- The requirements are located in `requirements.txt` and you can locally run `make requirements`.

  It will install the dev requirements as well.

- Uses cookiecutter to generate the template project

- [Flask-Testing](https://pythonhosted.org/Flask-Testing/) is used for the tests with [nose](https://nose.readthedocs.io/en/latest/)

## Overview



This is a simple boierplate that helps spinning up flask microservices for your own use cases.

This aims to help you not spending a lot of hours making initial configurations for flask microservices.



## Requirements



- Python 3.8 or above

- (Optional) Virtualenv (or pyenv, venv...)

- Cookiecutter (to install the template)



## Optional Requirements



- Docker (optional and latest) and docker-compose (also optional and latest) if you want to start

  a redis and postgres container and to `make run docker` working properly.



## Dependencies



- [Flask](https://flask.palletsprojects.com/en/1.1.x/quickstart/)

- [Flask-Marshmallow](https://flask-marshmallow.readthedocs.io/en/latest/)

- [flask-seasurf](https://flask-seasurf.readthedocs.io/en/latest/)



Also contains additional packages in case of using redis and postges by using



- [Flask-SQLAlchemy](https://flask-sqlalchemy.palletsprojects.com/en/2.x/)

- [Marshmallow-SQLalchemy](https://marshmallow-sqlalchemy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/)

- [SQLAlchemy](https://www.sqlalchemy.org/)

- [Redis](https://redislabs.com/lp/python-redis/)



## How to install



1.  [Install cookiecutter](https://cookiecutter.readthedocs.io/en/1.7.2/installation.html)

2.  Run `cookiecutter https://github.com/tarsil/cookiecutter-flask` and follow the instructions

3.  `make requirements` - Installs all the requirements needed.



## Development



- The template offers a possibility to integrate with redis and postgres both locally and remotely,

  where remotely is up to the developer. 1. Locally run `docker-compose up` and the service should trigger normally 2. Remotely, replace settings (`config/settings.py`) with the settings you need



- If you wish to have other databases, just replace the variables by the ones necessary



## Run locally



- make run-local` or if you wish to run with a different set of settings:



  1. `make run-special FLASK_SETTINGS_FILENAME=_location_of_file/file.py`



- You should be able to access `http://127.0.0.1:5001/` and test the endpoint.



## Configurations



The project comes with pre-set of configurations located at `src/config/`.



1.  `settings.py` is the main default settings config.



Inside the config module contains the `development` and `testing` modules but those can

be overwritten, removed or moved to a different location and easily called by the

`FLASK_SETTINGS_FILENAME` environment variable.



## Run tests



- `make run-tests` - Runs all the standard tests

- `make run-nose` - Runs all the tests inside the tests module and app
