## Instalation

This is finally on PyPi. So for easy instalation:

``` sh
pip install flask-appbuilder
```

for your first application you can use "skeleton" ou "examples/simpleapp"

### Initial configuration

After having the initial skeleton of you app, initialize the database.

Use init_app.py (folder scripts on git) will create a fresh new database, and add an 'admin' user with all permissions.
The 'admin' password will be 'general' change it on your first access using the application.
(Click the username on the navigation bar, then choose 'Reset Password')

## Base Configuration

Use config.py to configure the following parameters, by default it will use SQLLITE DB, and bootstrap 3.0.0 base theme:

- Database connection string (SQLALCHEMY_DATABASE_URI)
- AUTH_TYPE: This is the authentication type
-- 0 = Open ID
-- 1 = Database style (user/password)
- AUTH_ROLE_ADMIN: Configure the name of the admin role. All you new models and view will have automatic full access on this role
- APP_NAME: The name of your application
- APP_THEME: Various themes for you to choose from (bootwatch).

## How to do it?

It's very easy and fast to create an application out of the box, with detailed security:

### Define your models (models.py):

```python
class Group(db.Model):
id = db.Column(db.Integer, primary_key = True)
name = db.Column(db.String(264), unique = True, nullable=False)
address = db.Column(db.String(564))
phone1 = db.Column(db.String(50))
phone2 = db.Column(db.String(50))
taxid = db.Column(db.Integer)
notes = db.Column(db.String(550))

def __repr__(self):
return self.name

```

Notice: link_contacts is a function, but it's included as a model column

### Define your Views (views.py):

```python
class GroupGeneralView(GeneralView):
route_base = '/groups'
datamodel = SQLAModel(Group)
decorators = [login_required]

list_title = 'List Groups'
show_title = 'Show Group'
add_title = 'Add Group'
edit_title = 'Edit Group'

label_columns = { 'name':'Name','address':'Address','phone1':'Phone (1)','phone2':'Phone (2)','taxid':'Tax ID','notes':'Notes'}
description_columns = {'name':'Write this group name'}
list_columns = ['name','notes']
show_columns = ['name','address','phone1','phone2','taxid','notes']
order_columns = ['name','notes']
search_columns = ['name']


genapp = General(app, Menu())
genapp.add_view(GroupGeneralView, "List Groups","/groups/list","th-large","Contacts")
```

### Some pictures

Master Detail view with related lists:

Login page (with AUTH_DB):
![Homeapp](https://raw.github.com/dpgaspar/homeapp/master/login.png "Login")

### Depends on:

- flask
- flask-sqlalchemy
- flask-login
- flask-openid
- flask-wtform
- flask-Babel

### Planning to include:

- Security for ldap auth.
- Easy page flow definition (wizard style).

This code includes a simple contacts app, and file browser for download and upload.

Currently using it on a Raspberry PI, :)

This is not production ready.
