Welcome to the Flask MVC Structure with Discord Integration! This project is primarily a Flask-based web application following the MVC (Model-View-Controller) structure, with the added feature of integrating a Discord bot using Disnake. This setup allows you to build a web app while also having a Discord bot running in parallel, enabling additional functionality. The structure is flexible, allowing you to expand it for more parallel tasks, or easily adjust it to run a single task as needed.

This project has been archived and is no longer maintained. It represents an older version of the application.

✅ New Version Available

A new and improved version of this project is available here: 👉 Zeython

We recommend using the new version for the latest features, updates, and improvements.

• MVC Structure: Organized codebase that follows the MVC pattern for better separation of concerns:
  • Models handle data.
  • Views are rendered by Flask, found in resources/views.
  • Controllers handle business logic for web and API routes.
• Routing:
  • API routes are defined in routes/api.py.
  • Web routes are in routes/web.py.
• Database Abstraction: Easy-to-extend database layer (database/db.py) for managing models.
• Templates & Static Files: Resources such as HTML, CSS, and JavaScript are stored in resources/.

• Commands:
  • Traditional text-based Discord commands in app/Commands/Context.
  • Slash commands in app/Commands/Slash.
• Parallel Execution: The Discord bot runs alongside the Flask application for seamless interaction between web and Discord functionalities.
• Utility Actions: Functions like pagination, embeds, and webhook handling in app/Actions.

• Containerization: Provided Dockerfile allows you to run the entire application in a Docker container, simplifying the setup process.

• Vendor Integrations: Open for contributions to implement third-party integrations or plugins within the vendor/ directory.
• Authentication: Integrate authentication (OAuth or token-based) for the web app and APIs.
• File Management: Add advanced handling for user uploads within the storage/ folder.
• Error Handling & Logging: Enhance error handling across both Flask and Discord components, with proper logging.

Contributions are welcome! If you'd like to collaborate, feel free to fork this repository and submit a pull request. Potential areas of contribution include:

• Implementing additional Flask features.
• Expanding Discord bot functionalities (commands, event listeners, etc.).
• Integrating new third-party APIs or services.
• Improving the MVC structures
