This Flask application is a simulated task manager that allows users to create, view, update, and delete tasks. It's designed as a learning tool to demonstrate the fundamentals of Flask web development. By building this app, you'll gain experience with:
Routing: Defining different URLs for specific actions in your application.
Templating: Using HTML templates to structure and display content in your web pages.
Forms: Creating forms to capture user input for adding or updating tasks.
Databases: Interacting with a database (SQLite in this case) to store and manage task data.
This basic task manager provides a foundation for understanding how Flask applications are structured and how they interact with users.
Prerequisites
- Python 3.6 or later (https://www.python.org/downloads/)
- pip (usually comes bundled with Python)
Installation
-
Clone the repository using Git:
git clone https://github.com/JashT14/Task-Master.git
-
Navigate to the project directory:
cd Task-Master -
Install the required dependencies:
pip install -r requirements.txt
Running the App
-
Start the development server:
python app.py
This will typically start the Flask development server on
http://127.0.0.1:5000/by default. You can access the application in your web browser at that URL.
Additional Notes
- The
requirements.txtfile lists all the Python packages required by the application. - The
app.pyscript is a common way to start Flask applications in development mode.
Development Tips
- Flask applications typically use a web development framework like Jinja2 for templating. You may want to familiarize yourself with Jinja2 syntax if you plan to modify the application's templates.
- By default, the Flask development server is not recommended for production use. Consider using a production-ready web server like Gunicorn or uWSGI when deploying your application to a live server.
