This python script generates a folder structure along all default files for an API framework in the current directory, optionally creating a new one.
Currently supported frameworks:
- Flask
- FastAPI
Work in progress:
- Django
Short backstory
When getting started on building an API, I found myself looking up an older project, copying the folder structure along the files and their contents. Then, remembering what environment variables I should include in the .env and their defaults for a local project. All in all, it was repetitive and annoying. Then let's be honest, why spend 5 minutes doing a repetitive task every now and then if you can spend 3 hours trying to automate it. Anyway, I hope you find this tool useful, and if you did, leave a star just so I know you found this tool useful.
Installation
Installation is done using pip using the following command:
pip install pyapibp
Usage
In the desired folder, run the following command:
$ pyapibp
That's about it, follow the instructions, choose your options and tada, you are ready to code!
I will write a more detailed description of the options after adding more frameworks, flags etc... etc..., but for now, enjoy.
