This project is my GAE project template.
And the example application uses History to link pages, so that all hyperlinks are ajax.

##Example application
Board: https://flask-gae-kelp.appspot.com/posts
Chat: https://flask-gae-kelp.appspot.com/chat
##Deploy with appcfg.py
You should create a GAE account.
https://appengine.google.com
###update `app.yaml`
```Python
application: flask-gae-kelp
'flask-gae-kelp' should replace to your Application Identifier.
```
###deploy project
**deploy**
```bash
# Flask-GAE is the folder name of the project
$ appcfg.py update Flask-GAE/
```
**deploy backends**
```bash
$ appcfg.py backends Flask-GAE/ update
```
###deleting unused indexes
```bash
$ appcfg.py vacuum_indexes Flask-GAE/
# https://developers.google.com/appengine/docs/python/tools/uploadinganapp?hl=en#Deleting_Unused_Indexes
```
##Development
```bash
# install node modules
$ npm install
```
```bash
# run the local server and the file watcher to compile CoffeeScript
$ grunt dev
```
###[Closure Compiler](https://code.google.com/p/closure-compiler/)
You could download compiler form [Google Code](https://code.google.com/p/closure-compiler/wiki/BinaryDownloads?tm=2).
**[File Watchers][File Watchers]:**
Watcher Settings | value
:---------:|:---------:
Program | /Users/Kelp/tool/closure-compiler/compiler.jar
Arguments | --compilation_level SIMPLE_OPTIMIZATIONS --js $FileName$
Output paths | $FileNameWithoutExtension$.min.js
(Create output file from stdout)

##Unittest
Before test, you should run GAE local server, and clear datastore, text search, and update url in function 'setUp()'.
```Python
class TestFunctions(unittest.TestCase):
def setUp(self):
self.url = 'http://localhost:8081'
self.email = '[email protected]'
self.cookies = { 'dev_appserver_login': "[email protected]:True:111325016121394242422" }
```
clear datastore & text search:
```
--clear_datastore=yes --clear_search_indexes=yes
```
```bash
$ cd Flask-GAE
$ python tests
```
