Gemstone microservice template

A cookiecutter template for quickly generating a microservice structure

Attributes:

• name - the name of the microserivice. This will be the name of the main module so it should only contain something that is a valid Python module identifier (lowercase letters, underscore and maybe digits)
• version - the version of the microservice
• author - your name
• short_description - a few words about your microservice

This will generate the following structure (let's say the name attribute is microsvc:

- readme.rst # a generic readme
- setup.py  # a minimal setup.py for easily installation if the package
- MANIFEST.in  # for static file inclusion
- microsvc # the main module of the service
  - cli.py  # a command-line utility script.
  - service.py  # where the main MicroService class is
  - handelers # for custom handlers
    - index.py # dummy Tornado handler for "/"
  - html
    - static # this ships with MaterializeCSS frontent framework
      - css
      - js
      - fonts
        - roboto
    - templates
      - template.html  # the base template
      - index.html    # demo greetings message to be desplayed at "/"

By default, it assumes that all the templates will be in the templates directory. If you make some restructuring in the templates and/or static directories, you have to update the MANIFEST.in file to inlclude the extra files properly.

Enjoy :)
