SPA quick start using Python, Flask, and Vue.js. Containerized with Docker.

• docker
• docker-compose
• make (optional)

This repository is meant to be a full-stack web application starting point. It contains these basic parts and features:

• Containerized with Docker and Docker Compose
• Frontend code built with Webpack
• Example full-stack 'wall message' web application

• Python3 and Flask
• MySQL database container and driver
• Redis cache container and driver
• Architecture:
  • API (interface endpoints, call into service layer, format response)
  • Services (operate on data objects, business logic)
  • Data Objects (stateful models, represent deserialized records, implements CRUD)
  • Data Store Drivers (intermediary interface between application and datastore)

• Vue.js
• vue-router
• Architecture:
  • Services (handle state and business logic, injectable into views and components)
  • Views (top level page components)
  • Components (UI building blocks, reusable, nestable)

make up runs a Vue frontend server, a backend JSON API server, a MySQL database, and a Redis cache. Changes to frontend source files and backend source files are automatically reflected via hot-reload.

First, spin-up the dev environment:

make up

Then, connect to the app server container:

make app-shell

Once connected, run the table creation python script:

cd /app/server/scripts/ && python3 create-wall-message-table.py

Lastly, navigate to the 'wall messages' dev web page and create some messages:

http://localhost:4000/wall-messages

Connect to app server container:

make app-shell

Connect to MySQL container:

make mysql-shell

Connect to Redis container:

make redis-shell
