cookiecutter VS Jinja2

Sometimes I use this to abstract boilerplate https://github.com/cookiecutter/cookiecutter

It can use a repo as a template.

It supports some interactive questions to choose options but mostly it is jinja templates.

Having libraries would be another option.

Install the cookiecutter package using the following command:

Consider taking a look at cookiecutter to generate projects from templates. There is also cookiecutter-django. As for your environment variables you should have an example .env file containing all the environment variables required by your project (without setting them) that can be safely pushed into your repository for you and other developers to copy into the actual .env file that'll be used by your project (add this file to .gitignore)

The Python Cookiecutter library revolutionizes project development by offering streamlined approach to creating template projects and improving developer experience.

We use cookie cutter templates (the Python project, https://github.com/cookiecutter/cookiecutter ), we prompt for the module & version etc

Why not use cookiecutter or a similar tool designed for making these sorts of project templates?

Is it common? I don't know. Is it useful? Absolutely. There is a tool called cookiecutter that allows you to define your own setup. For example, my cookiecutter setup for a python library is here. You can see what it's like by first installing the cookiecutter cli and then running

Also cookiecutter.

Visual Cookiecutter enhances the functionality of cookiecutter by offering unique features such as required fields, conditional input parameters, optional descriptions, and the ability to fix mistakes easily. This package seamlessly integrates with cookiecutter so that all existing templates work out-of-the-box.

But, on the other hand, I can read in the jinja repository that there is not the same Switching From Other Template Engines and also exists documentation about Support for templates engines

jinja: Default templating engine for and dependency of flask

or as complex as bringing Jinja into the picture. Some other options include mustache templates, the built in Template class, and some libraries noted here.

Jinja

Hey u/GuzTech , this issue is mostly related to an old version of jinja that you might be using, here is the report: https://github.com/pallets/jinja/issues/1585

Turns out it wasn't how I was getting the variable -- registered from the api call VS lookup('file') -- it was mainly that for some reason, using 'map()' sometimes needs ' | list | to_json ' tacked on to the end to correctly output the results without the "generator object do_map at xxxx" instead (as mentioned here).

Cookiecutter is a command-line utility that creates projects from templates. There's a list of templates maintained by the cookiecutter team and plenty of community awesome lists. It's built with python and uses the jinja templating framework (found in python web frameworks like flask). You can use it to make a template for pretty much anything! All you need to get started is pip install cookiecutter.

This major release of Flask is accompanied by major releases of Werkzeug, Jinja2, click, and itsdangerous which we'd also welcome and appreciate testing (their pre releases are installed with the Flask pre release).
