Masonite: MVC web framework for Python
Blog post from LogRocket
Masonite is a Python web framework that brings the features of modern frameworks like PHP's Laravel and Ruby's Rails to Python, offering a more familiar convention for developers. This tutorial introduces Masonite by guiding users through the creation of a simple to-do list application, highlighting its various features such as inbuilt email support, a powerful command line tool called "craft," and an ORM similar to Active Record. The framework's structure includes controllers, actions, and routes that align with MVC web framework terminology, making it intuitive for developers familiar with other frameworks. The tutorial covers key steps such as setting up a virtual environment, creating controllers and routes, rendering templates, handling JSON data, managing database migrations, and deploying the application to Heroku. By leveraging Masonite's extendable architecture and straightforward configuration, developers can build scalable and maintainable web applications while benefiting from a streamlined workflow designed to maximize productivity.
