This is a starting point for a Flask website + API using:

• Flask-Restless (API)
• Flask-Security (Authentication)
• Flask-JWT (API authentication)
• Flask-Admin (Admin views)
• SQLAlchemy (ORM)

Plus stubs for

• Templates
• Testing

I got the basic idea from Nic: http://stackoverflow.com/a/24258886/700283

The goal here is simple code. You can read through everything in a short time and get a good idea of how you could put these pieces together.

• Create and activate a vitualenv
• Run pip install -r requirements.txt
• Start server using python server.py

Website

• Access site at /. Not much there, just a basic example for logging in

Admin

• Access admin at /admin

API auth

• POST /api/v1/auth {'username': '', 'password': ''}
• Returns JSON with {'access_token':''}
• Then request from API using header 'Authorization: JWT $token'

Tests

• Run tests using python test.py
