A fully functional Example project written in Python showing how to create a Flask Web application that requests Database authentication and allows one to
This is a simple Flask web application that allows users to sign up, log in, and write and save notes. The application uses MySQL for storing user details and notes. It incorporates Flask for web development, Werkzeug for password hashing, Flask-Login for user session management, and SQLAlchemy for database interaction.
- Make sure you have Python and pip installed on your machine. You can use an IDE of your choice but I suggest Pycharm for this project
- Make sure you download XAMPP to connect to MySQL. https://www.apachefriends.org/download.html
- Open PHPMYADMIN using this url link on your browser http://localhost/phpmyadmin
pip install -r requirements.txt
pip install Flask Flask-Login Flask-SQLAlchemy mysql-connector-python
Your can create MYSQL database inside PHPMYADMIN
SQLALCHEMY_DATABASE_URI = 'mysql+mysqlconnector://username:password@localhost/database_name'
- Replace username, password, and database_name with your MySQL credentials.
Run python main.py
- Visit http://127.0.0.1:5000 in your web browser.
- Open the web app and sign up for a new account.
- Log in with your credentials.
- Navigate to the homepage to write and save notes.
- Flask: A web framework for Python.
- Flask-Login: Provides user session management for Flask.
- Flask-SQLAlchemy: Adds SQLAlchemy support to Flask.
- Werkzeug: A WSGI utility library for Python.
- User passwords are hashed using Werkzeug for security.
- SQLAlchemy is used to interact with the MySQL database.
- User input is validated using Python validation processes.

Feel free to add any home page of your choice and implement backend python code to add functionality to its front end with additional features like CSS & JS static files etc.
