Quickstart
==========
The fastest way to get up and running with Flask-Dance is to start from
an example project. First, decide which :doc:`token storage
<storages>` you want to use:
* :class:`~flask_dance.consumer.storage.session.SessionStorage` is the default
because it requires zero configuration. It uses the
:ref:`Flask session <flask:sessions>` to store OAuth tokens.
It's the easiest for getting started, but it's not a good choice for
production applications.
* :class:`~flask_dance.consumer.storage.sqla.SQLAlchemyStorage` uses a
relational database to store OAuth tokens. It's great for production usage,
but it requires a relational database with `SQLAlchemy`_
and it's more complicated to set up.
If you're not sure which to pick, start with ``SessionStorage``.
You can switch later, if you want.
Next, check the lists below to find the OAuth provider you're interested in
and jump to an example project that uses Flask-Dance with that provider!

.. admonition:: Other Providers
Don't see the OAuth provider you want? Flask-Dance provides
:doc:`built-in support for even more providers <providers>`,
and you can configure Flask-Dance to support
:ref:`any custom provider you want <custom-provider>`.
Start with any of the example projects listed above, and modify it to use
the provider you want!
