smif.http_api.app module¶

Provide APP constant for the purposes of manually running the flask app

For example, build the front end::: cd smif/app/ npm run build
Or to rebuild js/css on change:: npm run watch
Then run the server app in debug mode with environment variables: FLASK_APP=smif.http_api.app FLASK_DEBUG=1 flask run

On Windows under some Flask versions, use this workaround for ‘SyntaxError: Non-UTF-8 code starting with ‘’ in file flask.exe’ (see https://github.com/pallets/flask/issues/2543):

FLASK_APP=smif.http_api.app FLASK_DEBUG=1 python -m flask run

Or if backend debug mode is not needed, just use the smif CLI:: smif app -d ../sample_project

Summary¶

Functions:
