An improved shell command for the Flask CLI

Project description

Latest version Travis-CI

Flask-Konch

An improved shell command for Flask

Flask-Konch adds an improved shell command, flask konch, to the Flask CLI.

Benefits of flask konch over flask shell

  • Uses IPython, BPython, or ptpython if available, and falls back to built-in interpreter

  • Automatically imports top-level Flask functions and classes by default

  • Define additional variables to include in the shell context

  • Configurable banner and prompt

Flask-Konch uses konch, a shell configuration utility, under the hood.

Get it now

pip install flask-konch

Usage

To run the shell:

export FLASK_APP=path/to/app.py
flask konch

To add additional variables to the shell context:

app = Flask(__name__)
app.config.update({
   'KONCH_CONTEXT': {
      'db': database,
      'User': User,
   }
})

Configuration options

  • KONCH_FLASK_IMPORTS: Whether to automatically import top-level Flask functions and classes. Defaults to True.

  • KONCH_CONTEXT: Dictionary of additional variables to include in the shell context.

  • KONCH_SHELL: May be 'ipy', 'bpy', 'ptpy', 'ptipy', 'py', or 'auto' (default).

  • KONCH_BANNER: Custom banner.

  • KONCH_PROMPT: Custom prompt.

  • KONCH_CONTEXT_FORMAT: Format to display shell context. May be 'full', 'short', or a function that receives the context dictionary as input and returns a string.

  • KONCH_IPY_AUTORELOAD: Whether to load and enable the IPython autoreload extension (must be using ipython shell).

  • KONCH_IPY_EXTENSIONS: List of IPython extension names to load (must be using ipython shell).

  • KONCH_PTPY_VI_MODE: Enable vi mode (must be using ptpython shell).
