Flaskteroids

Flaskteroids: A complete, batteries-included Python MVC framework inspired by Ruby on Rails.

---

Flaskteroids (or Flask on Steroids) is a lightweight yet powerful Python MVC framework that supercharges Flask with a clean, elegant structure. Inspired by the best of Ruby on Rails, it brings clarity and productivity to your web development workflow.

Built on the philosophy of convention over configuration, Flaskteroids helps you move fast, write less code, and stay focused on what matters: building scalable, maintainable applications with confidence.

With a batteries-included approach and carefully chosen core dependencies, Flaskteroids stays lean, fast, and secure — giving you everything you need, and nothing you don’t.

Features

• Elegant Routing: Intuitive and resourceful routing.
• Built-in ORM: Seamless integration with SQLAlchemy and Alembic for database management and migrations.
• Background Jobs: Integrated with Celery for easy background job processing.
• RESTful by Design: Quickly build API routes with JSON responses.
• Powerful CLI: A rich set of commands for generating models, controllers, mailers, scaffolds, and more.
• Flask Compatibility: Retains the full power of Flask and its rich ecosystem.

Getting Started

1. Creating a New App

flask run

Now, open your browser and navigate to http://127.0.0.1:5000. You should see the Flaskteroids welcome page!

Your First Feature: A Blog

Let's create a simple blog to see the power of scaffolding. Inside your my_app follow the next steps:

1. Generate a Post scaffold: This command will create the model, controller, views, and database migration for a Post resource with title and content fields.

   flask generate scaffold Post title:string content:text
   

2. Run the database migration: Apply the changes to your database schema.

   flask db:migrate
   

3. Start the server:

   flask run
   

Now, visit http://1227.0.0.1:5000/posts in your browser. You have a complete set of pages to create, view, update, and delete posts.
