Project folder structure and packages installation

#python #webdev #webpack #flask

Create a new folder whatever you want to name it I'm going with flask_blog.

Now create a virtual environment using virtualenv. and activate the virtual enviroment.

It's time to install the dependencies of the project. Now firstly install the flask and the other dependencies.

pip install flask flask-sqlalchemy flask-migrate python-dotenv mysql-connector-python flask-wtf

Open the folder in your favourite code editor I'll be use VSCode.

So the folder structure will be like this.

flask_blog
 |
 +-- application
 | +-- assets
 | +-- controllers
 | +-- forms
 | +-- models
 | +-- views
 | +-- __init__.py
 | +-- settings.py
 +-- venv
 +-- migrations
 +-- config.py
 +-- run.py

Now your directory structure will look like this.

You can get the updated code on GitHub Repo

On the next post we will configure our application.

Our AI agent was running 10-20 seconds slower than it should, impacting both our own developers and our early adopters. See how I used Sentry Profiling to fix it in record time.
