# Flask-Backbone
#### _Your Next Flask Boilerplate_
## UPD: March 15, 2023
- Removed alembic from the codebase. You can install by yourself.
- Removed SQLAlchemy extensions to avoid unnecessary complexity in the blueprint.
- Added .env support for the application config with from_prefixed_env. Check app.py for the details.
- Access FLASK_MY_CONFIG_PROP as app.config.get("MY_CONFIG_PROP").
- Priorities: .env > config/{env}.py > instance/config.py. Instance folder config is top priority.
- SQLAlchemy 2 support
- Added [Python Typing](https://docs.python.org/3/library/typing.html)
- Moved to Python 3.11
## Features
- Predefined basic structure, so you'll end up with a clean architecture.
- Database support via **SQLAlchemy**. However, you can skip database setup and use Flask-Backbone without the database. I also do not use Flask-SQLAlchemy, but you can.
- Development/Production/You own configs with **instance_relative_config**.
- Cache support via **flask_caching**. Setup easily with configuration.
- **Flask-Debug**
- **Sentry** support. Just add your DSN, and you're good to go.
- **Jinja** filters and custom variables.
- Designed to be **blueprint-first**. Keep your structure clean and steady with blueprints. Everything is a blueprint. Your future self will thank you.
- Interactive commands to create your next blueprint. Define your blueprint skeletons to speed up your development. To create your next blueprint simply run flask app create-blueprint. It's up to you and you can completely ignore or remove this part and everything will work perfectly fine.
- Initial setup with a configuration script.
- WSGI config
## Getting Started
**Note: Tested with Python 3.11**
**1 — Clone flask-backbone.**
`git clone https://github.com/abstractkitchen/flask-backbone.git .`
**2** — As a rule of thumb, make sure that you use a virtual environment. For example python3 -m venv pythonenv. This will create an environment in the folder pythonenv. I prefer to name my python environment as a pythonenv, because it's more descriptive.
`python3 -m venv pythonenv`
`. pythonenv/bin/activate`
`pip install -r requirements.txt`
**3** — Launch configure.py. It will ask you some question about your future setup.
`python configure.py`
This utility will create: .env and instance/config.py.
## Usage
Please read this article. You'll learn more details about the boilerplate and Flask.
