A new Fantastico based project can be easily setup by following this how to. In this how to we are going to create a project named fantastico_first.
The last step might take a while because it will also install all fantastico dependencies (e.g sphinx, sqlalchemy, ...). Please make sure your replace python3.2 with the correct python version. In order to test the current project do the following:
Your newly project is setup correctly and it runs fantastico default samples project.
After the new project it’s correctly setup we can create our first component.
. pip-deps/bin/activate
export FANTASTICO_ACTIVE_CONFIG=my_project.settings.BaseProfile
cd my_project
mkdir component1
cd component1
mkdir static
Paste an image into static folder (e.g first_photo.jpg)
touch __init__.py
touch hello_world.py
Paste the code listed below into hello_world.py
from fantastico.mvc.base_controller import BaseController
from fantastico.mvc.controller_decorators import ControllerProvider, Controller
from webob.response import Response
@ControllerProvider()
class HelloWorldController(BaseController):
'''This is a very simple controller provider.'''
@Controller(url="/component1/hello")
def say_hello(self, request):
'''This method simply returns an html hello world text.'''
msg = "Hello world from my project"
return Response(content_type="text/html", text=msg)
fantastico_dev_server
Now you can access Hello route [http://localhost:12000/component1/hello].
Now you can access First photo route [http://localhost:12000/component1/static/first_photo.jpg].
For understanding how to customize dev server please read Development mode
By design, each Fantastico project provides built in support for running it on uWSGI server [http://uwsgi-docs.readthedocs.org/en/latest/]. If you want to customize uwsgi parameters for your server you can follow these steps:
