Large Flask Applications

There are several ways to organize large applications but in my opinion this is one of the ways that I think the applications are more maintainable. The way in this gist varies from the way proposed in the Flask documentation.

Features

• Centralize the routes into a single file by importing the routing functions
• Create different controller functions inside a controllers.py or even a separate controllers package
• Create a folder for the different views if applicable
• Create a folder for static files if thats applicable

controllers.py

def index():
	return 'Hello World'

requirements.txt

Flask==0.10.1

routes.py

from flask import Flask
from controllers import index

app = Flask(__name__)

app.route('/')(index)

app.run(debug=False)
