Things to remember

Make sure you have installed flask, flask_cors, and requests

Make sure they know how to route URL using app.route(...), stick to method bindings only don't bother with class binding, we need to keep things simple

To run a flask app use either

• set FLASK_APP=serverEvents.py

  flask run --host=0.0.0.0

• OR within the main python file use the following

  • app.run(port=8080, threaded=True, host=('0.0.0.0')) that can then be executed using python <main file>

Make sure they know how to transmit JSON object between python apps

Make sure they know how to send JSON data from a browser (a React app) to a python app and extract that data in the app - I used request.ge_json() from the flask library

Make sure they know how to send JSON data from a python app to a browser (a React app) and extract that data in the React app - I used json.dumps()
