# Flasik

[

[Documentation](https://mardix.github.io/flasik)

**Flasik** is A mid stack, batteries framework based on Flask. It adds structure 
to your Flask application, and group the endpoints by classes instead of just 
loose functions. 

Technically Flasik is my attempt of making a simple framework based on Flask Great Again!


## Decisions made for you + Features

- Smart routing: automatically generates routes based on the classes and methods in your views

- Class name as the base url, ie: class UserAccount will be accessed at '/user-account'

- Class methods (action) could be accessed: hello_world(self) becomes 'hello-world'

- Smart Rendering without adding any blocks in your templates

- Auto rendering by returning a dict of None


- Templates are mapped as the model in the class the $module/$class/$method.html

- Markdown ready: Along with  HTML, it can also properly parse Markdown

- Auto route can be edited with @route()

- Restful: GET, POST, PUT, DELETE

- REST API Ready

- bcrypt is chosen as the password hasher

- Session: Redis, AWS S3, Google Storage, SQLite, MySQL, PostgreSQL

- ORM: [Active-Alchemy](https://github.com/mardix/active-alchemy) (SQLALchemy wrapper)

- ReCaptcha: [Flask-Recaptcha](https://github.com/mardix/flask-recaptcha)

- Uses Arrow for dates 

- Active-Alchemy saves the datetime as arrow object, utc_now

- CSRF on all POST

- CloudStorage: Local, S3, Google Storage [Flask-Cloudy](https://github.com/mardix/flask-cloudy)

- Mailer (SES or SMTP)

- Caching

- Propel for deployment

- Decorators, lots of decorators

To install Flasik, it is highly recommended to use a virtualenv, in this case I 
use virtualenvwrapper 

    mkvirtualenv my-flasik-site
