flask-pipenv-heroku-template

Minimal template for a heroku-ready Python 3 pipenv-enabled Flask app.

The purpose is to quickly start simple Flask apps ready for heroku, without the repetive copy-pasting through the Flask Getting Started or the bloat of the Heroku's https://github.com/heroku/python-getting-started tutorial.

Using

Just clone into a new directory that you choose the name. Remove this .git stuff associated with this repo, start a new .git, create heroku app, and push.

$ git clone https://github.com/bcollazo/flask-pipenv-heroku-template myappname
$ cd myappname
$ rm -rf .git
$ git init .
$ heroku create myappnameinheroku
$ git push heroku master

Now you can develop quickly by using:

FLASK_ENV=development FLASK_APP=app.py flask run

Edit your index.html, index.css, index.js appropriately, commit, and push! :)

More info

This template was created by (and the repetitive tasks you skip are):

1. pipenv install --three
2. pipenv install Flask
3. Copy pasting hello.py from Flask's Getting Started
4. Adding Procfile with Gunicorn setup
5. Following Flask's Getting Started to add a index.html template connected to a index.css and index.js CSS and JS files.
