Python Flask backend

Boilerplate

This repository contains boilerplate codes to build an API service using Python Flask.

Step by step

A sample endpoint for Calculate Square is in this repo, where you can POST to the API endpoint /square.

• Go to square.py under app/routes folder in this template and you will find a post method with name /square
• Write your implementation in this method. This method will be the entry point when you submit your solution for evaluation
• Note the init.py file in each folder. This file makes Python treat directories containing it to be loaded in a module

To run

You will first need to have Python's virtualenv. Below are the instructions for Windows.

pip install virtualenv

Next up, create the virtual environment.

python -m venv venv

You can run/activate the virtual environment and install the required packages.

.\venv\Scripts\activate
pip install -r requirements.txt

Finally, run the services!

python app.py
