This repository is an extension to the excellent "The Ultimate Flask Front-End", which is about several years old, and broken in a few places. This repository addresses those breakages. This repository also provides minimal instructions to deploy the app to AWS Lambda.

pip install -r requirements.txt
bower install
npm install

To test locally, run the following commands in two different tabs, and visit http://localhost:5000:

gulp

sh ./launch_server.sh

1. Create a build/ directory at the top level

2. Copy project/app.py into build/

3. Copy project/static/scripts/js, project/static/css and project/templates recursively into build/

4. Deploy either using:

   4.1. zappa (read the instructions carefully and deploy to exactly 1 region). One thing to note is you don't explicitly need to create a Lambda handler; zappa will do it for you.:

   zappa init
   zappa deploy

   4.2. Alternately,

   • create a Lambda handler function in build/app.py
   • create a CloudFormation stack by packaging the build/ directory and deploying it to a Lambda function.
