* **Tutorial**: [https://hackersandslackers.com/flask-user-sessions-and-redis/](https://hackersandslackers.com/flask-user-sessions-and-redis/)

* **Demo**: [https://flasksession.hackersandslackers.com/login](https://flasksession.hackersandslackers.com)

## Getting Started

Get set up locally in two steps:

### Configure

Replace the values in **.env.example** with your values and rename this file to **.env**:

* `ENVIRONMENT`: Enable (`development` or `production`).

* `FLASK_APP`: Entry point of your application; should be `wsgi.py`.

* `FLASK_DEBUG`: Toggle debug mode on (`True`) or off (`False`).

* `SECRET_KEY`: Randomly generated string of characters used to encrypt your app's data.

* `SQLALCHEMY_DATABASE_URI`: Connection URI of a SQL database (ie: `mysql+pymysql://myuser:[email protected]:1234/mydatabase`)

* `REDIS_URI`: Connection URI of a Redis instance (ie: `redis://:[email protected]:1234`)

* `LESS_BIN` *(optional for static assets)*: Path to your local LESS installation via `which lessc`.

* `ASSETS_DEBUG` *(optional)*: Debug asset creation and bundling in `development`.

* `LESS_RUN_IN_DEBUG` *(optional)*: Debug LESS while in `development`.

* `COMPRESSOR_DEBUG` *(optional)*: Debug asset compression while in `development`.

*Remember never to commit secrets saved in .env files to Github.*

### Installation

Get up and running with `make deploy`:

```shell

git clone https://github.com/hackersandslackers/flask-session-tutorial.git

cd flask-session-tutorial

make deploy
