Flask Framework Cookbook - Second Edition

Getting ready

The Flask-WhooshAlchemy package can be installed via pip using the following command:

 $ pip3 install git+git://github.com/gyllstromk/Flask-WhooshAlchemy.git

This will install the required packages and dependencies. This library is being cloned and installed from GitHub because it isn't highly maintained, and so the release on PyPI is not in sync with the GitHub repository. A suggested way of implementing Whoosh with the Flask application would be to use the Whoosh library directly from https://whoosh.readthedocs.io/en/latest/intro.html.
