A boilerplate project for Flask+CLI applications. More information here (original blog post here).
You must create a config.py file in the config dir of the project (an example file is provided)
The project is currently developed under Python 3.7. I recommend pyenv
to manage your Python environments. A .python-version file is supplied at the root of the project.
You'll need a new virtualenv:
$ python -m venv env
$ . env/bin/activate
Install requirements via pip:
$ pip install -r requirements.txt
It's also recommended to set your PYTHONPATH to the root of the project:
$ export PYTHONPATH=$(pwd)
I prefer to run uwsgi in development and production. Running a local server is as easy as:
$ uwsgi --ini web/uwsgi/development.ini --http :8080
You should now be able to navigate to http://127.0.0.1:8080/
A CLI example can be run via:
$ python cli/example.py
Postgres 10 is the supported RDBM.
Flyway is required for db migrations. Migration files are located in
the migrations dir.
If you are on macos, flyway can be installed via brew:
$ brew install flyway
If setting up a new database, create a flyway.conf file at the root
of the project:
flyway.url=jdbc:postgresql://<hostname>:<port>/<database>
flyway.user=<user>
flyway.password=<password>
flyway.locations=filesystem:./
You should now be ready to run flyway baseline and flyway migrate.
Basic tests are supplied in the tests dir, which can be run via pytest:
$ pytest -vs
Note: You will need to setup a test database in your config/test_config.py file.
