This app makes it easier for your to build a react flask application.
Flask does not directly work with React in development as it needs cors to handle the cross-origin error on your local react app. So, this boiler plate reduces the time spent creating a simple react and flask app.
You can install the Make Flask React App Command Line Tool from PyPI:
pip install makeflaskreact
Requirements are yarn or npm and python>=3.6.0
To run:
makeflaskreact
optionally:
add --name PROJECT_NAME to change the project name from app to what you want.
add --norun or N to run the server and client on exceution of the script
| Input | Defaults |
|---|---|
| name (--name/-A) | app |
| run (--run/-r) (--no-run/-N) | True -- will run if --no-run is not present |
| server name | server |
| python (used to create virtual env and download requirments) | python |
| host | 127.0.0.1 |
| port | 5000 |
| react client | no default will ask for either yarn (0.25+) or npm (5.2+) |
| client | client |
Assuming standard run makeflaskreact
Will create a folder with your app, client, and server.
