A modern Python development toolkit.

jbussdieker-app

A modern Python development toolkit plugin for creating and managing Flask web applications. This plugin integrates with the jbussdieker CLI framework to provide a streamlined development experience for Flask applications.

🚀 Features

• Flask Application Generator: Quickly create and run Flask applications
• Bootstrap Integration: Built-in Bootstrap 5 support for modern UI components
• Health Check Endpoint: Automatic /healthz endpoint for monitoring
• Development Server: Easy-to-use development server with configurable host
• CLI Integration: Seamless integration with the jbussdieker CLI framework
• Modern Python: Built with Python 3.9+ and modern Flask practices

📦 Installation

pip install jbussdieker-app --upgrade

🔧 Prerequisites

• Python 3.9 or higher
• jbussdieker CLI framework
• Flask and related dependencies (automatically installed)

🎯 Usage

Basic Usage

Create and run a Flask application:

jbussdieker app

This will start a Flask development server on http://0.0.0.0:9000.

Custom Host Configuration

Specify a custom host for the development server:

jbussdieker app --host 127.0.0.1

Available Endpoints

• Root (/): Displays application version information
• Health Check (/healthz): Returns "OK" for health monitoring

🏗️ Project Structure

The plugin creates a Flask application with the following structure:

src/jbussdieker/app/
├── __init__.py      # Package initialization
├── cli.py           # CLI interface and argument parsing
├── factory.py       # Flask application factory
└── blueprint.py     # Route definitions and views

🔍 How It Works

1. CLI Registration: Registers the app command with jbussdieker CLI
2. Application Factory: Uses Flask's application factory pattern for clean architecture
3. Bootstrap Integration: Automatically configures Bootstrap 5 for modern styling
4. Blueprint Registration: Organizes routes using Flask blueprints
5. Development Server: Runs the Flask development server with configurable options

🛠️ Development

This plugin is part of the jbussdieker ecosystem. It integrates seamlessly with the jbussdieker CLI framework.

Dependencies

• Flask: Web framework
• Bootstrap-Flask: Bootstrap 5 integration
• Flask-SQLAlchemy: Database ORM (available for future use)

Extending the Application

You can extend the Flask application by:

1. Adding new routes to blueprint.py
2. Creating additional blueprints for modular organization
3. Configuring database models with Flask-SQLAlchemy
4. Adding custom middleware or extensions
