Python Project File Structure

file structure of python and which file contains frontend and which file contains logic

In a typical Python project, especially one involving both frontend and backend logic, the structure can
vary based on the framework being used. Below is a common file structure in a Python-based web
application, particularly with frameworks like Flask or Django, and how the files are organized in
terms of frontend and logic (backend):

Example Structure for a Python Project (Flask)

bash

project_name/
│
├── app/
│ ├── __init__.py # Initializes the application, creates the app object
│ ├── routes.py # Contains routes/endpoints (logic and control)
│ ├── models.py # Contains database models (logic)
│ ├── forms.py # Contains form logic (if applicable)
│ ├── static/ # Frontend static files (CSS, JS, images)
│ │ ├── css/
│ │ ├── js/
│ │ └── images/
│ └── templates/ # HTML files for the frontend
│ ├── base.html
│ ├── index.html
│ └── ...
├── config.py # Configuration settings (e.g., database, environment
variables)
├── run.py # Starts the Flask application
└── requirements.txt # List of dependencies (e.g., Flask, SQLAlchemy)

Frontend Files:

`static/` folder: Contains frontend assets such as:


CSS files (for styling)
JavaScript files (for frontend interactivity)
Images or other static content
`templates/` folder: Contains the HTML files that define the structure of the frontend. Files like
`index.html` or `base.html` are often here.

Logic (Backend) Files:

`routes.py`: Handles the routing of different URLs and contains the logic that determines what
happens when a user navigates to a particular page.
`models.py`: Defines the database structure (tables and relationships).

`forms.py`:If the application uses forms, this file contains the logic for handling form
submissions and validation.
`config.py`: Stores configuration variables and settings, like database connections or API keys.

Example Structure for a Python Project (Django)

bash

project_name/
│
├── project_name/
│ ├── __init__.py # Initializes the Django project
│ ├── settings.py # Project settings (database, middleware, etc.)
│ ├── urls.py # URL routing logic for the project
│ ├── wsgi.py # Entry point for WSGI servers
│ └── asgi.py # Entry point for ASGI servers
│
├── app_name/
│ ├── migrations/ # Database migrations
│ ├── __init__.py # Initializes the app
│ ├── admin.py # Admin panel configuration
│ ├── apps.py # App-specific settings
│ ├── models.py # Database models (logic)
│ ├── views.py # Views to handle request/response (logic)
│ ├── forms.py # Form logic (optional)
│ ├── static/ # Static files (CSS, JS, images)
│ │ ├── css/
│ │ ├── js/
│ │ └── images/
│ └── templates/ # HTML templates for the frontend
│ ├── base.html
│ └── index.html
│
├── manage.py # Command-line utility for administrative tasks
└── requirements.txt # Dependencies (e.g., Django, libraries)

Frontend Files:

`static/` folder: Contains CSS, JS, and image files for the frontend.
`templates/` folder: Contains HTML templates for rendering web pages.

Logic (Backend) Files:

`views.py`: Handles the business logic for requests and responses, interacting with models and
rendering templates.
`models.py`: Defines the database schema.
`urls.py`: Defines the URL patterns that map to views.
`forms.py`: Manages form logic, handling input and validation.

Summary:

Frontend: The `templates/` folder (for HTML) and `static/` folder (for CSS/JS) contain frontend
code.
Logic: Files like `routes.py`/`views.py`, `models.py`, and `forms.py` contain the core business
logic, handling data, and interactions.
