ASPPY SPA Prompt Builder
Generate a complete prompt for building a Single Page Application with React frontend and ASPPY-powered ASP API endpoints
What is this?
This prompt builder is designed for Single Page Applications (SPAs) where the frontend and backend are fully decoupled. The frontend is a React app that communicates with ASPPY-powered Classic ASP API endpoints over JSON. The ASP layer serves as a pure REST API — no server-side HTML rendering.
Architecture: React handles all routing and rendering in the browser. ASP files handle all data access, business logic, and JSON responses. SQLite is the database. Each project lives in a single flat folder containing four files.
Setup: ASPPY is installed via pip — the agent must NOT assume a GitHub clone exists. Default to pip install "asppy[all]" on Python 3.9+, then scaffold with asppy-new myapp and serve with asppy. Only reference www/, www_starter/, www_test/ if the agent is explicitly working from a source checkout.
File Structure
ASPPY Environment Setup
How will the AI agent install and run ASPPY? pip install is the default — no GitHub download required. Only choose source checkout if the repo is already cloned.
Prerequisite: Python 3.9+ (python.org/downloads). Full install: pip install "asppy[all]" — runtime + all extras (pdf, image, crypto, odbc, xml). Minimal: pip install asppy (zero third-party deps, SQLite works out of the box).
