Creating a blueprint - Aimlackies/Reporter GitHub Wiki

This is a basic guide on creating a new blueprint

Add blueprint import to __init__.py

Add the collowing to the function called create_app() in reporter_app/__init__.py. Replace blueprint_name with a descriptive (but short) name for the blueprint.
```
from reporter_app.blueprint_name import bp as blueprint_name_bp
app.register_blueprint(blueprint_name_bp)
```
Create 2 folders with the name of the blueprint. The first will go at reporter_app/blueprint_name and the second reporter_app/templates/blueprint_name.
Create the basic blueprint files in reporter_app/blueprint_name i. Create a file called __init__.py and past this code (changing blueprint_name to the name of the blueprint)
```
from flask import Blueprint

bp = Blueprint('blueprint_name', __name__)

from reporter_app.blueprint_name import routes
from reporter_app.blueprint_name import forms
```
ii. Create two additional files in reporter_app/blueprint_name. The first will be called routes.py and the second forms.py
You are done! Well... kind of. Now its up to you to add the rest, but that will depend on what you are adding so the steps for doing so are down to you. From steps 1 to 3 you will have a file structure with a few new folders and files which will kind of look like this:

Repository root
|
|-reporter_app
|     |
|     |-blueprint folder
|     |     |
|     |     |-__init__.py
|     |     |-routes.py
|     |     |-forms.py
|     |
|     |-templates
|     |     |
|     |     |-blueprint folders
|     |
|     |-__init__.py
