DEPRECATED: DO NOT USE.

ALTERNATIVES:

• you can fork one of the built-in hello world examples to your own app. See here

cookiecutter-jina

Cookiecutter template for a Jina project

Quick start

Use with Jina (>=0.5.5)

pip install jina[devel]
jina hub new --type app

It will start a wizard in CLI to guide you to create your first app. The resulting file structure should look like:

- MyAwesomeApp/
    |
    |- Dockerfile
    |- README.md
    |- requirements.txt
    |- app.py
    |- flows/
        |- index.yml
        |- query.yml
    |- pods/
        |- craft.yml
        |- chunk.yml
        |- doc.yml
        |- encode.yml

Use without Jina

Install the latest Cookiecutter if you haven't installed it yet (this requires Cookiecutter 1.4.0 or higher):

pip install -U cookiecutter

Generate a Jina project:

cookiecutter gh:jina-ai/cookiecutter-jina

Install Jina requirements:

cd MyAwesomeApp/
pip install .

Exporting Environment Variables

Before running python app.py, set environment variables like MAX_DOCS and JINA_DATA_PATH using export. For example:

export JINA_DATA_PATH='./data/startrek_tng.csv'

Fork This / Create Your Own

If you have differences in your preferred setup, I encourage you to fork this to create your own version. Or create your own; it doesn't strictly have to be a fork.

• Once you have your own version working, add it to the Similar Cookiecutter Templates list above with a brief description.

• It's up to you whether or not to rename your fork/own version. Do whatever you think sounds good.

Best Practices

Jina apps created with the methods above:

• Store their Pods in the pods directory
• Store their Flows in the flows directory

We highly encourage you to use these methods for your own apps, and especially if you're planning to create examples for Jina.
