Getting The Database Connection From Application Context With Flask-restful

I have an app using Flask-Restful and I don't know how to get the database connection info from the application context. Here is what I have so far: app.py: .... from flask.ext.res

Solution 1:

Well, for my project I use this kind of structure:

application/__init__.py

...
app = Flask(__name__)
...
db  = SQLAlchemy(app) #because I use sqlalchemy
...
import application.core 

application/core.py

from application.api import resource
...
# api definition

application/api/resource.py

from application import db
...
db.doWhatEverYouWant()
...

It's certainly not perfect but I don't have such kind of circular import problems.
