I see u are not subscribed to the #mentorship-system stream

[yashasvimisra2798]

Yes @ashwinijha6 I'll subscribe to it, however, you can tell me what problem you have here itself. You just have to see how Flask-SQLAlchemy has been used here and then write an article out of it.

[sujal111]

I am willing to work and solve this issue. Please assign me the same

[ashwinijha6]

Yes @ashwinijha6 I'll subscribe to it, however, you can tell me what problem you have here itself. You just have to see how Flask-SQLAlchemy has been used here and then write an article out of it.

Actually before making a pull request I just wanted to know certain things
This will be the Structure of the .md file

1. Flask-SQLalchemy
2. SqlAlchemy
3. Requirements
4. Create a minimal application
5. Usage in mentorship-backend
   Should I mention the API part?
   Is this ok? Should I also explain the installation of flask & flask-sqlalchemy separately ?
   Or should pip install -r requirements.txt be enough?

[yashasvimisra2798]

@ashwinijha6 you can carry on with this. I think it would be better if you kind of give a brief introduction of flask-sqlalchemy and give the link of some article where the installation is explained. Then you can carry on with the rest of the things.

[ashwinijha6]

@yashasvimisra2798 I was thinking of including this code in the md file & explaining it but I'm getting an error can u help me out with it

Code

Error (404 The requested url was not found on the server)

[ashwinijha6]

I guess it's an error with sqlite:///tmp/test.db what do u think?

[ashwinijha6]

I guess it's an error with sqlite:///tmp/test.db what do u think?

I got the error it must be //// instead of ///

[ashwinijha6]

@yashasvimisra2798 should I also mention the different sqlalchemy database uri being used for the different configurations?

[yashasvimisra2798]

Just, write briefly about them

[ashwinijha6]

Just, write briefly about them

ok

[ashwinijha6]

application = create_app(get_env_config()) @yashasvimisra2798 what does this mean this is for the flask app configuration right?

[yashasvimisra2798]

Yes

[ashwinijha6]

@yashasvimisra2798 I have added the documentation #874 pls review it but my previous commits to mentorship-backend related to some other issue also got commited along with it. What can be done?

[ashwinijha6]

@yashasvimisra2798 actually I checked out a branch from the previous branch I was working on

[ashwinijha6]

@SanketDG & @yashasvimisra2798 I have created another pull request #894 for the issue #786
I have closed the previous pull request since I messed up with the branches
I have made the changes suggested by @SanketDG.
Pls review my pull request.
