Cookiecutter for Birdhouse

Cookiecutter template for a Python package.

A Cookiecutter template for a Birdhouse bird package

Cookiecutter is a command-line utility to create projects from templates. This cookiecutter-birdhouse template creates a barebones PyWPS server adhering to Birdhouse conventions. It comes complete with a framework for installation, configuration, deployment, documentation and tests. It even includes a Dockerfile for containerization! Create your project then get started writing new WPS processes in minutes.

You may at any time update your project using the latest cookiecutter template using Cruft.

• GitHub_Workflows: Ready for GitHub Workflows Continuous Integration testing
• Tox testing: Setup to easily test for Python 3.9, 3.10, 3.11, and 3.12
• Sphinx docs: Documentation ready for generation with, for example, ReadTheDocs
• bump-my-version: Pre-configured version bumping with a single command
• Auto-release to PyPI when you push a new tag to master (optional)
• A Makefile to install the code, start, stop, poll the server and more

Installation

Prior to installing cookiecutter-birdhouse, the cookiecutter and cruft packages must be installed in your environment. This is achieved via the following commands:

$ python -m pip install cookiecutter
$ python -m pip install cruft

With cookiecutter and cruft installed, the cookiecutter-birdhouse template can be installed with:

$ cruft create https://github.com/bird-house/cookiecutter-birdhouse.git

Once cookiecutter clones the template, you will be asked a series of questions related to your project:

full_name [Full Name]:
email [your@email]:
github_username [bird-house]:
project_name [Babybird]:
project_slug [babybird]:
project_repo_name [babybird]:
project_readthedocs_name [babybird]:

Choose from 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 [1]:
http_port [5000]:
use_pytest [y]:
use_black [y]:
create_author_file [y]:

The answer to all those questions are recorded in the .cruft.json file in your generated bird.

Usage

After answering the questions asked during installation, a bird Python package will be created in your current working directory. This package will contain a configurable PyWPS service with some initial test processes.

Then:

• Create a repository on GitHub and upload files there.
• Enable GitHub_Workflows for the repository.
• Add the repo to your ReadTheDocs account, then turn on the ReadTheDocs service hook.

For more details, see the cookiecutter-pypackage tutorial.

See the babybird example of a generated bird.

To keep the generated bird up-to-date with the cookiecutter template:

$ cruft update  # uses configurations in the .cruft.json file

Cruft can be configured to ignore template changes to certain files, see https://cruft.github.io/cruft/#updating-a-project. Potential files to ignore:

• demonstration files, because they are meant to be erased
• environment files and list of processes, list of tutorial notebooks since they naturally are different between each bird

See cruft_skip example.

To link already generated project that was not initially generated using cruft create:

$ cruft link https://github.com/bird-house/cookiecutter-birdhouse

This will create the .cruft.json file so subsequently cruft update can be used. You will need to answer the same questions as cruft create above.

Note

After cruft link, the commit field in the .cruft.json file will initially be wrong if you selected the default value. To ensure a proper subsequent cruft update, you need to edit the .cruft.json file and put the proper last commit of the cookiecutter used in that commit field. See cruft_link example.

Development

If you want to extend the cookiecutter template then prepare your development environment as follows:

# clone repo
$ git clone git@github.com:bird-house/cookiecutter-birdhouse.git

# change into repo
$ cd cookiecutter-birdhouse

# create conda environment
$ conda env create -f environment.yml

# activate conda environment
$ source activate cookiecutter-birdhouse

# run tests
$ make test

# bake a new bird with default settings
$ make bake

# the new "baked" bird is created in the cookies folder
$ ls -l cookies/
babybird

# well ... you know what to do with a bird :)

# finally you may clean it all up
$ make clean

Bump a new version

Make a new version of this Cookiecutter in the following steps:

• Make sure everything is commit to GitHub.
• Update CHANGES.rst with the next version.
• Dry Run: bump-my-version bump --dry-run --verbose --new-version 0.3.1 patch
• Do it: bump-my-version bump --new-version 0.3.1 patch
• ... or: bump-my-version bump --new-version 0.4.0 minor
• Push it: git push --tags

See the bump-my-version documentation for details.
