Flask-MongoEngine

Flask-MongoEngine is a Flask extension that provides integration with MongoEngine, WtfForms and FlaskDebugToolbar.

Installation

By default, Flask-MongoEngine will install integration only between Flask and MongoEngine. Integration with WTFForms and FlaskDebugToolbar are optional and should be selected as extra option, if required. This is done by users request, to limit amount of external dependencies in different production setup environments.

All methods end extras described below are compatible between each other and can be used together.

pip install flask-mongoengine

We still maintain special case for Flask = 1.1.4 support (the latest version in 1.x.x branch). To install flask-mongoengine with required dependencies use legacy extra option.
