quick-flask 1.0.1

CLI tool to quickly generate Flask apps

QuickFlask

QuickFlask is a CLI tool designed to help you create modular, functional Flask applications in seconds. I love Flask, but I often found myself writing the same boilerplate code repeatedly. To save time, I created QuickFlask. This tool will save you time and effort, allowing you to focus on building your application rather than setting up the initial structure. It adheres to the DRY (Don’t Repeat Yourself) principle.

Installation

To install QuickFlask, run:

pip3 install quick-flask

Usage

Once installed, you can create a new Flask project by running:

quickflask

Options:

• --name (Required): The name of your Flask application.
• --socketio (Optional): Include Flask-SocketIO support for real-time communication.

Example with SocketIO:

quickflask --name my-chat-app --socketio

Running Your Flask App

After creating your project, navigate into the directory:

cd my_flask_app

Set up a virtual environment (recommended):

python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate  # On Windows: .\venv\Scripts\activate

Install dependencies:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Run the Flask app:

python app.py

Your application will be accessible at http://127.0.0.1:5000/.

Features

• Generates a structured Flask project with blueprints and templates.
• Automatically sets up templates and API routes.
• Saves time by eliminating repetitive boilerplate code.
