# [Jinja Template](https://appseed.us/jinja-template) - Volt PRO
# Flask/Jinja Volt Dashboard PRO

**Jinja Template** starter generated by the AppSeed platform on top of **[Volt Dashboard PRO](https://docs.appseed.us/bootstrap-template/volt-dashboard-pro/)** Design. The codebase is basically a simple Flask starter without a database or hard dependencies. The template can be used for UI integration into legacy Python-based products.
**Flask/Jinja Template** generated by `AppSeed` op top of **[Volt Dashboard PRO](https://appseed.us/generator/volt-dashboard/)**, a modern `Bootstrap 5` dashboard design. The project is a super simple Flask project WITHOUT database, ORM, or any other hard dependency. The project can be used as a codebase for future project or to migrate the Jinja files and assets to a legacy Python-based project that uses Jinja as template engine (Flask, Bottle, Django).

## Quick Start in [Docker](https://www.docker.com/)
![Volt Dashboard PRO - Starter generated by AppSeed.](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/51070104/172672843-8c40a801-3438-4e9c-86db-38a34191fbdf.png)

> Get the code
<br />

```bash
$ git clone https://github.com/app-generator/priv-jinja-dashboard-volt-pro.git
$ cd priv-jinja-dashboard-volt-pro
```
## ✨ Start the app in Docker

> Start the app in Docker
> **Step 1** - Download the [code](https://appseed.us/product/volt-dashboard-pro/flask/) and unzip the sources (requires a `purchase`).
```bash
$ docker-compose pull # download dependencies
$ docker-compose build # local set up
$ docker-compose up -d # start the app
$ # Get the code
$ unzip flask-volt-dashboard-pro.zip
$ cd flask-volt-dashboard-pro
```

Visit `http://localhost:85` in your browser. The app should be up & running.

<br />

> **Step 3** - Start the APP in `Docker`
```bash
$ # Clone the sources
$ git clone https://github.com/app-generator/priv-jinja-template-volt-pro.git
$ cd priv-jinja-template-volt-pro
$
$ # Virtualenv modules installation (Unix based systems)
$ virtualenv env
$ source env/bin/activate
$
$ # Virtualenv modules installation (Windows based systems)
$ # virtualenv env
$ # .\env\Scripts\activate
$
$ # Install requirements
$ pip3 install -r requirements.txt
$
$ # Set the FLASK_APP environment variable
$ (Unix/Mac) export FLASK_APP=run.py
$ (Windows) set FLASK_APP=run.py
$ (Powershell) $env:FLASK_APP = ".\run.py"
$
$ # Set up the DEBUG environment
$ # (Unix/Mac) export FLASK_ENV=development
$ # (Windows) set FLASK_ENV=development
$ # (Powershell) $env:FLASK_ENV = "development"
$
$ # Run the Jinja Volt PRO
$ # --host=0.0.0.0 - expose the app on all network interfaces (default 127.0.0.1)
$ # --port=5000 - specify the app port (default 5000)
$ flask run --host=0.0.0.0 --port=5000
$
$ # Access the UI in browser: http://127.0.0.1:5000/
$ docker-compose up --build
```

## Code-base structure
## ✨ How to use it

The project has a simple structure, represented as bellow:
> Download the [code](https://appseed.us/product/volt-dashboard-pro/flask/) and unzip the sources (requires a `purchase`).
```bash
< PROJECT ROOT >
|
|-- app/__init__.py
|-- app/
| |-- static/
| | |-- <css, JS, images> # CSS files, Javascripts files
| |
| |-- templates/
| | |
| | |-- includes/ # Page chunks, components
| | | |
| | | |-- navigation.html # Top bar
| | | |-- sidebar.html # Left sidebar
| | | |-- scripts.html # JS scripts common to all pages
| | | |-- footer.html # The common footer
| | |
| | |-- layouts/ # App Layouts (the master pages)
| | | |
| | | |-- base.html # Used by common pages like index, UI
| | | |-- base-fullscreen.html # Used by auth pages (login, register)
| | |
| | index.html # The default page
| | login.html # Auth Login Page
| | register.html # Auth Registration Page
| | page-404.html # Error 404 page (page not found)
| | page-500.html # Error 500 page (server error)
| | *.html # All other pages provided by the UI Kit
|
|-- requirements.txt
|
|-- run.py
|
|-- ************************************************************************
$ # Get the code
$ unzip flask-volt-dashboard-pro.zip
$ cd flask-volt-dashboard-pro
```

