Platform Architect Development Framework

ASKE - Platform Architect Development Framework

ASKE is a command-line tool designed to simplify and accelerate the process of initializing and managing development projects. Initially, ASKE focuses on Python, providing an automated way to set up a Python environment complete with virtual environments, git initialization, and essential project files. This allows developers to focus on coding rather than repetitive setup tasks.

Why ASKE?

In modern development, setting up a new project can be time-consuming with manual steps for configuration and environment setup. ASKE was created to:

• Automate Repetitive Tasks: Quickly initialize a new project with a standardized structure.

• Boost Productivity: Reduce setup time so you can concentrate on development.

• Lay the Foundation for Multi-Framework Support: While ASKE currently focuses on Python, future versions will support additional frameworks such as Node.js, Ruby, Java, Go, and PHP.

Installation

Using pip

Install ASKE globally via pip:

pip install aske

Using Homebrew

Alternatively, if you prefer Homebrew (note that the Homebrew formula is pending integration into the official Homebrew-core):

brew tap caraveo/aske && brew install aske

Usage

To create a new Python project, use the following command:

aske python project-name

This command will:

- Create a new project directory named project-name.
- Set up a Python virtual environment inside the directory.
- Generate essential project files (e.g., requirements.txt, .env, and a starter app.py).
- Initialize a Git repository for version control.

Future Framework Support

ASKE is built with extensibility in mind. Planned future enhancements include support for:

- Node.js: (e.g., Express, NestJS)
- Ruby: (e.g., Rails, Sinatra)
- Java: (e.g., Spring Boot)
- Go: (e.g., Gin, Echo)
- PHP: (e.g., Laravel)

These additions will make ASKE a versatile initializer for a wide range of development environments.
