B. Becoming an expert
This book is designed to make developers productive with Flask so it skips over some of the detailed implementation details of Flask. The following list provides you with a way to become more of an expert with Flask.
| Topic | Suggested Reading |
|---|---|
| The application context stack & global objects | The Flask documentation provides useful context for how this is used within Flask. |
| APIs using Flask-Restful | Refer to the API code in Flask Ignite or the Flask-Restful documentation |
| Reset Password, OAuth | Refer to the implementation in Flask Ignite |
| Flask CLI interface | Refer to an example in Flask Ignite |
| Custom URL Argument Parsers/Types | View examples in Flask Ignite |
| Python Decorators | View examples of decorators in Flask Login |
| Building your own flask extensions | The Flask documentation here is pretty comprehensive |
| Community Flask Resources | Refer to lists like Awesome-Flask |
| Using Pipenv | A single requirements.txt file doesn't do a good job of capturing development only requirements, locking versions, and virtual environments. Tools like Pipenv provide a good alternative when your project and team size grows |
| Scheduling Jobs using RQ | You can schedule jobs using RQ as well, using the built in scheduler. |
