A canonical backbone todo application running on flask and RethinkDB
A demo web application in the spirit of TodoMVC showing how to use RethinkDB as a backend for Flask and Backbone.js applications.
As any todo application, this one implements the following functionality:
One feature we've left out as an exercise is making this Flask todo app force users to complete their tasks. In time.
git clone git://github.com/rethinkdb/rethinkdb-example-flask-backbone-todo.git pip install Flask pip install rethinkdb
Make sure you have RethinkDB running.
If you are not running RethinkDB on your local machine with the default settings,
update the
todo.pyfile on lines 21 and 22.
Note: If you don't have RethinkDB installed, you can follow these instructions to get it up and running.
Firstly we'll need to create the database
todoappand the table used by this app:
todos. You can do this by running:
python todo.py --setup
Flask provides an easy way to run the app:
python todo.py
Then open a browser: http://localhost:5000/.
