flaskion-cli 1.0.6

A CLI tool to create Flaskion projects

Flaskion

Flaskion is a lightweight MVC boilerplate for Flask, providing developers with a structured foundation for Flask applications. Inspired by Laravel, Flaskion brings modular architecture, scalability, and a clean codebase to Flask projects.

---

Features

✅ MVC Architecture – Clear separation of concerns with controllers, models, and templates.
✅ Centralized Routing – Web and API routes are separated for better organization.
✅ Built-in CLI – Generate new Flaskion projects instantly with flaskion new {projectname}.
✅ Scalability – Pre-configured to integrate with Flask extensions like SQLAlchemy, Flask-Migrate, and more.
✅ Reusability – Easily adaptable for any Flask project.

Getting Started

Installation

1. Install Flaskion CLI** (if not installed):

   pip install flaskion-cli
   

2. Create a new Flaskion project:

flaskion new myproject

3. Navigate into your new project:

   cd myproject
   

4. Create a virtual environment:

   python -m venv venv
   source venv/bin/activate   # On Windows: venv\Scripts\activate
   

5. Install dependencies:

   pip install -r requirements.txt
   

Managing Routes

Flaskion organizes routes into a dedicated routes/ folder, separating Web Routes and API Routes. • Web Routes (routes/web_routes.py) Defines routes for pages that return HTML views. • API Routes (routes/api_routes.py) Handles JSON-based API requests.

Both are registered inside app/init.py:

from flask import Flask
from app.routes.api_routes import api_routes
from app.routes.web_routes import web_routes

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

Running the App

1. Start the Flask development server:

   flask run --debug
   

2. Visit the app in your browser: http://127.0.0.1:5000
