It's finally here, hopefully it's of use to the community.</p> <p><a href="https://www.scoriet.com">Link to scoriet.com</a></p> <p>What you get is an open-source <a href="https://github.com/Harveyhase68/scoriet">Github Project</a> for reading a mysql or postgresql database and generate a whole app based on a template. It is a Windows 32-bit or 64-bit program, running Windows 7+.</p> <p>Initially developed for my own purposes, only to generate PHP snippets or small classes.</p> <p>But time comes and I decided to expand the tool, later even make it open-source.</p> <p>Last week, I talked a lot on discord, but there was no interest in a python rest API generated by a windows open-source program...</p> <p>So here I am, presenting at dev.to, maybe here are some developers who desperatly need such a tool??</p> <p><a href="https://res.cloudinary.com/practicaldev/image/fetch/s--ZdK7GhxR--/c_limit%2Cf_auto%2Cfl_progressive%2Cq_auto%2Cw_800/https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/articles/yz7kvx7biltol1xvgfvx.png" class="article-body-image-wrapper"><img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/practicaldev/image/fetch/s--ZdK7GhxR--/c_limit%2Cf_auto%2Cfl_progressive%2Cq_auto%2Cw_800/https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/articles/yz7kvx7biltol1xvgfvx.png" alt="Image description" width="800" height="585"></a></p> <p>So, it connects to a mysql or a postgresql database, import the structure with constraints and keys, then it can generate a complete app with a mouse click, based on a template. You can stack some compatible templates, make changes to stock templates and more. You can export / import new/change, share templates with other users and more.</p> <p>You can import a database (this is version 1), you make changes to the database, import again (this is version 2), every version is stored, so you can, for example, make a model (for laravel as example), to make changes to the latest database model?!</p> <p>Actual, I made a simple web-site, a PHP REST API and now a Python Flask REST API.</p> <p>When I have more time, maybe I can even finish the database designer (for new or editing existing databases), this is my next project for Scoriet...</p> <p>I have a small developer blog (<a href="https://www.predl.cc/entwicklerblog">www.predl.cc</a>) but actual in German, later it will be extended to English!</p> <p>Comments, wishes and criticism are welcome, hope this project can be a help for you. </p> <p>PS: not every change on the template I have to do, you can do it on yourself?! Look at the document folder scoriet/templates/python_rest you find there the template files, open with any editor (notepad++ is ok), but not with Microsoft Studio Code, because, the template keys are with curly brackets for example {filename} and Microsoft Studio Code don't like them! But if you do changes and want to share with the project, please send me the files or complete templates to office[add]scoriet.com, I'll check them and include them in the setup.</p> python flask windev windows
