Flask For Beginners 🍾

What is Flask ?

Flask is a micro framework made in python language. It is a minimalistic framework. It is a micro framework but it can build full fledged apps like other made by Django.

A simple flask server is as follows :

from flask import Flask # Importing Flask from flask

app = Flask(__name__) # Initializing Flask 

app.route("/")  # Routing Flask
def Home():
    return "Hello World"

if __name__ == '__main__':
    app.run(debug=True) # Running Flask Application

Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

It is super simple to use. It can get full fleged framework by using libraries below,

  1. Flask Login for authintication.
  2. Flask-SQLAlchemy for ORM like Django.
  3. Flask-WTF for forms.
  4. Flask-Mail for STMP Mails.
  5. Celery for background tasks.

That's it. 😊

Thank You
