Build

The build operation collects and prepares the application for deployment on a specific platform.

Usage

$ # Build the local application.
$ weblodge build

$ # Build the application in the 'myapp' folder.
$ weblodge build --src myapp

Details

This command is sensible to the application structure. Applications must follow the pre-defined pattern or specify custom values.

Here is an example of the standard pattern deployable without configuration:

$ cat app.py  # The application entry point.
from flask import Flask

app = Flask(__name__)  # The Flask application.

@app.route("/")
def hello_world():
   return "<p>Hello, World!</p>"

It can be deployed with:

$ weblodge deploy --build

Here is a non-standard example:

$ cat main.py  # The application entry point.
from flask import Flask

my_app = Flask(__name__)  # The Flask application.

@app.route("/")
def hello_world():
   return "<p>Hello, World!</p>"

To be able to deploy the application, you must first build it and specify: - The entry point file: main.py. - The Flask application: my_app.

$ # Build the application.
$ weblodge build --entry-point main.py --flask-app my_app
$ # Deploy the application.
$ weblodge deploy
