I’m not sure if there is something already! This tutorial should show you the value of Makefiles to make steps easier. The following Makefile can be used for creating new Flask projects.
CURRENT_DIR := $(shell pwd) ifndef NAME NAME = Flaskproject endif VIRTUALENV_DIR = ${NAME}/.env INTERPRETER = $(CURRENT_DIR)/$(VIRTUALENV_DIR)/bin/ PATH := ${PATH}:$(INTERPRETER) help: @echo "Usage: $ make <target> [NAME=Flaskproject]" @echo " > create : create flask project ${NAME}" @echo " > destroy : destroy flask project ${NAME}" @echo " > deps : install dependentcies via pip" create: @echo "[RUN]: create flask project" @mkdir -p $(CURRENT_DIR)/${NAME}/app/{templates,static/{images,css,js,public},controllers} echo "Flask==0.11.1\nFlask-SQLAlchemy==2.1\nFlask-Script==2.0.5\nFlask-Assets==0.12\nFlask-Cache==0.13.1\nFlask-DebugToolbar==0.10.0\ncssmin==0.2.0\njsmin==2.2.1" \ > $(CURRENT_DIR)/${NAME}/requirements.txt make env destroy: @echo "[RUN]: destroy flask project" @rm -fr $(CURRENT_DIR)/${NAME} env: @echo "[RUN]: create/activate virtualenv" @virtualenv $(VIRTUALENV_DIR) && \ . $(VIRTUALENV_DIR)/bin/activate && \ make deps deps: @echo "[RUN]: install dependentcies" $(VIRTUALENV_DIR)/bin/pip install -r $(CURRENT_DIR)/${NAME}/requirements.txt
Usage
# create new project $ make create # create new project with own name $ make create NAME=MyFlaskProject # install python packages via pip (after adding to requirements.txt) $ make deps # delete specific project $ make destroy NAME=MyFlaskProject
