Flask CRUD App README

This README provides an overview of the Flask CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) application. This application allows users to perform basic CRUD operations on a database using a Flask web server.

Installation

1. Clone the Repository: Clone the repository to your local machine using the following command:

   git clone https://github.com/Pal-Sandeep/Flask-ToDo-App.git

2. Navigate to the Project Directory: Change your current directory to the cloned project directory:

   cd Flask-ToDo-App

3. Create a Virtual Environment: It's recommended to use a virtual environment to isolate project dependencies. You can create a virtual environment using virtualenv or venv:

   virtualenv venv

   or

   python3 -m venv venv

4. Activate the Virtual Environment: Activate the virtual environment:

   On macOS/Linux:

   source venv/bin/activate

   On Windows:

   venv\Scripts\activate

5. Install Dependencies: Install the project dependencies using pip:

   pip install -r requirements.txt

6. Set Up the Database: Configure the database settings in config.py and run migrations to set up the database schema:

   flask db init
   flask db migrate -m "Initial migration"
   flask db upgrade

7. Run the Application: Start the Flask development server:

   flask run

   The application will be accessible at http://localhost:5000 by default.
