What is the best Flask project structure?

This is a question that you should ask yourself from the beginning, but the problem with this is, what will your project need, is it different from other projects you’ve done already? How can I have one single project structure that will make sure my project will not have a problem, while at the same time will also allow me to improve and keep growing?

The answer is that you don’t have this kind of structure, but, you have one pattern for your structure that will allow you to keep growing and not block and create more problems.

The baseline for any Flask project structure.

1 — Single module structure.

There are 2 basic formats that you can start your project, one is using a Single Module format.

    app.py
    config.py
    requirements.txt
    static/
    templates/
