Flask + EsiPy Example

This project is a small ready to work example on how to use EsiPy with Flask.

The following libraries are used:

• Flask for the webapp part
• EsiPy for the ESI API
• Flask-Login for the login / session process
• Flask-SQLAlchemy and SQLAlchemy for the database part
• Flask-Migrate for the migration commands

You will also require:

• Virtualenv to setup virtualenv
• Depending on the database you want to use, the required libraries (by default this example uses SQLite, which is embedded in Python)

Also, this example is made with Python 2.7, it might works with Python 3, but you may have to correct some lines of code

Get and init the project

1. Clone the repository on your system

git clone https://github.com/Kyria/flask-esipy-example.git

2. Create a virtualenv

cd flask-esipy-example
virtualenv venv
source venv/bin/activate

3. Install requirements

pip install -r requirements.txt

4. Setup the FLASK_APP environment variable

export FLASK_APP=app.py

Create your app in https://developers.eveonline.com

1. Go to https://developers.eveonline.com
2. Login and go to manage applications
3. Create a new application
4. Fill all the fields

Requirements:

• For the scope, you will need esi-wallet.read_character_wallet.v1 for this example
• The callback URL must be http://<SOME_IP_OR_DOMAIN>:<SOME_PORT>/sso/callback

APP Configuration

1. Copy and rename the config.dist in config.py
2. Edit it.

PORT = <SOME_PORT>
HOST = '<SOME_IP_OR_DOMAIN>'

SQLALCHEMY_DATABASE_URI = 'sqlite:///app.db'  # this is your database connection informations http://docs.sqlalchemy.org/en/latest/core/engines.html#database-urls

# Fill these lines with the data you get from https://developers.eveonline.com
ESI_SECRET_KEY = ''  # your secret key
ESI_CLIENT_ID = ''  # your client ID

How to start everything

First, you will need to run the migration to create the required user table

flask db upgrade

INFO [alembic.runtime.migration] Context impl SQLiteImpl.
INFO [alembic.runtime.migration] Will assume non-transactional DDL.
INFO [alembic.runtime.migration] Running upgrade -> fab636b98bc7, create_user_table

Run the app

python app.py

• Restarting with stat
  
• Debugger is active!
  
• Debugger PIN: 206-933-487
  
• Running on http://localhost:5015/ (Press CTRL+C to quit)

And now you can connect to http://localhost:5015/ to see it working (if you kept default configs)
