Flask-with-ChromeApp

A simple flask code transformed in one "app.exe" and run with ChromeApp

TO UNDERSTAND THIS PROJECT, YOU NEED TO KNOW, BASIC PYTHON AND HTML!!!

I tried to explain everything, but some doubt, you could send a mensage.

You need to this project -> Python, Flask, PyInstaller and pymysql.

* pymysql, is only for MySQL, you can change this if you use any other type of database.

Your Database, use witch better for you, in this project, I used MySQL. Works with all accept by Python!

Know the basic in HTML, CSS and JavaScript to use Flask.
 For the Framework:
    - Strongly recommended Jquery and Materialize (I used it in this project)
    - You can change for another, it's your choice!

Tree folder:

app
  - app.py (main)
  - options.py (settings DB)
  - storage.py (connection with MySQL Database, CRUD)
  - reg.py (catch chrome path)
  - car_bd.sql (sql file with Database Syntax)

  templates (HTML Template)
    - index_base.html (base for the Header and footer in index)
    - index.html (Login)
    - car.html (Principal page/ Consult, Edit and Delete)
    - car_base.html (base for the Header and footer in car and new_car)
    - new_car.html (Register page/ Insert)

  static (stay image)
    - admin.jpg (pricipal image)
    - favicon.jpg (icon to app.exe)
    - office.jpg (backgroun on menu tab)

venv (so necessary)
 _This is a Virtual Environment on Python!

For PyInstaller you need compile the code on Python 3.X until 3.6 (not working 3.7)

• pyinstaller --onefile --windowed --add-data "templates;templates" --add-data "static;static" --icon=favicon.ico app.py

  --onefile (create only .exe)
  --windowed (not open cmd viewer)
  --add-data (import the templates and static folders to .exe)
  --icon (just put a icon on your .exe)
  

TO RUN:

ALL THE STEPS INSIDE COMMAND PROMPT

Start with venv.
    on your promp, type: "pip install virtualenv" to install.
    next "virtualenv venv", to create.
    active:
        - MAC/OS and LINUX:
            "source venv/bin/activate"
        - Windows:
            "venv\Scripts\activate"
            
Install all pip extensions.

Inside the folder "app"
    Set up the FLASK APP:
        - Windowns:
            "set FLASK_APP=app.py"

        - Linux and MAC/OS:
            "export FLASK_APP=app.py"

    To start the project:
        - run: "flask run"
    
Optional:
    to turn flask in the DEBUG mode.
        - This mode will update the code automatically
        
        To turn on DEBUG mode:
            "set FLASK_ENV=development" on windows
            "export FLASK_ENV=development" on LINUX
