Cookiecutter template for making a minimal dash app, deployable to Heroku.
A live demo is running at cookiecutter-dash.herokuapp.com.
To use this cookiecutter template you need to have cookiecutter installed.
pip install cookiecutter
Create a new public repository in GitHub, this will be the name of your app. Do not initialize the repository with a .gitignore LICENSE or README
On your local machine navigate to your workspace and run:
cookiecutter https://github.com/brianthomasross/cookiecutter-dash-app.git
This will ask you a few questions, be sure to use the app name from the GitHub repo you created earlier.
When you've answered all the questions a folder will have been created with the app name.
Navigate into the directory cd <your-app-name>
Then run the following:
git init
git add .
git commit -m "Initial commit"
git remote add origin <the url for your github repo>
git push origin master
When you've made through the above commands you can navigate to your repo on GitHub. Scroll down and you will see a deploy to Heroku button. Click the button and choose a name for your app on Heroku, this will prepend the url your-app-name.herokuapp.com will be the main site.
Click Deploy and the app should build! Enjoy!
Thanks to Ryan Herr for the original template as inspiration.