<br />

## Recompile CSS

To recompile SCSS files, follow this setup:

<br />

**Step #1** - Install tools

- [NodeJS](https://nodejs.org/en/) 12.x or higher
- [Gulp](https://gulpjs.com/) - globally
- `npm install -g gulp-cli`
- [Yarn](https://yarnpkg.com/) (optional)
### 👉 Set Up for `Unix`, `MacOS`

<br />

**Step #2** - Change the working directory to `assets` folder
> Install modules via `VENV`
```bash
$ cd app/base/static/assets
$ virtualenv env
$ source env/bin/activate
$ pip3 install -r requirements.txt
```

<br />

**Step #3** - Install modules (this will create a classic `node_modules` directory)
> Set Up Flask Environment
```bash
$ npm install
// OR
$ yarn
$ export FLASK_APP=run.py
$ export FLASK_ENV=development
```

<br />

**Step #4** - Edit & Recompile SCSS files
> Start the app
```bash
$ gulp
$ flask run
```

The generated files (css, min.css) are saved in `static/assets/css` directory.

<br />

## Deployment

The project comes with a basic configuration for [Docker](https://www.docker.com/), [HEROKU](https://www.heroku.com/), [Gunicorn](https://gunicorn.org/), and [Waitress](https://docs.pylonsproject.org/projects/waitress/en/stable/).
At this point, the app runs at `http://127.0.0.1:5000/`.

<br />

### [Docker](https://www.docker.com/) execution
---

The steps to start the template using Docker:
### 👉 Set Up for `Windows`

> Get the code
> Install modules via `VENV` (windows)
```bash
$ git clone https://github.com/app-generator/priv-jinja-template-volt-pro.git
$ cd priv-jinja-template-volt-pro
```

> Start the app in Docker
```bash
$ sudo docker-compose pull && sudo docker-compose build && sudo docker-compose up -d
$ virtualenv env
$ .\env\Scripts\activate
$ pip3 install -r requirements.txt
```

Visit `http://localhost:5005` in your browser. The app should be up & running.

<br />

### [Heroku](https://www.heroku.com/)
---

Steps to deploy on **Heroku**

- [Create a FREE account](https://signup.heroku.com/) on Heroku platform
- [Install the Heroku CLI](https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/getting-started-with-python#set-up) that match your OS: Mac, Unix or Windows
- Open a terminal window and authenticate via `heroku login` command
- Clone the sources and push the project for LIVE deployment
> Set Up Flask Environment
```bash
$ # Clone the source code:
$ git clone https://github.com/app-generator/priv-jinja-template-volt-pro.git
$ cd priv-jinja-template-volt-pro
$
$ # Check Heroku CLI is installed
$ heroku -v
heroku/7.25.0 win32-x64 node-v12.13.0 # <-- All good
$
$ # Check Heroku CLI is installed
$ heroku login
$ # this commaond will open a browser window - click the login button (in browser)
$ # CMD
$ set FLASK_APP=run.py
$ set FLASK_ENV=development
$
$ # Create the Heroku project
$ heroku create
$
$ # Trigger the LIVE deploy
$ git push heroku master
$
$ # Open the LIVE app in browser
$ heroku open
$ # Powershell
$ $env:FLASK_APP = ".\run.py"
$ $env:FLASK_ENV = "development"
```

<br />

### [Gunicorn](https://gunicorn.org/)
---

Gunicorn 'Green Unicorn' is a Python WSGI HTTP Server for UNIX.

> Install using pip
```bash
$ pip install gunicorn
```
> Start the app using gunicorn binary
> Start the app
```bash
$ gunicorn --bind 0.0.0.0:8001 run:app
Serving on http://localhost:8001
$ flask run
```

Visit `http://localhost:8001` in your browser. The app should be up & running.
At this point, the app runs at `http://127.0.0.1:5000/`.

<br />

### [Waitress](https://docs.pylonsproject.org/projects/waitress/en/stable/)
---

Waitress (Gunicorn equivalent for Windows) is meant to be a production-quality pure-Python WSGI server with very acceptable performance. It has no dependencies except ones that live in the Python standard library.

> Install using pip
### 👉 Code-base structure

```bash
$ pip install waitress
```
> Start the app using [waitress-serve](https://docs.pylonsproject.org/projects/waitress/en/stable/runner.html)
The project has a simple, intuitive structure presented bellow:

```bash
$ waitress-serve --port=8001 run:app
Serving on http://localhost:8001
