Step-by-Step Tutorial: Creating a Python Flask CRUD Application

Introduction to Flask Framework

  1. Start by downloading and installing Python 3.6 from the official website.
  2. Choose an IDE, such as PyCharm, and download the community version which is free.
  3. You will also need a web server for hosting your Flask application.

Setting Up the Flask Application

  1. Open your preferred IDE and create a new project named "FlaskCRUDApplication."
  2. Install Flask by running the command pip install flask in your terminal.
  3. Create a new Python file and name it app.py.
  4. Import Flask by adding from flask import Flask at the beginning of your app.py file.
  5. Create a Flask application instance by initializing Flask: app = Flask(__name__).

Creating Routes in Flask

  1. Define a route by using the @app.route decorator followed by the URL and HTTP method.
  2. For example, you can create a route that returns "Hello Flask" by writing:
@app.route('/')
def hello():
    return 'Hello Flask'

Running the Flask Application

  1. Run the Flask development server by adding the following code at the end of your app.py file:
if __name__ == '__main__':
    app.run(debug=True)
  1. Launch your Flask application by running the app.py file.
  2. Access your Flask application in a web browser by visiting http://localhost:5000.

Conclusion

  2. This tutorial serves as an introduction to Flask framework and sets the foundation for building a CRUD web application using Python.
