How to use

1. Copy the file startproject.py to the directory where you will create the flask project.
2. Run with the command:

$ python3 startproject.py your_project_name --venv --sqlal

IMPORTANT

• Do not use spaces in your project name. Prefer underscores instead spaces.
• The --venv argument indicates that you want to create a virtual environment. It will be created inside the project's root folder as .venv.
• The --sqlal argument indicates that you want to install SQLAlchemy in your project.
• If you don't pass any arguments, they will be asked for you.

In the Makefile file, we have some useful commands, which we use with the make command, such as:

command	what he does
make clean	clears the project folder
make install	install our project as a package python
make install-dev	similar to install, but with requirements-dev.txt
make test	run tests
make run	run flask
make run-dev	run flask in the development environment
