Flask Flask-SQLAlchemy Installation and Initial Example
Example
Installation
pip install Flask-SQLAlchemy
Simple Model
class User(db.Model):
id = db.Column(db.Integer, primary_key=True)
name = db.Column(db.String(80))
email = db.Column(db.String(120), unique=True)
The code example above shows a simple Flask-SQLAlchemy model, we can add an optional tablename to the model declaration however it is often not necessary as Flask-SQLAlchemy will automatically use the class name as the table name during database creation.
Our class will inherit from the baseclass Model which is a configured declarative base hence there is no need for us to explicitly define the base as we would when using SQLAlchemy.
