This script is for generating a barebone phase 3 project that's already configured for Flask-SQLAlchemy. It is based of of this phase 4 Flask project generator by instructor Enoch Griffith.
- Create your pipenv virtual environment
- Create and configure a barebone flask application
- Install all needed packages for your flask application
- Initializes your sqlalchemy database, so no need to flask db init or create your base revision
- Create a README
- Make your initial commit for you
- Connect your project to github, you will still need to create a new repository in github
- Fill out your README.md for you, you will still need to fill this out
- Add any additional packages you want to add for Flask. You will do that as normal
- Automatically put you into your pipenv shell, you will need to run that command in order to be in your virtual environment
- Create a directory for your project and cd into your project
- open up the terminal in your project directory (make sure your terminal shows the project directory)
- run in the terminal:
curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/learn-co-students/flatiron-cli-project-generator/main/script.sh | bash
- Grab some popcorn
You're Flask CLI project is ready to go! Create models / seeds / etc... You will not have to worry about initializing your database with flask db init, flask db revision -m 'initial db', flask db upgrade head. That is already done for you! You will however need to: cd server, use pipenv shell in order to go into your virtual environment, run python app.py to run your cli application.
