Requirements

Installation

The Muffin should be installed using pip:

pip install muffin

Usage

See sources of example application.

Run example server:

$ make run

Configuration

Muffin gets configuration options from python files. By default the package tries to load a configuration from config module (config.py).

There are few ways to redifine configuration module:

• Set configuration module in your app initialization:

  app = muffin.Application('myapp', CONFIG='config.debug')

• Set environment variable MUFFIN_CONFIG:

  $ MUFFIN_CONFIG=settings_local python -m example.app runserver

Also you can define any options while initializing your application:

app = muffin.Application('myapp', DEBUG=True, ANY_OPTION='Here', ONE_MORE='Yes')

When using gmuffin (see bellow):

$ gmuffin -c example.config.debug example.app:app

Base application options

Base Muffin options and default values:

# Configuration module
'CONFIG': 'config',

# Enable debug mode
'DEBUG': False,

# List of enabled plugins
'PLUGINS': (
    'muffin.plugins.manage:ManagePlugin',
    'muffin.plugins.jade:JadePlugin',
    'muffin.plugins.peewee:PeeweePlugin',
    'muffin.plugins.session:SessionPlugin',
),

# Setup static files in development
'STATIC_PREFIX': '/static',
'STATIC_ROOT': 'static',

CLI integration

Add the next lines to end of your application file:

if __name__ == '__main__':
    app.plugins.manage()

Run in your shell:

$ python -m path.to.your.app.module --help

Write a custom command

@app.plugins.manage.command
def hello_world(option=None, boolean_options=False):
    print('Hello world!')

Templates (Jade)

Use jade.render in your handlers:

@app.view('/')
def hello(request):
    return (yield from app.plugins.jade.render(
        'index.jade', user=request.session.get('user', 'anonimous')))

The syntax is:

jade.render(TEMPLATE_NAME, **CUSTOM_CONTEXT)

Add default context provider:

@jade.ctx_provider
def my_context():
    """ Could be a coroutine. """
    return { ... }

Sessions

SQL (Peewee)

Migrations

• Create migrations:

  $ python -m path.to.your.app create [NAME]

• Run migrations:

  $ python -m path.to.your.app migrate [NAME]

Testing

Set module path to your Muffin Application in pytest configuration file or use command line option --muffin-app.

Example:

$ py.test -xs --muffin-app example.app:app

Deployment

Use gmuffin command. By example:

$ gmuffin --reload -w 4 example.app:app

See gmuffin --help for more info.
