Inspiration Board: Back-end Layer

This scaffold includes the following:

app/__init__.py

This file configures the app. We expect developers to modify this file by:

• Importing all models
• Importing db and migrate from a separate file that manages creating the SQLAlchemy and Migrate instances
• Initializing the app with the SQLAlchemy and Migrate instances
• Importing and registering all blueprints

Prior projects like Solar System, Flasky, and hello-books-api are great resources to reference for project structure and set up needs.

Note that create_app also uses CORS. There is no extra action needed to be done with CORS.

tests

This folder only contains an empty __init__.py file. Developers are expected to:

• create a conftest.py file to set up their app and any necessary test data for testing
• create test files for any model or route tests

requirements.txt

This file lists the dependencies we anticipate are needed for the project.

.gitignore

This is a hidden file which lists specific files and file extension types that should be ignored by the git repo when looking for changed files to stage.
