Crafter

A CLI tool for rapidly building applications with FlaskMVC Starter Kit

Getting Started

1. Create a project using FlaskMVC Starter Kit and install the dependencies (this installs Crafter as well)

Usage

• the format of running commands with crafter is as follows:

crafter <command> <args>

Commands

model

Create a model with a name of post

crafter model --name post

• generates post.py in app/models

controller

Create a controller with a name of post

crafter controller --name post

• generates post_controller.py in app/controllers
• generates a model if no model with given name is found

route

Create a route with a name of post

crafter route --name post

• generates post_route.py in app/routes
• generates a controller if no controller with given name is found
• generates a model if no model with given name is found

relationship

Create a relationship between two models

• type: [one_one, one_many, many_one, many_many]
• models: model_1, model_2

crafter relationship --type one_one --models student contact

• generates either models if no model with given names are found
• creates a one-to-one relationship between student and contact

crafter relationship --type one_many --models knight sword

• creates a one-to-many relationship between knight and sword (one knight has many swords)
• if we swap the positions (--models sword knight) the relationship would be one sword has many knights, which may or may not be intended

many_one works the same way as one_many, just take note of the positions of the arguments

To create a many-to-many relationship, an additional argument is needed, the association

crafter relationship --type many_many --models wizard spell
Enter the association table between wizard and spell: spellbook

• A bridging table named spellbook is created
• if no input is given, default table name is {model_1}_{model_2} (in this case, wizard_spell)
