Flask App Generator gives you the power to autogenerate a Flask app in seconds.
The application you generate will be laid out in one of the following formats:
- a 'basic' app, with just a single python file as the command center
- a 'large' app, organized as a package and separated out into distinct, specialized python files
- a 'flask-angular' app, with a Flask API and an AngularJS front-end
Beyond app creation, you'll have the ability to automatically:
- generate a virtual environment and install packages inside it
- hook into a github repo
- initialize a Heroku application and deploy to it
(it's like hackathon magic)
Enjoy, and please don't hesitate to contribute to the project or provide feedback.
