Blog post from Stream
The fifth installment of a tutorial series on creating a full-stack application using Flask and Stream covers setting up a customizable user profile page, integrating content with Stream, and creating a testing module for application validation. The tutorial begins by creating a user.html template to display user information, utilizing Jinja for conditional rendering, and setting up routes to manage user data retrieval. It then guides users through adding a profile link to the navbar for easy navigation and updating the database with new fields using Alembic for migrations. The series emphasizes testing application functions through a newly created testing module, designed to ensure functionality and reliability. Additionally, it introduces the Stream-Python library for managing user activities and encourages experimentation with its features. The tutorial underscores the importance of testing and database management while preparing for more advanced functionalities such as user collections in the upcoming parts of the series.
