Introduction to Flask: Flask Tutorial Series #1

Posted by

First Flask Project – Flask Tutorial Series #1

Welcome to our Flask Tutorial Series!

In this tutorial series, we will be learning how to build web applications using Flask, a lightweight web framework for Python. This is the first article in the series where we will be setting up our first Flask project.

Setting up Flask

First, make sure you have Python installed on your computer. You can download it from here.

Next, install Flask using the following command:

pip install Flask

Creating our first Flask application

Now let’s create a new folder for our Flask project. Inside this folder, create a new Python file called app.py.

In app.py, add the following code:


from flask import Flask

app = Flask(__name__)

@app.route('/')
def home():
return 'Hello, Flask!'

if __name__ == '__main__':
app.run()

Save the file and navigate to the project folder in your terminal. Run the following command to start the Flask development server:

python app.py

Visit http://127.0.0.1:5000/ in your browser to see your first Flask application in action!

Conclusion

Congratulations on setting up your first Flask project! In the next article, we will learn more about Flask routes, templates, and database integration. Stay tuned for more tutorials in our Flask Tutorial Series!

I just finished building my first website with python and flask. I would love to see more content from you on the subject. I'm sure I've probably missed some things along the way that would have made it easier since I'm a beginner.
