This method uses a basic HTML form and handles log-ins manually (rather than `flask-login` or `flask-auth`).
|
|
It uses `sessions` to handle user interactions (rather than cookies).
|
|
A better method would be to layer this with other Flask modules, such as `flask-login`, `flask-auth`, `flask-wtforms`, etc.
|
|
This tutorial is nevertheless really useful for integrating with **MongoDB**.
