## Welcome to The Build a SAAS App with Flask Course!



*A video course where we build a real world web application with Flask, Celery,

Redis, PostgreSQL, Stripe and Docker.*



**Full details on the course can be found here:**  

[https://buildasaasappwithflask.com](https://buildasaasappwithflask.com/?utm_source=github&utm_medium=bsawf&utm_campaign=readme-top)



### Getting started



You'll need to enable Docker Compose v2 support if you're using Docker

Desktop. On native Linux without Docker Desktop you can [install it as a plugin

to Docker](https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/linux/). It's been generally

available for a while now and is stable. This project uses specific [Docker

Compose v2

features](https://nickjanetakis.com/blog/optional-depends-on-with-docker-compose-v2-20-2)

that only work with Docker Compose v2 2.20.2+.



```sh

cp .env.example .env

docker compose up --build

```



After everything is up and running, visit http://localhost:8000.



Did you receive a `depends_on` "Additional property required is not allowed"

error? Please update to at least Docker Compose v2.20.2+ or Docker Desktop

4.22.0+.



Did you receive an error about a port being in use? Chances are it's because

something on your machine is already running on port 8000. Check out the docs

in the `.env` file for the `DOCKER_WEB_PORT_FORWARD` variable to fix this.



Did you receive a permission denied error? Chances are you're running native

Linux and your `uid:gid` aren't `1000:1000` (you can verify this by running

`id`). Check out the docs in the `.env` file to customize the `UID` and `GID`

variables to fix this.



### How does this source code differ than what's in the course?



In the course we build up a 4,000+ line Flask application in 15 stages while

I'm at your side explaining my thought process along the way. You will get to

see the source code grow from a single `app.py` file to a large code base that

spans across dozens of files and folders.



#### This repo includes up to the 6th stage. By this point in the code base, you'll be introduced to concepts such as:



- Using Docker to "Dockerize" a multi-service Flask app

- Using Flask extensions

- Flask blueprints

- Jinja templates

- Working with forms

- Sending e-mails through Celery

- Testing and analyzing your code base



#### The rest of the course covers topics such as:



- A crash course on Docker and Docker Compose (including multi-stage builds)

- Going over the application's architecture and tech choices

- Creating a full blown user management system

- Creating a custom admin dashboard

- Logging, middleware and error handling

- Using Click to create custom CLI commands

- Accepting recurring credit card payments with Stripe

- Building up a dice game called "Snake Eyes"

- Responding with JSON from Flask and creating AJAX requests

- Processing microtransaction payments with Stripe

- Dealing with database migrations

- Converting your app to support multiple languages (i18n)

- A crash course on Webpack, ES6 JavaScript and SCSS



**By the time you finish the course, you'll have all the confidence you need to

build a large web application with Flask**.

There's over 187 video lessons, 25+ hours of content, coding exercises and an

e-book that's included. You also get free updates for life as well as life time

support. I've added 15+ hours of free updates over the years.



These updates range from adding new features like Webpack to keeping Python,

Node and all package / service versions up to date. There's even 1 update

that's a 5 hour live recording where I updated a bunch of things at once. This

includes using git too (making good commits, interactive rebasing, etc.), live

debugging and Googling for errors.



Also as a bonus, there's an additional 18 video lessons and 3 hours of content

that covers building a separate RESTful API driven application that uses

websockets.
