Flask: Develop Web Applications in Python

## Initial set-up for Flask

To run a `Flask` application on Educative, we do not need to set up anything. All code will run inside the special environment within the browser. **It’s as easy as that!**


Educative is designed in such a way that we do not get distracted by dependencies and get right into what is essential: **the learning**. 

## Writing our first application 

The simplest Flask application can be made using only one script! Let us call this file `app.py`. We will break down the program into steps and discuss one.


### Step 1: Importing modules
For this application, we only need the `Flask` module from the `flask` package. So let's import that first.
```python 3
from flask import Flask
```
### Step 2: Creating a Flask object

We need to make an object with the imported `Flask` module. This object will be our **WSGI** application called `app`. As discussed before, the *WSGI aspect* of the application is taken care of by the `Flask` module.


```python 3
app = Flask(__name__)
``` 

### Step 3: Run the application in main
To run our application, we need to call the `run()` function of our application object.
```python 3
if __name__ == "__main__":
    app.run()
```
The `run()` function has some optional parameters. For complete documentation, refer [here](https://flask.palletsprojects.com/en/2.0.x/api/). 

### Step 4: Create a view function

Before we run the application, we need to tell the application to show something as output in the browser window. Thus, we create a function called `hello()` which returns the string `"Hello World!"`. The output returned from this function will be shown in the browser.  
```python 3
def hello():
    return "Hello World!"; 
```
### Step 5: Assign a URL route
Finally, we need to tell the Flask app when to call the view function `hello()`. For this purpose, we will create a URL route. A URL route is associated with each view function. This association is created by using the `route()` decorator before each view function. 
```python
@app.route("/") 
def hello():
    return "Hello World!"; 
```


## Complete implementation
The following program shows the complete implementation of a "Hello World" application in Flask!

> 📌 **Note:** In the `run()` function below we have specified `debug = True`, `host = "0.0.0.0"` and `port = 3000`. Due to the platform configurations, we will be using these same values for `host` and `port`.
