It provides a standardized, modular, and scalable template to help you kickstart your Kivy projects efficiently.\n\n## 🚀 Features\n\n- **Standardized Project Structure** – Ensures consistency across Kivy projects.\n- **Pre-configured Files** – Includes essential configuration and setup files for a smooth development experience.\n- **MVC-Like Architecture** – Encourages better code organization and separation of concerns.\n- **Customizable Project Setup** – Supports additional configurations for flexibility.\n\n## 🛠 Installation\n\nClone the repository and install KivyStart:\n```\ngit clone https://github.com/digreatbrian/kivystart\npip install ./kivystart \n```\n\n## 📦 Creating a New Kivy Project\n\nTo generate a new Kivy project using KivyStart, run:\n```\npython -m kivystart makeproject demo DemoApp \n\n# or\n\nkivystart makeproject demo DemoApp\n```\n\n### 💡 Want to explore more options?\nRun the following command to see available flags and configurations:\n\n```\npython -m kivystart makeproject --help \n\n# or\n\nkivystart makeproject --help\n```\n\n## 📂 Project Structure\n\nKivyStart generates a well-organized directory structure:\n```\nproject_root/ \n├── .git/ # (Optional) Git repository metadata \n├── assets/ # Stores images, fonts, and icons \n├── components/ # Reusable UI components \n│ ├── main_container.py \n│ ├── toolbar.py \n├── controllers/ # Handles business logic \u0026 interactions \n├── kv_files/ # Kivy (.kv) files for UI design \n│ ├── main_container.kv \n│ ├── main_toolbar.kv \n│ ├── root_container.kv \n├── models/ # Data models (manual implementation) \n├── utils/ # Utility/helper functions \n├── venv/ # (Optional) Virtual environment \n├── buildozer.spec # (Optional) Configuration for Android packaging \n├── main.py # Entry point of the Kivy application \n├── README.md # Project documentation \n├── requirements.txt # Dependencies list \n├── theme.py # Defines global styles and themes \n```\n\n## 🔍 Folder \u0026 File Breakdown\n\n### 📁 .git/ (Optional)\n\nStores version control metadata when using Git.\n\n### 📁 assets/\n\nHolds static resources like images, fonts, and icons.\n\n### 📁 components/\n\nContains reusable UI elements. Examples:\n\n**main_container.py** – Main UI container.\n\n**toolbar.py** – Application toolbar with buttons/navigation.\n\n### 📁 controllers/\n\nManages business logic and communication between UI and models. (Manual implementation required.)\n\n### 📁 kv_files/\n\nStores .kv files to define UI separately from Python logic. Examples:\n\n**main_container.kv** – Layout for the main container.\n\n**main_toolbar.kv** – Toolbar layout.\n\n**root_container.kv** – Loads/manages other UI components.\n\n### 📁 models/\n\nStores data models for databases, APIs, or other structured data. (Manual implementation required.)\n\n### 📁 utils/\n\nIncludes helper functions for logging, error handling, etc.\n\n### 📁 venv/ (Optional)\n\nA virtual environment for managing dependencies.\n\n### 📄 buildozer.spec (Optional)\n\nConfiguration file for Buildozer, used to package the Kivy app into an APK (Android) or other formats.\n\n### 📄 main.py\n\nThe entry point of the Kivy application.\n\n### 📄 README.md\n\nProject documentation, including setup, features, and usage.\n\n### 📄 requirements.txt\n\nLists dependencies. Install them with:\n```\npip install -r requirements.txt \n```\n\n### 📄 theme.py\n\nDefines global styles, colors, and fonts for the application.\n\n## 🤝 Contributions Are Welcome!\n\nWe appreciate contributions to improve KivyStart! Feel free to submit issues, feature requests, or pull requests.\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fdigreatbrian%2Fkivystart","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fdigreatbrian%2Fkivystart","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fdigreatbrian%2Fkivystart/lists"}
