How do I create MORE tables after following this tutorial?

I followed the tutorial to create a simple database-backed flask website. Here

  • I successfully followed the tutorial but I'm struggling to create more than one table using this method. I want the table to be called Ingredient.

Here is my code from flask_app.py

from flask import Flask, redirect, render_template, request, url_for
from flask_sqlalchemy import SQLAlchemy


app = Flask(__name__)
app.config["DEBUG"] = True

SQLALCHEMY_DATABASE_URI = "mysql+mysqlconnector://{username}:
{password}@{hostname}/{databasename}".format(
    username="Harrryj",
    password="mypassword",
    hostname="Harrryj.mysql.pythonanywhere-services.com",
    databasename="Harrryj$comments",
)
app.config["SQLALCHEMY_DATABASE_URI"] = SQLALCHEMY_DATABASE_URI
app.config["SQLALCHEMY_POOL_RECYCLE"] = 299
app.config["SQLALCHEMY_TRACK_MODIFICATIONS"] = False
db = SQLAlchemy(app)



class Comment(db.Model):

    __tablename__ = "Comment"

    id = db.Column(db.Integer, primary_key=True)
    content = db.Column(db.String(100))


@app.route("/", methods=["GET", "POST"])
def index():
    if request.method == "GET":
            return render_template("main_page.html", comments=Comment.query.all())

    comment = Comment(content=request.form["contents"])
    db.session.add(comment)
    db.session.commit()
    return redirect(url_for('index'))



class Ingredient(db.Model):
    __tablename__ = "Ingredient"

    Ingredient_ID = db.Column(db.Integer, primary_key=True)
    Ingredient_Name = db.Column(db.String(100))
    Ingredient_Calories = db.Column(db.Integer(100))

When I try and create the table in the database through the bash console this happens:

In [6]: from flask_app import db
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
TypeError                                 Traceback (most recent call last)

     42 
---> 43 class Ingredient(db.Model):
     44     __tablename__ = "Ingredient"
     45 
/home/Harrryj/mysite/flask_app.py in Ingredient()
     46     Ingredient_ID = db.Column(db.Integer, primary_key=True)
     47     Ingredient_Name = db.Column(db.String(100))
---> 48     Ingredient_Calories = db.Column(db.Integer(100))
     49 
     50 
TypeError: object() takes no parameters

Any help would be appreciated! I know I'm missing something

hi there, i'm not sure any of us here have enough flask/sqlalchemy expertise to debug that... maybe ask on a flask or sqlalchemy mailing list?
