I'm new with flask-migrate (and so with Python...) but I'll get to the point.
I used to store all of my models inside a single models.py file but then I decided to separate every model to its corresponding file.
After reading this question. I assumed this would be a quick way for Flask-Migrate (or Alembric) to know all modules within the models package. So I did that way, but once I tried the flask db migrate command, the generated migration file simply dropped a few tables but not all of them.
Here's the project structure:
├── app/
│ ├── __init__.py
│ └── api/
│ ├── __init__.py
│ ├── models/
│ │ ├── __init__.py
│ │ ├── model1.py
│ │ └── model2.py
│ ├── resources/
│ └── schemas/
└── run.py
run.py
from app import create_app
app = create_app()
app.run(port=5000)
app/__init__.py
from flask import Flask
from flask_migrate import Migrate
from flask_sqlalchemy import SQLAlchemy
db = SQLAlchemy()
migrate = Migrate()
def create_app():
app = Flask(__name__)
db.init_app(app)
migrate.init_app(app, db)
# importing the models...
from .api import models # this should work?
# ... or do I have to manually write every single module?
return app
app/api/models/__init__.py
from os.path import dirname, basename, isfile, join
import glob
# Trying to apply what I learned from the referenced question...
modules = glob.glob(join(dirname(__file__), "*.py"))
__all__ = [
basename(f)[:-3] for f in modules if isfile(f) and not f.endswith("__init__.py")
]
Model files in app/api/models/
from app import db
class ExampleModel(db.Model):
# Model declarations goes here...
pass
So... to summarize this question, is there a better way to do this or I should import every single module in the app/__init__.py file?
