# Flask app on pythonanywhere.com

## Docker
Need to also rebuild docker to see code changes, then start it up
```
docker-compose build && docker-compose up
```
To shut it down, CTRL + c but also run following to make sure it stopped
```
docker-compose down
```
In the database docker container, the `container_name` corresponds to the `hostname` in the SQL connector in the code. While the `hostname` in the docker container corresponds to the `host` in the server status page in MySQL Workbench.

## Pythonanywhere
https://www.pythonanywhere.com/batteries_included/
Don't use custom virtual envs, if you want to use the packages in [batteries_included](https://www.pythonanywhere.com/batteries_included/).
### Virtualenvs
Virutal environment (venv) found in `server/venv/`
Activate and deactivate venv
```bash
source server/venv/bin/activate
deactivate
```
Install packages from `requirements.txt` into venv. Make sure venv is active.
```bash
pip install -r server/src/requirements.txt
```

## Environmental Variables
All the environmental variables are now loaded from designated `.env` files which are not tracked by the repo.
### Pythonanywhere
In order to load for `.env` file on pythonanywhere.com, you must edit `wsgi.py` file as shown in the link below.

## Flask Best Practices

## SQL and Databases
### Command line tool
To run SQL commands go to the Databases tab and start a console on the database you want to edit. Then you can run any SQL queries you create locally on SQL Workbench, just copy and paste the exact commands and it runs exactly the same.
In the SQL command line, `mysql>`, you can run some shell commands `ls` and `pwd`. You just have to have the word `system` in front of them as shown below.
```bash
system ls
```
```bash
system pwd
```
To run a SQL script you have to run the `source` command and use the path to the script as the argument.
For example.
```bash
source mysite/sql-scripts/create_quotes.sql
```
Look into way of running not just individual commands but entire scripts after getting better at SQL.
