MEDIHACK 2024 is an exciting hackathon that focuses on developing innovative solutions using cutting-edge technologies such as OpenAI, ReactJs, Flask, Generative AI, and Gemini. In this tutorial, we will walk you through how to create a web app for MEDIHACK 2024 using these technologies.
Before we start coding, make sure you have a basic understanding of HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and Python. If you are new to any of these technologies, I recommend reviewing some tutorials or courses before proceeding.
First, let’s set up the basic structure of our web app using HTML. Create a new HTML file and add the following code:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<title>MEDIHACK 2024</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Welcome to MEDIHACK 2024!</h1>
<p>Get ready to hack with the latest technologies!</p>
</body>
</html>
In this HTML code, we have set up the basic structure of our web app with a heading and a paragraph. Next, we will integrate ReactJs to make our web app more interactive.
To start using ReactJs, we need to include the React library in our HTML file. Add the following scripts to the <head>
tag of your HTML file:
<script src="https://unpkg.com/react@17/umd/react.development.js"></script>
<script src="https://unpkg.com/react-dom@17/umd/react-dom.development.js"></script>
Now, let’s create a root element in our HTML file where we will render our React components. Add the following <div>
tag inside the <body>
tag:
<div id="root"></div>
Next, create a new JavaScript file for our React components. Add the following code to your JavaScript file:
const App = () => {
return (
<div>
<h1>Welcome to MEDIHACK 2024!</h1>
<p>Get ready to hack with the latest technologies!</p>
</div>
);
}
ReactDOM.render(<App />, document.getElementById('root'));
Don’t forget to include this JavaScript file in your HTML file using the <script>
tag:
<script src="app.js"></script>
Now, when you open your HTML file in a web browser, you should see the content rendered by ReactJs.
Next, let’s add Flask to our web app to create a backend server for handling data and API requests. Create a new Python file for your Flask server and add the following code:
from flask import Flask, jsonify
app = Flask(__name__)
@app.route('/')
def index():
return jsonify(message='Welcome to MEDIHACK 2024!')
if __name__ == '__main__':
app.run(debug=True)
To run your Flask server, open a terminal and run the following command:
python app.py
Your Flask server should now be running on http://127.0.0.1:5000/
.
Finally, let’s integrate OpenAI’s Generative AI model, Gemini, into our web app to generate creative content. You can use Gemini’s API to interact with the model and get AI-generated text for your app.
To use Gemini, you will need to sign up for an API key and include it in your web app.
With these steps, you have created a web app for MEDIHACK 2024 using OpenAI, ReactJs, Flask, Generative AI, and Gemini. This tutorial covers the basics of setting up your web app, and you can further expand and customize it to fit your hackathon project. Have fun hacking!
