Structure

I did what most people recommend for the application's structure. Basically, everything is contained in the app/ folder.

  • There you have the classic static/ and templates/ folders. The templates/ folder contains macros, error views and a common layout.
  • I added a views/ folder to separate the user and the website logic, which could be extended to the the admin views.
  • The same goes for the forms/ folder, as the project grows it will be useful to split the WTForms code into separate files.
  • The models.py script contains the SQLAlchemy code, for the while it only contains the logic for a users table.
  • The toolbox/ folder is a personal choice, in it I keep all the other code the application will need.
  • Management commands should be included in manage.py. Enter python manage.py -? to get a list of existing commands.
  • I added a Makefile for setup tasks, it can be quite useful once a project grows.

Setup

Linux

  • Install the requirements and setup the development environment.

    make install && make dev

  • Create the database.

    python3 manage.py initdb

  • Run the application.

    python3 manage.py runserver

  • Navigate to localhost:5000.

Configuration

The goal is to keep most of the application's configuration in a single file called config.py. I added a config_dev.py and a config_prod.py who inherit from config_common.py. The trick is to symlink either of these to config.py. This is done in by running make dev or make prod.
