# Python App Template
A Cookiecutter template for building CLI-first Python applications with `uv`, Typer, Pydantic, and strict typing.
## Features
- CLI-first architecture with Typer
- Local-first config (XDG paths) with env override
- `uv_build` backend and lockfile-first reproducibility
- Ruff for linting/formatting
- MyPy strict mode
- Pytest with coverage support
- Invoke tasks for common operations
- `py.typed` marker for typed packages
- Example command wired from core `commands/` into CLI
## Quick Start
1. Install cookiecutter:
```bash
pipx install cookiecutter
```
2. Generate a new project:
```bash
cruft create https://gitlab.com/roxautomation/templates/python-app-template
```
Or locally:
```bash
cookiecutter /path/to/python-app-template
```
3. Post-generation hook runs `uv lock` to create `uv.lock`.
4. Bootstrap the generated project:
```bash
uv sync --frozen --group dev
uv run invoke lint
uv run invoke test
```
## Template Variables
| Variable | Description | Example |
|----------|-------------|---------|
| `project_name` | Human-readable project name | "My CLI App" |
| `project_slug` | Repository/directory name | "my-cli-app" |
| `package_name` | Python package name | "my_cli_app" |
| `description` | Short project description | "A modern CLI tool" |
| `author_name` | Author's full name | "Your Name" |
| `author_email` | Author's email | "your.email@example.com" |
| `version` | Initial version | "0.1.0" |
Python is fixed to 3.12+ by template policy.

## Development Workflow
### Setup
```bash
uv sync --frozen --group dev
```
### Code Quality
```bash
uv run ruff check src tests
uv run ruff format --check src tests
uv run mypy src
uv run invoke lint
```
### Testing
```bash
uv run pytest
uv run invoke test
```
## Template Development
To modify this template:
1. Edit files in `{{cookiecutter.project_slug}}/`
2. Update variables in `cookiecutter.json`
3. Modify the post-generation hook in `hooks/post_gen_project.py`
4. Test changes:
```bash
./test.sh
```
## Requirements
- Python 3.12+
- `uv`
- `cruft` or `cookiecutter`
