Flask Dashboard

Hello Coders

Because I'm a big fan of Flask and the open-source concept, in this article I will present a short list with Flask Dashboards coded with a minimum set of features (database, ORM, authentication, deployment scripts) and released under the MIT license.

For newcomers, Flask is a lightweight web application framework written in Python that can be easily extended - Thanks for reading!


The motivation

Lately, I'm focusing a lot on boilerplate code and automation tools in order to win time cut the repetitive small tasks, and use a clean code-base each time I start a new project. To speed up my development, my plan is simple:

  • Use stable and simple boilerplate code when I start a new project
  • Write tools to integrate automatically the design (extract HTML components, replace hardcoded texts with variables.. etc)
  • Use scripts to automate the deployments and use modern platforms (Heroku, Azure)

The result of this semi-automated process is this shortlists with Flask Dashboards, coded in less than one hour each. The hard part, in this automated process, is the HTML processing phase but I plan to write a separate article about it.


What is Flask

Flask is a lightweight WSGI web application framework. It is designed to make getting started quick and easy, with the ability to scale up to complex applications. Classified as a microframework, Flask is written in Python and it does not require particular tools or libraries. It has no database abstraction layer, form validation, or any other components where pre-existing third-party libraries provide common functions.

Thank you very much. Your article is very helpful. I'm new to web development, actually, I've only made some REST API web servers with Bottle. Now, I'd like to create a web app for myself based on one of these dashboards (and honestly I don't want to deal with front-end a lot lot!), but I don't know how and where to start. Can you please tell me what should I do? Can I develop my project by altering and developing one of these projects?
