如何使用SQLAlchemy将远程MySQL数据库连接到flask应用程序？

Question

I want to connect to online MySQL DB to the flask app I made, so I can get rid of localhost stuff.

I have this code

from flask import Flask, request, jsonify
from flask_sqlalchemy import SQLAlchemy
import os
import uuid
from werkzeug.security import generate_password_hash , check_password_hash

app = Flask(__name__)

app.config['SECRET_KEY'] = 'thisissecret'
# app.config['SQLALCHEMY_DATABASE_URI'] = os.environ['sqlite:////Users/confuapplication/PycharmProjects/untitled/.db']
app.config['SQLALCHEMY_DATABASE_URI'] = 'mysql://saifaliunity:123123123!@saifaliunity.mysql.pythonanywhere-services.com/saifaliunity$todo';
# app.config['SQLALCHEMY_DATABASE_URI'] = os.environ['DATABASE_URL']

db = SQLAlchemy(app)

So well this is what localhost environment is, I have setup MySQL and python app online and want to set dbname, host, username, password to the flask app. But don't know how to do this.

After using the answer below this is the error log.

Answer 1

The SQLALCHEMY_DATABASE_URI should be mysql://username:password@server/db , replace username , password , server and db with your values.

See the documentation for more details: http://flask-sqlalchemy.pocoo.org/2.3/config/
