How is authentication handled in this Flask skill?

The skill implements JSON Web Tokens (JWT) using flask-jwt-extended, providing secure login, registration, and role-based access control (RBAC).

Does it include input validation?

Yes, the skill provides custom decorators for JSON request validation to ensure data integrity and return standardized error messages.

Does this skill support relational databases?

Yes, it includes pre-configured patterns for SQLAlchemy, facilitating seamless integration with PostgreSQL, SQLite, and other major relational databases.

Is this suitable for microservices architecture?

Absolutely. The modular Blueprint architecture and lightweight footprint make it an ideal foundation for building independent, scalable microservices.

Why use the application factory pattern provided?

The application factory pattern allows for better testability and cleaner multi-environment configuration (development, testing, and production) by avoiding global app instances.
