About the Stack

The application is a fullstack application I used:

• Flask for the backend
• HTML, CSS and Bootstrap for the frontend.

Backend

The main.py contains a completed Flask Server.

Setting up the backend

Install the dependencies

1. Python. I used version 3.9 for this project. Here's the instruction to install python
2. I recommend working within a virtual environment whenever using Python for projects. This keeps your dependencies for each project separate and organized. Instructions for setting up a virtual environment for your platform can be found in the python docs
3. PIP Dependencies - Once your virtual environment is up and running, install the required dependencies by running:

  pip install -r requirements.txt 

Key Pip Dependencies

• Flask is a lightweight backend microservices framework. Flask is required to handle requests and responses.
• SQLAlchemy is the Python SQL toolkit and ORM I used to handle the lightweight SQL database

Export flask

for Linux users: execute:

$ export FLASK_APP = "main.py"

for windows cmd:

FLASK_APP=main.py

Run the Server

  flask run --reload
