You can use the mvc pattern in your flask application using this extension.
Installation
Run the follow command to install mvc_flask:
$ pip install mvc_flask
Configuration
To configure the mvc_flask you need import and register in your application:
from mvc_flask import FlaskMVC
mvc = FlaskMVC()
Or use factory function
mvc = FlaskMVC()
def create_app():
...
mvc.init_app(app)
By default the mvc_flask assumes that your application directory will be app, but, you can change it. Passing the object of configuration:
app.config["FLASK_MVC_DIR"] = "sample_app"
Create MVC Pattern
mvc_flask assumes that your application will have these characteristics:
app
├── __ini__.py
├── controllers
│ └── home_controller.py
├── models
├── routes.json
└── views
├── index.html
The routes.json file should be like this:
[
{
"method": "GET",
"path": "/",
"controller": "home",
"action": "index"
},
]
The home_controller.py file should be like this:
from flask.templating import render_template
class HomeController:
def index(self):
return render_template("index.html")
Tests
You can run the tests, executing the follow command:
$ make test
