ποΈ Getting Started with Flask
Flask is a lightweight, extensible web framework that makes it simple to expose Python functionality over HTTP. Its flexible design lets you start with a single file application and then grow into a modular service.
ποΈ Handle Requests and Responses in Flask
Once you have a Flask application up and running, the next step is to expose different kinds of interactions so teammates can supply parameters, send queries, or submit data. The examples below build progressively richer routes, all powered by Flask's built-in request handling.
ποΈ Serve Static Files in Flask
Static files are assets that Flask sends to the browser without running Python code for each request. Common examples include CSS files, images, JavaScript files, fonts, and downloaded documents.
ποΈ Render HTML Templates with Jinja2
Returning long HTML strings from route functions works for small tests, but it quickly becomes hard to read and maintain. Flask uses Jinja2 templates so the Python route can focus on request handling while the HTML stays in separate files.
