microblog VS RSpec style guide

In this blog, we're going to address the "on any website" part of a Search Solution. Or at least - propose a starting point for it. There are many great tutorials out there for a deep dive on Flask - one of the best from my colleague Miguel.

If you'd like to deploy a web app, Flask is your best friend. It's very user friendly and there's a lot of great tutorials online. The only thing you'd need other than Python knowledge is some basic understanding of HTML/CSS and Jinja notation for variables, both of which are pretty intuitive to learn. Good luck!

I can't speak highly enough of Miguel Grinberg's work with Python/Flask (https://blog.miguelgrinberg.com/post/the-flask-mega-tutorial...) and the community he's created around it, for both beginners and advanced folks.

Racing through his mega tutorial was a great refresher for me on the fundamentals, and it's easy to plug in computer vision & related libraries/extensions/packages.

I got a recommendation (from a few places) to use Miguel Grinberg's microblog series to help me get up to speed on some flask things. I'm on ch 15 with blueprints, and am running into pylint cyclic import errors, both on my app and in the actual project (https://github.com/miguelgrinberg/microblog/tree/v0.15?search=1)

In the project root directory create a folder called static with one subfolder called js and another called css. The js folder will contain all of the needed local JavaScript files while the css folder will contain all the CSS stylesheets. In the js folder create a file called index.js and in the css folder one called style.css. Just leave them empty for now. If you want to find out more about web development with Flask I suggest you try out this tutorial. Your current project structure should like this:

betterspecs.org is a good resource.

Both sites advocate for factories over fixtures (though there is a not clear consensus). With fixtures, test objects are all defined in fixture files with predefined data. Fixtures can be used across tests but modifying an existing fixture can break tests that depend on that fixture. As a codebase grows managing fixtures for all the various states of your object can be difficult. In comparison, factories let you build and configure new objects per test.
