base-sanic

A skeleton project using sanic framework. I designed this skeleton for the API development only, but you can modify it if you want to use this skeleton also for full stack web development / web apps.

Stacks

Main programming language: Python3
Framework: Sanic
Configuration: Python Dotenv

Dependencies:

Sanic (of course)
Python dotenv: Manage environment variable for configurations
aiohttp: Async http client/server library (actually you should got this lib from sanic itself, i just need to make sure about it)
Fabric3: Manage automated tasks

The purpose of this project not to adding new functionalities to Sanic, but just 
to provide a simple skeleton, so you can start working on your new project quickly,
and of course using Sanic as your main framework.

Getting Started

Install dependencies :

pip install -r requirements.txt

Start sanic:

python main.py

Start with debug:

python main.py --debug

Enable access logs:

python main.py --access

Structures

apps

Put all of your apps here. I'm just following Django modular apps here.

core

This place used to put all core library (not business logic) like for helpers and also for sanic's extensions like custom exception handler or custom middlewares.

main

You need to install all of your apps or extentions by registering their blueprint, for more detail, you can see the code inside main.py.

Settings

We are using python-dotenv to manage all of your configurations. There is file named with env.default , put all of your config keys here (do not put your sensitive values, like your api key). You need to copy and rename the file to .env (this file listed at .gitignore), and configure your configuration key and values in this file (.env).

You need to add all of those configurations to settings.py, then all your configurations will be loaded inside sanic's lifecycle, you can access these configurations from your blueprint's apps, using request.app.config.

Automate Tests & Tasks

I'm also a fan of automated tests. This skeleton also provide a basic structures that maybe you will need it to manage all of your tests.

For all tests it will separated by their modules, examples:

tests/apps
tests/core

It will help you to select your context when running test.

Besides of automated tests, this skeleton also provide basic automated tasks using Fabric3.

You can setup your tasks in fabfile.py. An example to run your tests:

fab test:apps
