Setting up Your Project
We will start by creating a new project and setting up our development environment. First, create a new directory for your project and navigate to it.
~ $ mkdir chatapp
~ $ cd chatappNext, we will create a virtual environment for our project. This is optional, but recommended. In this example, we will use venv to create our virtual environment.
chatapp $ python3 -m venv venv
$ source venv/bin/activateNow, we will install Reflex and create a new project. This will create a new directory structure in our project directory.
chatapp $ pip install reflex
chatapp $ reflex init
────────────────────────────────── Initializing chatapp ───────────────────────────────────
Success: Initialized chatapp
chatapp $ ls
assets chatapp rxconfig.py venvYou can run the template app to make sure everything is working.
chatapp $ reflex run
─────────────────────────────────── Starting Reflex App ───────────────────────────────────
Compiling: ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 100% 1/1 0:00:00
─────────────────────────────────────── App Running ───────────────────────────────────────
App running at: http://localhost:3000You should see your app running at http://localhost:3000.
Reflex also starts the backend server which handles all the state management and communication with the frontend. You can test the backend server is running by navigating to http://localhost:8000/ping.
Now that we have our project set up, in the next section we will start building our app!
