'Lock, stock, and ....'

Barrel bundles Flask extensions that play nice together.

Barrel is also my way to consolidate Flask/SQLAlchemy tips, tricks, lessons-learned, etc. It is not production ready, but please feel free use it as starting point and source of inspiration.

• Barrel is initialized using barrel.init, which returns a Flask app. Configuration is read from cfg.py.

• Barrel contsists of components and utilities:

  • Component foo is enabled using barrel.foo.enable(app). After that app.foo provides access to that extension:

    • admin (uses flask_admin)
    • db (uses flask_sqlalchemy)
    • forms (uses flask_wtforms)
    • logger
    • mail (uses flask_mail)
    • rest (uses flask_restful and flask_datatables)
    • security (uses flask_security)

  • Utilities do not depend on the app. They do not need to be enabled.
