Flask REST demo with Auth

The purpose of this repo is only to demonstrate how to build a simple REST API (Blog and authorization) with Flask.

What's included?

1. MySQL support
2. Migrations
3. Authorization with JWT key
4. Flask-RestPlus integration
5. Swagger UI

Installation

I recommend using virtualenv and virtualenvwrapper to isolate packages.

Use pip to install the packages in the requirements file:

$ pip install -r requirements.txt

Initializing the db

To run the app, the database must be initialized:

$ set FLASK_APP=rest_demo/run.py
$ flask db upgrade

Running the app

Just run the included script using python:

$ python rest_demo/run.py
