Cookiecutter is a command-line utility that creates projects from cookiecutters (project templates), e.g. creating a Python package project from a Python package project template. In this page we are going to show how to create new falcon projects.

Install cookiecutter It's simple, you only need to install python package:

pip install cookiecutter

Now you can create new projects using your favourite template.

Create a falcon skeleton project To do it you need to clone the git repository:

git clone https://github.com/7ideas/cookiecutter-falcon.git

To create the skel you need to indicate to cookiecutter where the template is:

cd cookiecutter-falcon
cookiecutter .

The tool is interactive and it will request for some information as:

• project_name
• project_slug
• author_name
• author_mail
• project_description [A short description of the project.]
• project_url [example.com]
• use_docker
• use_mongodb
• use_redisdb
• Select open_source_license or not open source

When finished, a folder in the current directory with the name of selected "project_name" step given is created. You only need to move it where you want it lives:

cd my_project
tree .
