# What is it #

A demo web application in the spirit of [TodoMVC](http://addyosmani.github.com/todomvc/) showing how to use **RethinkDB as a backend for Flask and Backbone.js applications**.

As any todo application, this one implements the following functionality:

* Managing database connections

* List existing todos

* Create new todo

* Retrieve a single todo

* Edit a todo or mark a todo as done

* Delete a todo

One feature we've left out as an exercise is making this Flask todo app force  users to complete their tasks. In time.

# Complete stack #

* [Flask](http://flask.pocoo.org)

* [Backbone](http://backbonejs.org)

* [RethinkDB](http://www.rethinkdb.com)

# Installation #

```

git clone git://github.com/rethinkdb/rethinkdb-example-flask-backbone-todo.git

pip install Flask

pip install rethinkdb

```

# Start RethinkDB #

Make sure you have RethinkDB running.  

If you are not running RethinkDB on your local machine with the default settings,

update the `todo.py` file on lines 21 and 22.

_Note_: If you don't have RethinkDB installed, you can follow [these instructions to get it up and running](http://www.rethinkdb.com/docs/install/). 

# Running the application #

Firstly we'll need to create the database `todoapp` and the table used by this app: `todos`. You can

do this by running:

```

python todo.py --setup

```

Flask provides an easy way to run the app:

```

python todo.py

```

Then open a browser: .
