pop-create 1

Create new pop projects

pop-create was originally an internal function of the pop project named pop-seed.

pop-create will initialize a new pop project.

Geting Started

pip3 install pop-create

Now that you have pop-create installed you can run:

pop-create seed --help
pop-create seed -n poppy

This initial release should have identical functionality as pop-seed as currently provided by the pop project.

Dynamic Name Spaces

You can specify dynamic namespaces that your app will extend with “-d”. In this example we extend the dynamic name spaces of “states”, “exec”, “acct”, and “tool”; All common extensions of the idem project.

pop-create seed -n poppy -d exec states acct tool

Vertically App Merged Project

If your entrypoint will exist in another project, then you are making a vertically app merged project. For example, if you are extending idem to write exec modules or states modules, your project won’t have an entrypoint. The code of your project will be dynamically extended on top of the namespace of those other tools.

Create a vertically app merged project by adding the –vertical flag to pop-create seed

pop-create seed --vertical -n poppy

Tests

Now create the boilerplate code for your project’s tests. This will set your project up with some useful fixtures for testing pop projects and some basic unit/integration tests.

pop-create tests -n poppy

Docs

Now create the boilerplate code for your project’s docs. This will set your project up with a rudimentary docs directory that can be easily added to and built.

pop-create docs -n poppy
