Flask Web Framework

• It is a web framework that can be used to easily build Web Applications.
• Web applications usually need core functionalities such as interacting with client requests, routing URLs to resources, rendering web pages and interacting with databases.
• Flask provides the necessary packages, modules that do the heavy lifting & as a develepor we need to focus on the acutal application logic.
• The reason why we choose the Flask is that Flask is minimalistic (Also regarded as micro web framework)
• If we want to build further functions, there is vast number of Flask extensions.

Building a Simple Recipe Management Application

• We are going to build a recipe-sharing platform and API is the interface we expose to the public.
• Lets start with Basic functions that we will need

• The typical recipe should have the following attributes

  • ID: The unique identifier for the recipe
  • Name: The name of the recipe
  • Description: The description of the recipe

• Lets create a new project or use the project created in the last session.

• Ideally recipes should be coming from database. Till we write database code to this lets use static responses

• Lets refer the documentation of Flask API reference Refer Here

• Lets try to send the responses in json format

• Refer Here for the changes done

• Refer Here for the postman collection added

• Refer Here for the code changes to get individual recipe.
