Flask-App-Generator is a simple Flask Application Generator/Build-Tool runs via CLI

What is Flask-App-Generator

Since Flask is commonly used in kickstarting a project, developers shouldn't waste their time with creating folders like static/css, static/js, configuration, controllers, models etc. Aim of Flask-App-Generator is auto generating necessity folders and files according to your architectural pattern.

Architecture

/your_project_folder
    .python_version
    app.py
    requirements.txt
    /apps
         __init__.py
         config.py
         /api
            __init__.py
            routes.py
         /authentication
            __init__.py
            forms.py
            models.py
            routes.py
         /static
            /assets
            /css
            /js
         /templates
            /home
                index.html
                signup.html
                login.html
            /layout
                base.html
                field.html
    

How to use

Requirements

• Python 3.x
• pyenv
• pip3

Let me explain this project with an example. Assume that we want to create an Flask Application called todo-app

GNU/Linux - OSX

Install

Clone this repo. The installation via pip will be done in the future.

Usage

• Go to the flask-app-generator folder
• Create the app! Let's assume that we want to create an app named 'todo-app'

python3 flask-app-generator.py --name todo-app --directory ~/ --db sqlite

• That's it. Now activate the virtualenv, install the requirements and run the project:

cd ~/todo-app && pyenv activate todo-app && flask run

RoadMap

• Add a run.py script to run the application
• Adding more options for configuration file.
• Handle MongoDB and Elasticsearch configuration
• Install via pip
• Handle multiple database connection?
