This example uses the Flask micro framework to create a basic URL shortener using Prisma.

The code in this example has been modified from: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-make-a-url-shortener-with-flask-and-sqlite

Create and activate a virtual environment

python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate

Install requirements

pip install -U -r requirements.txt

Setup the database and generate the prisma client

prisma db push

Run the Flask HTTP server

export FLASK_APP=app
export FLASK_ENV=development
flask run

Try out the URL Shortener by opening http://127.0.0.1:5000 in your browser!

If you want to modify the code you should also type check it, you can do so with pyright.

Install

For full disclosure it should be noted that I maintain the PyPi package for pyright which is a wrapper over the official version

pip install -U -r types.txt pyright

Run

pyright
