Getting Started

Project setup

Create a new project

First, let's create our new project, let's call it meld-example:

meld new project meld-example

This will create the meld-example directory with the following content:

meld-example
├── app
│   └── __init__.py
│   └── meld
│   │   └── components
│   │   └── templates
│   └── static
│   └── templates
│   └── wsgi.py
├── tests
├── config.py
└── requirements.txt

Use Meld in an existing project

Meld can be added to an existing application by completing the following steps:

• Import Meld into your application with from flask_meld import Meld
• Initialize the Meld extension.
  • If you are using the Application Factory pattern, this means adding meld = Meld() and meld.init_app(app) in your __init__.py file.
  • If using a single app.py instead of using the init_app you can simply initialize Meld by using `Meld(app)
  • Add {% meld_scripts %} in the body of your base HTML template
  • Use the socketio server to serve your application with socketio.run(app) or to specify a port and debugging use socketio.run(app=app, port=5000, debug=True)
