  1. Challenge

    Admin Blueprint

    Overview

    Python & Flask are great for building a simple web application. In this project you’ll create and register blueprints to make an existing content management system more modular. You will also handle and validate form data.

    Over the course of this module we will create a Flask Blueprint. You can think of a Flask Blueprint as an application component. It isn't an application itself, but can be registered in an application. This allows for a more modular architecture. The Blueprint has to have somewhere to live, so we will need to add a new folder and two new files. ### Solution The solution can be found in the solution directory.
