WebApp boilerplate with React JS and Flask API

Styles

You can update the styles/index.scss or create new .scss files inside styles/ and import them into your current scss or js files depending on your needs.

Components

Add more files into your ./src/js/components or styles folder as you need them and import them into your current files as needed.

💡Note: There is an example using the Context API inside views/demo.js;

Views (Components)

Add more files into your ./src/js/views and import them in ./src/js/layout.jsx.

Context

This boilerplate comes with a centralized general Context API. The file ./src/js/store/flux.js has a base structure for the store, we encourage you to change it and adapt it to your needs.

React Context docs BreathCode Lesson view

The Provider is already set. You can consume from any component using the useContext hook to get the store and actions from the Context. Check /views/demo.js to see a demo.

import { Context } from "../store/appContext";
const MyComponentSuper = () => {
    //here you use useContext to get store and actions
    const { store, actions } = useContext(Context);
    return <div>{/* you can use your actions or store inside the html */}</div>;
};

Back-End Manual Installation:

It is recomended to install the backend first, make sure you have Python 3.8, Pipenv and a database engine (Posgress recomended)

1. Install the python packages: $ pipenv install
2. Create a .env file based on the .env.example: $ cp .env.example .env
3. Install your database engine and create your database, depending on your database you have to create a DATABASE_URL variable with one of the possible values, make sure yo replace the valudes with your database information:

4. Migrate the migrations: $ pipenv run migrate (skip if you have not made changes to the models on the ./src/api/models.py)
5. Run the migrations: $ pipenv run upgrade
6. Run the application: $ pipenv run start

Backend Populate Table Users

To insert test users in the database execute the following command:

$ flask insert-test-users 5

And you will see the following message:

  Creating test users
  test_user1@test.com created.
  test_user2@test.com created.
  test_user3@test.com created.
  test_user4@test.com created.
  test_user5@test.com created.
  Users created successfully!

To update with all yours tables you can edit the file app.py and go to the line 80 to insert the code to populate others tables
