Can you provide an example of how to commit and revert ?

This is just an SQLAlchemy session object, you can use everything documented at SQLAlchemy's session documentation, which contains a lot of examples.

I understand. Is it ok if I use it like this?

from flask_sqlalchemy_session import current_session
from contextlib import contextmanager

@contextmanager
def session_scope():
    s = current_session
    try:
        yield s
        s.commit()
    except:
        s.rollback()
        raise

def save(self, building):
        with session_scope() as current_session:
            current_session.add(building)
            return building.id

I assume flask-sqlalchemy-session will do the s.close() when the flask request is fulfilled. Right?

[dtheodor]

Yes. Also check http://docs.sqlalchemy.org/en/rel_1_0/orm/contextual.html

Btw, the s.rollback() you do might fail with an exception and eat up the original exception, you may want to ignore the new exception

[fwachs]

Perfect!

About the s.rollback(), should I wrap it with try except pass ?
