PyBuilder Archetype API Plugin

This plugin generates a structure for a project that requieres endpoints (APIs or web services). This plugin needs pybuilder_archetype_base due to its dependancy with one of its tasks (create_archetype_api).

In the following diagram there is every directory and file created during create_archetype_api execution (take note that create_archetype_base task will add more packages and directories -check its README.md file for more information):

src
└── package_name
    ├── api  # For every script related with the web services
    |   ├── __init__.py
    |   └── api_example.py
    ├── config
    |   ├── __init__.py
    |   └── constants.py
    ├── __init__.py
    ├── gunicorn_config.py  # Gunicorn launching configuration
    ├── main.py  # Script with Flask app
    └── wsgi.py  # WSGI file for server launch
requirements.txt

Content from requirements.txt and constants.py files will be added to the currently existing ones, trying to keep the values set by other plugins.

How to use pybuilder_archetype_api

NOTICE: This plugin only works on Windows due to its dependency with pybuilder_archetype_base PyBuilder plugin. Using this plugin in other OS shall not work properly. Multi-platform support soon.

Add plugin dependencies to your build.py (it requires pybuilder_archetype_base and pybuilder_pycharm_workspace to work properly):

use_plugin('pypi:pybuilder_pycharm_workspace')
use_plugin('pypi:pybuilder_archetype_base')
use_plugin('pypi:pybuilder_archetype_api')

Configure the plugin within your init function:

@init
def initialise(project):
    project.set_property('project_base_path', project_path)

This will tell the plugin which is the project location in the filesystem. project_base_path property value should be always the same.

Launch the task with:

(venv) C:\Users\foo\PycharmProjects\bar> pyb create_archetype_api

build.py file recommended

Check pybuilder_archetype_base build.py recommendation.
