javascript and python build and deploy a full stack web app

building and deploying a full-stack web application using javascript and python is a common approach in modern web development. this tutorial will guide you through creating a simple web app that allows users to create, read, update, and delete notes. we will use flask (python) for the backend and react (javascript) for the frontend.

prerequisites

1. **basic knowledge of javascript and python.**
3. **python 3.x installed** (for flask).
4. **flask installed** (you can install it using `pip install flask`).
5. **a code editor** (like vscode).

project structure

our project will have the following structure:

step 1: set up the backend with flask

1. **create a directory for your project:**



this file will contain our flask server code.



this file lists the dependencies for the backend.



4. **install the dependencies:**



5. **run the flask server:**



step 2: set up the frontend with react

1. **create the react app:**

navigate back to the main project directory and create a react app.



2. **install axios for making http requests:**





4. **run the react app:**



step 3: connecting the frontend and backend

make sure both the flask backend and the react frontend are running. you should be able to add, view, and delete notes through the react app, which communicates with the flask api.

step 4: deploying the application

deploying the backend (flask)

1. **choose a hosting service** (e.g., heroku, aws, digital ocean).
2. **follow the service's instructions to deploy your flask app**. for example, on heroku:

- create a `procfile` in the `backend` directory:



- creat ...
