flask-app-core

application core for flask-starter-kit

Installation

pip install flask-app-core

view on pypi

https://pypi.python.org/pypi/flask-app-core

Create Starter application

create start.py to your root directory

paste the code below

import sys
from flask_app_core import Bootstrap
from app.config.app import DevelopmentConfig


if __name__ == "__main__":
    bootstrap = Bootstrap(import_name=__name__, main_dir=__file__)
    bootstrap.start()

main_dir=__file__

This points your app root directory __file__ represents your app main filename 
where it will be used for internal pointer to Flask library

Advance Configuration

from path.to.your.config.class import DevelopmentConfig


if __name__ == "__main__":
bootstrap = Bootstrap(
    import_name=__name__, 
    app_dir=__file__, 
    config=DevelopmentConfig, 
    environment='development')
    
bootstrap.start()

Create a folder named "module" in your application roon directory before running the application

 It states that all your routing config and API modules are located on the "module directory"

Custom module configuration

if __name__ == "__main__":
bootstrap = Bootstrap(
    import_name=__name__, 
    app_dir=__file__, 
    module="to/module/directory"
    config=DevelopmentConfig, 
    environment='development')
    
bootstrap.start()

If no configuration file feed as parameter it will fetch the default DEVELOPMENT 

configuration choices: 'development' or 'production'

Example config class

"""
    flask configuration found in http://flask.pocoo.org/docs/0.12/config/
"""


class BaseConfig:
    HOST = "127.0.0.1"
    PORT = 8000
    ADMINS = frozenset(['[email protected]'])
    SECRET_KEY = 'SecretKeyForSessionSigning'
    CSRF_ENABLED = True
    CSRF_SESSION_KEY = "somethingimpossibletoguess"


class ProductionConfig(BaseConfig):
    DEBUG = True


class DevelopmentConfig(BaseConfig):
    DEBUG = True


class TestingConfig(BaseConfig):
    TESTING = True

If set to production the debug will be over written to False

Module Views

make_response(render_template('index/view.html', title="Flask Starter Kit!"))

path

path starts from your root module directory

~/your_module_directory
---|/module_name
------| view.html

Therefore the path in the example above should be

make_response(render_template('module_name/view.html', title="Flask Starter Kit!"))
