LIVE app in browser
$ heroku open
```


### [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

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)
