Jinja Star Admin

Jinja Template project generated by AppSeed on top of a modern UI Kit. Star Admin 2 is an open-source Bootstrap 5 dashboard template provided by BootstrapDash. The project can be used as a codebase for future project or to migrate the Jinja files and assets to a legacy Python-based project that uses Jinja as template engine (Flask, Bottle, Django).


Features:

  • Up-to-date dependencies: Flask 2.0.1
  • SCSS compilation via Gulp
  • UI Kit: Star Admin 2 (Free Version) by BootstrapDash
  • Render Engine: Flask / Jinja2
  • Deployment scripts: Docker, Gunicorn/Nginx, HEROKU
  • Support via Github (issues tracker) and Discord.

Recompile CSS

To recompile SCSS files, follow this setup:


Step #1 - Install tools

  • NodeJS 12.x or higher
  • Gulp - globally
    • npm install -g gulp-cli
  • Yarn (optional)

Step #2 - Change the working directory to assets folder

$ cd app/static/assets

Step #3 - Install modules (this will create a classic node_modules directory)

$ npm install
// OR
$ yarn

Step #4 - Edit & Recompile SCSS files

$ gulp scss

The generated file is saved in static/assets/css directory.


Deployment

The project comes with a basic configuration for Docker, HEROKU, Gunicorn, and Waitress.

Heroku

Steps to deploy on Heroku

  • Create a FREE account on Heroku platform
  • Install the Heroku CLI that match your OS: Mac, Unix or Windows
  • Open a terminal window and authenticate via heroku login command
  • Clone the sources and push the project for LIVE deployment
$ # Clone the source code:
$ git clone https://github.com/app-generator/boilerplate-code-jinja.git
$ cd boilerplate-code-jinja
$
$ # Check Heroku CLI is installed
$ heroku -v
heroku/7.25.0 win32-x64 node-v12.13.0 # <-- All good
$
$ # Check Heroku CLI is installed
$ heroku login
$ # this commaond will open a browser window - click the login button (in browser)
$
$ # Create the Heroku project
$ heroku create
$
$ # Trigger the LIVE deploy
$ git push heroku master
$
$ # Open the LIVE app in browser
$ heroku open

Gunicorn

Gunicorn 'Green Unicorn' is a Python WSGI HTTP Server for UNIX.

Install using pip

$ pip install gunicorn

Start the app using gunicorn binary

$ gunicorn --bind 0.0.0.0:8001 run:app
Serving on http://localhost:8001

Visit http://localhost:8001 in your browser. The app should be up & running.


Waitress

Waitress (Gunicorn equivalent for Windows) is meant to be a production-quality pure-Python WSGI server with very acceptable performance. It has no dependencies except ones that live in the Python standard library.

Install using pip

$ pip install waitress

Start the app using waitress-serve

$ waitress-serve --port=8001 run:app
Serving on http://localhost:8001

Visit http://localhost:8001 in your browser. The app should be up & running.
