When I started working on the backend of the startup I'm a part of right now, everything was already setup. I'd setup flask once, a year or so ago, just following along with a tutorial, but setting up a sensible project structure that was comfortable turned out to be surprisingly difficult.
The way the backend is structured is pretty straightforward:
It's pretty standard, nothing new. The project structure is:
$ tree backend
├── app.py
├── backend
│ ├── __init__.py
│ ├── main.py
│ ├── models.py
│ ├── schemas.py
│ └── utils.py
├── config.py
├── docs
├── poetry.lock
├── pyproject.toml
├── README.md
└── route_testing
This time I went about setting everything up in a step-by-step manner, instead of the usual gungo-ho style of setting things up by looking at duckduckgo and wondering why it doesn't work.
It might seem like a lot of things to do, but all of them are small atomic tasks that I could work on one after the other. Breaking problems down into small digestable chunks helps me keep my anxiety low and also make the project surprisingly easy to make.
Then, I played Breath of the Wild for 3 hours, I needed that Master Sword :|
