In this post I’ll be showing how you can pretty easily write your own vanilla JavaScript to replace jQuery when using bootstrap modals.

There is a plethora of guides out there about how to securely store passwords, but there are not as many of those guides that apply to Flask specifically. I spend quite a bit of my free time on the Pallets discord helping people out with their Flask questions, and often enough we have people storing passwords as plain text. So I thought I would write about the different options one has for correctly storing passwords in a Flask app.

I recently found myself wanting to do method spoofing in flask. It turned out this isn’t such a simple straight forward thing to do. So sit back while I take you down the rabbit hole that is method spoofing in flask.

This post is a little bit of a rant about trying to be too clever in code. The kind of code that you might have written 3 months ago and now can’t decipher, let alone other people.

I’ve been using Flask to build web applications for over a year now. I always use WTForms for my form validation Eventually I needed to create a more interactive form that submitted with AJAX instead of a more traditional form submit, but I wanted to continue to use WTForms for validation. Here I will demonstrate how I reused my existing WTForms validation with JSON/AJAX requests.
