Quickstart

Run the following commands to bootstrap your environment

git clone https://github.com/{{cookiecutter.github_username}}/{{cookiecutter.app_name}}
cd {{cookiecutter.app_name}}
{%- if cookiecutter.use_pipenv == "yes" %}
pipenv install --dev
pipenv shell
{%- else %}
pip install -r requirements/dev.txt
{%- endif %}
cp .env.example .env
npm install
npm start  # run the webpack dev server and flask server using concurrently

You will see a pretty welcome screen.

Once you have installed your DBMS, run the following to create your app's database tables and perform the initial migration

flask db init
flask db migrate
flask db upgrade
npm start

Deployment

To deploy:

export FLASK_ENV=production
export FLASK_DEBUG=0
export DATABASE_URL="<YOUR DATABASE URL>"
npm run build   # build assets with webpack
flask run       # start the flask server

In your production environment, make sure the FLASK_DEBUG environment variable is unset or is set to 0.

Shell

To open the interactive shell, run

flask shell

By default, you will have access to the flask app.

Running Tests/Linter

To run all tests, run

flask test

To run the linter, run

flask lint

The lint command will attempt to fix any linting/style errors in the code. If you only want to know if the code will pass CI and do not wish for the linter to make changes, add the --check argument.

Migrations

Whenever a database migration needs to be made. Run the following commands

flask db migrate
