To recompile SCSS files, follow this setup:
Step #1 - Install tools
Step #2 - Change the working directory to assets
folder
$ cd app/static/assets
Step #3 - Install modules (this will create a classic node_modules
directory)
$ npm install
// OR
$ yarn
Step #4 - Edit & Recompile SCSS files
$ gulp scss
The generated file is saved in static/assets/css
directory.
The project comes with a basic configuration for Docker, Gunicorn, and Waitress.
Gunicorn 'Green Unicorn' is a Python WSGI HTTP Server for UNIX.
Install using pip
$ pip install gunicorn
Start the app using gunicorn binary
$ gunicorn --bind 0.0.0.0:8001 run:app
Serving on http://localhost:8001
Visit http://localhost:8001
in your browser. The app should be up & running.
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
$ pip install waitress
Start the app using waitress-serve
$ waitress-serve --port=8001 run:app
Serving on http://localhost:8001
Visit http://localhost:8001
in your browser. The app should be up & running.
