This is a simple scaffold template to help you get started with Flask applications quickly.
Note: This template is not recommended for beginners, as it assumes prior knowledge of Flask.
To use this template in your project, follow these steps:
-
Click the "Use This Template" button and create a new repository on GitHub.
-
On the new repository page, provide a name for your project and create it.
-
Copy the URL of your newly created GitHub repository and open your project folder in Visual Studio Code (assuming you've already created one).
-
Clone the repository locally using the following command:
git clone <repository_url>
-
After cloning the repo, create a virtual environment. The process may differ between Windows and macOS:
-
Windows:
python -m venv venv
-
macOS:
python3 -m venv venv
-
-
Activate the virtual environment. On Windows, use:
venv\Scripts\activate
On macOS, you can activate the virtual environment using a command similar to the Windows one. The command should be something like:
source venv/bin/activate -
With your virtual environment activated, install the project dependencies from
requirements.txt:pip install -r requirements.txt
-
Ensure that your active interpreter in Visual Studio Code is set to ('venv':venv). You can check and change it by opening a .py file and locating the interpreter option in the bottom-right corner of Visual Studio Code.
-
Now that everything should be set up correctly, run your Flask application with the following command:
flask run --debug
If you want to specify a different port, you can use the
-poption, like this:flask run --debug -p 8080
-
Thanks for using this template! Happy FlaskStrapping!
