Hi I cloned your code and while trying to use the example app I am getting this error

raise TemplateNotFound(template)

jinja2.exceptions.TemplateNotFound: index.html

I tried creating a templates folder under the example directory and copied contents from the view folder to it. still the same error

Appreciate your help

This is cool mvc implementation, especially for me.

When i deep to Flask, i found the mvc-flask. It so like for me, because i'd RoR programmer. So, i have to implement my folder structure identical to rails application. But i found two incompatibilities with Ruby on Rails.

1. I can't set folder for templates, when initialize Flask:

app = Flask(self.__name, template_folder = './app/views')
...
FlaskMVC(app, path = 'app')

After that, Flask searches templates in ./views folder, but not in ./app/views as i want. So, i try to propose pull-request to fix this behaviour. With best regards to maintainers. FlaskMVC making python better (for me, for example).

Hi, I have recently started working with mvc-flask, however, I unfortunately cannot seem to get view() to work. (view is undefined)

app/routes.py

from mvc_flask import Router

Router.get("/", "landing#route")

app/controllers/landing_controller.py

from flask import session

class LandingController:
    def route(self):
        return view("index.html")

app.py

from flask import Flask
from mvc_flask import FlaskMVC

app = Flask(__name__)
FlaskMVC(app)

What do you think about changing the definition of routes from json to yaml?

Something like:

routes:
  home:
    index
  
  books:
    new:
      path: /
    create:
      path: /create
      method: post
  
  posts:
    models: true
    only:
      - show
      - new
      - create
  
  users:
    index:
      hooks:
        before_request: "required"

if the user define model: true the mvc-flask automatically will be create the follows routes:

- index (/)
- show (/show/:id)
- new (/new)
- create (/create)
- edit (/edit/:id)
- update (/)
- delete (/delete/:id)

But, you can use the only parameter to regular this.

Currently, we use pip install requirements.txt inside GitHub action to install all dependencies on the project. We should support poetry directly instead of export the requirements files.

Problem

The HTML default not work with put and delete. Then... We need sent the form data to receive in update route. Recently not sent, because need javascript called.

Solution

Create javascript helper that will be called every time that the request form has been sent

Comments

We need follow the solutions of greats frameworks, as: Laravel, Rails and etc.

Recently we have not group defined to routes, the routes can work as prefix-url of many routes. I haven't thought of a definitive model, but, it can be:

g = Router.namespace("/tasks") 

# or

g = Router.group("/tasks")

g.get("/", "tasks#index")  # you can access: https://.../tasks/

currently we have import render_template function to use templates and request to accomplish operation based in visitord request.

Would cool if these objects was available. e.g:

class HomeController:
    def index(self, view, request):
        return view("index.html")

You can use Router.all() to register all routes of CRUD.

Router.all("users")

The previous command produce this:

users.create     POST     /users
users.delete     DELETE   /users/<id>
users.edit       GET      /users/<id>/edit
users.index      GET      /users
users.new        GET      /users/new
users.show       GET      /users/<id>
users.update     PUT      /users/<id>

You can also use only parameter to control routes, e.g:

Router.all("messages", only="index show new create")

The previous command produce this:

messages.create  POST     /messages
messages.index   GET      /messages
messages.new     GET      /messages/new
messages.show    GET      /messages/<id>

The paramenter only accept string or array, so, you can use only=["index", "show", "new", "create"]

close #16

This verion contain break change:

• Now the routes are be registered using .py file.
• To standardize the application the mvc_flask extension just work with app directory
• You can register routes based in methods: GET, POST, UPDATE and DELETE
• we no longer support to routes.json file.

To register routes you can use the routes.py inside app directory and the file must contain the import Router object, The Router object must be used to register the routes. You can use GET, POST, UPDATE and DELETE methods to register routes. E.g:

from mvc_flask import Router

Router.get("/", "home#index")
Router.get("/hello", "home#hello")
Router.post("/messages", "messages#create")
Router.put("/users/<id>", "users#update")
Router.delete("/users/<id>", "users#delete")

It would be nice if we could refactor the FlaskMVC class including the blueprint calls to create the new routes.

This will make it easier to call hooks, such as:

• before_requests
• after_requests

and etc. Related by issue #10

For enhancement the extensions, we could create commands for generate controllers and etc. E.g:

flask generate controller home

The command must generate file:

app
├── controllers
│   └── home_controller.py
