The best video on flask-session extension. I was confused why I should use flask-session extension instead of the built-in session, for my web app and now it's clear what's better.

Sweet. I found out only a week ago that flask sessions are actually client side for some reason (always assumed they were server side). Took me some time to figure out how to make it server side. Great that you let people know / explain it so simply. Great video as always.

[getoverhere]

Perfect actually. Exactly what I need for my current project

[HandcartRule]

Really love your videos. You are the best at explaining web programming; fantastic pace and tempo.

You made this easy. Question. I was already using SQLAlchemy with an existing MySQL Database. I set the flask session to use filesystem. 1) Is that just as efficient as storing the session in MySQL database. 2) if I were to use SQLAlchemy and store the session data in MySQL Can I just create the table in MySQL using Workbench? What column names would I need to create?

very well explained sir..thank you for sharing your knowledge..

[mersancanonigo]

How can I implement it with multiple user?

[ironF]

i already have a postgress db and it has values like username, email and password etc, now I want to add this flask_session functionality in my app with following configurations:
app.config["SESSION_TYPE"] = "sqlalchemy"
= db
do I need to delete that previous db and create a new1 as it gives error at my end:

relation "sessions" does not exist
LINE 2: FROM sessions "

[druffkopf]

Very good Video! I appreciate it. But I have a question:
How easy is it to Hijack server side sessions in flask?

[luccaraucci]

My app uses Mysql is it possible to make it ?

[naveenchandravanshi]

Hi sir I am big fan of yours learn many things from you I am requesting you will you please make a video how we can use slave database in flask with master so that we can separate read and write operation.
Thankyou waiting for your next video and hoping for a reply as well

How does the session get clear ?? I want to know that is there any perticular command to clear session data or flask do that automatically? In both cases session and flask-session

[constantinewesterink]

Can you make a general flask socketio video, that is not a chat tutorial.

[sankatsiddhartha]

Brother very helpfull tutorial. But please tell me how to delete i.e. clear session from sqlalchemy db as well as browser. Because if the user logs in then from your tutorial i have implement a restful flask app with sessions but i also want to clear the session after user logs out.

Hi Anthony it will be great if you can make a video on signals in flask and flask-sqlalchemy
Example when user delete a post then images related to those post should automatically be deleted

And other flask signals like before request and other like this
Thanks 😊
