🔧 Customization

Adding Custom Templates

You can extend Projex by adding your own templates:

1. Create a new template configuration in config.py
2. Add template generation logic in generator.py
3. Update the CLI to include your template

Modifying Existing Templates

Edit the template generation methods in generator.py:

• _generate_fastapi()
• _generate_django()
• _generate_flask()

📝 Environment Variables

All generated projects use .env files for configuration. Copy .env.example to .env and update with your values:

cp .env.example .env

Common variables:

• DATABASE_URL - Database connection string
• SECRET_KEY - Application secret key
• DEBUG - Debug mode (True/False)
• ENVIRONMENT - Environment name (development/production)
