I am trying to define a mongodb object inside main flask app. And I want to send that object to one of the blueprints that I created. I may have to create more database objects in main app and import them in different blueprints. I tried to do it this way.
from flask import Flask, render_template
import pymongo
from admin_component.bp1 import bp_1
def init_db1():
try:
mongo = pymongo.MongoClient(
host='mongodb+srv://<username>:<passwrd>@cluster0.bslkwxdx.mongodb.net/?retryWrites=true&w=majority',
serverSelectionTimeoutMS = 1000
)
db1 = mongo.test_db1.test_collection1
mongo.server_info() #this is the line that triggers exception.
return db1
except:
print('Cannot connect to db!!')
app = Flask(__name__)
app.register_blueprint(bp_1, url_prefix='/admin') #only if we see /admin in url we gonna extend things in bp_1
with app.app_context():
db1 = init_db1()
@app.route('/')
def test():
return '<h1>This is a Test</h1>'
if __name__ == '__main__':
app.run(port=10001, debug=True)
And this is the blueprint and I tried to import the init_db1 using current_app.
from flask import Blueprint, render_template, Response, request, current_app
import pymongo
from bson.objectid import ObjectId
import json
bp_1 = Blueprint('bp1', __name__, static_folder='static', template_folder='templates')
print(current_app.config)
db = current_app.config['db1']
But it gives this error without specifying more details into deep.
raise RuntimeError(unbound_message) from None
RuntimeError: Working outside of application context.
This typically means that you attempted to use functionality that needed
the current application. To solve this, set up an application context
with app.app_context(). See the documentation for more information.
Can someone point out what am I doing wrong here??
