A CLI tool for Flaskion — a lightweight MVC micro-framework built on Flask

Flaskion

Flaskion is a lightweight MVC micro-framework for Flask, providing developers with a structured foundation for scalable, maintainable applications. Inspired by Laravel, Flaskion introduces clean architecture, modular scaffolding, and a developer-first CLI to streamline your Flask workflow.

🚀 Features

✅ MVC Architecture – Clean separation of controllers, models, and templates
✅ Built-in CLI – Scaffold full resources, controllers, models, and authentication with ease
✅ Web & API Routing – Clean route structure split between HTML and JSON endpoints
✅ DB Choice at Setup – Use SQLite, MySQL, or Postgres with built-in .env generation
✅ Flask-Migrate Ready – Migrations are set up and ready to run on first build
✅ Authentication Scaffolding – Generate full auth (login/register/logout/dashboard) with one command

⚙️ CLI Commands

Command	Description
flaskion make:new <name>	Create a new project scaffold
flaskion make:model	Create a SQLAlchemy model
flaskion make:schema	Create a Marshmallow schema
flaskion make:controller	Create a controller with CRUD methods
flaskion make:resource	Generate model + controller + schema + routes
flaskion make:auth	Generate full login/register/logout system

Add --api to make:resource for API route generation instead of web views.

---

🛣️ Managing Routes

Flaskion separates routes for HTML views and API endpoints:

• Web Routes: app/routes/web_routes.py
• API Routes: app/routes/api_routes.py

Both are registered in app/__init__.py:

from app.routes.api_routes import api_routes
from app.routes.web_routes import web_routes

def register_routes(app):
    app.register_blueprint(api_routes)
    app.register_blueprint(web_routes)

---

🧬 Database Migrations

Flaskion uses Flask-Migrate out of the box:

flask db init
flask db migrate -m "Initial"
flask db upgrade

---

🔐 Authentication

Generate full login/register/logout and dashboard flow:

flaskion make:auth

• HTML templates auto-created under templates/auth/
• Session-based login using Flask sessions
• Routes for /login, /register, /dashboard, and /logout
