Flask Basics

Introduction to Flask

Flask is a lightweight WSGI web application framework. It is designed to make getting started quick and easy,

with the ability to scale up to complex applications.

Installation

You can install Flask using pip: pip install Flask

Your First Flask App

Create a Python file and write a simple route with Flask:

from flask import Flask

app = Flask(__name__)

@app.route('/')

def home():

return 'Hello, Flask!'

Routing

Flask uses decorators to map URLs to functions.

@app.route('/about')

def about():
 Flask Basics

return 'About page'

Template Rendering

Flask supports Jinja2 templates. Create an HTML file and render it:

from flask import render_template

@app.route('/')

def home():

return render_template('index.html')

Handling Forms

Use Flask's request object to get form data.

from flask import request

@app.route('/submit', methods=['POST'])

def submit():

name = request.form['name']

return 'Hello ' + name

Redirects and URL Building

Use redirect and url_for for page navigation.

from flask import redirect, url_for

 Flask Basics

return redirect(url_for('home'))

Static Files

Serve CSS, JS, and images from the static folder. Access with /static/filename

Working with Databases

Use Flask-SQLAlchemy or Flask-PyMongo to connect to relational or NoSQL databases.

Session Management

Flask provides session support using cookies. Set a secret key and use session like a dictionary.
