Generate a Quart-Imp Blueprint

Quart-Imp has its own type of blueprint. It comes with some methods to auto import routes, and nested blueprints etc... see ImpBlueprint / Introduction for more information.

You have the option to generate a regular template rendering blueprint, or a API blueprint that returns a JSON response.

quart-imp blueprint --help

or

quart-imp api-blueprint --help

To generate a Quart-Imp blueprint, run the following command:

quart-imp blueprint

or

quart-imp api-blueprint

After running this command, you will be prompted to enter the location of where you want to create your blueprint:

~ $ quart-imp blueprint
(Creation is relative to the current working directory)
Folder to create blueprint in [Current Working Directory]:

As detailed in the prompt, the creation of the blueprint is relative to the current working directory. So to create a blueprint in the folder app/blueprints, you would enter app/blueprints in the prompt.

~ $ quart-imp blueprint
(Creation is relative to the current working directory)
Folder to create blueprint in [Current Working Directory]: app/blueprints

You will then be prompted to enter a name for your blueprint:

~ $ quart-imp blueprint
...
Name of the blueprint to create [my_new_blueprint]:

The default name is 'my_new_blueprint', we will change this to 'admin'

~ $ quart-imp blueprint
...
Name of the blueprint to create [my_new_blueprint]: admin

After creating your blueprint, the folder structure will look like this:

app/
├── blueprints
│   └── admin
│       ├── routes
│       │   └── index.py
│       │
│       ├── static
│       │   ├── css
│       │   │   └── water.css
│       │   ├── img
│       │   │   └── quart-imp-logo.png
│       │   └── js
│       │       └── main.js
│       │
│       ├── templates
│       │   └── www
│       │       ├── extends
│       │       │   └── main.html
│       │       ├── includes
│       │       │   ├── footer.html
│       │       │   └── header.html
│       │       └── index.html
│       │
│       └── __init__.py
│
...

This is a self-contained blueprint, so it has its own static, templates and routes folders. You can now navigate '/admin'

You can streamline this process by specifying the name of the blueprint, the folder to create it in and the configuration to use, like so:

quart-imp blueprint -n admin -f app/blueprints
