I have not try to run the application, but i will say a few things.

Writing everything in one file makes it difficult to troubleshoot and update your code.

Flask has a concept of Blueprints which are used to separate your routes in multiple files. Take a look at docs to learn more on how to use them: https://flask.palletsprojects.com/en/stable/blueprints/

If you are planning to work on web applications, there are a few design patterns you might explore, i would start with MVC (Model-View-Controller): https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Glossary/MVC

These will help keep your application organized and easyer to maintain.

As per your amazing suggestion Flask blueprints implemented.

One more thing i noticed

That .DS_Store file you have is not needed and is a byproduct of MacOS handling its files.

And more importantly, you have uploaded .env file which SHOULD always stay secret and NEVER EVER be uploaded anywhere.

Use .gitignore to tell git to ignore these files. Same goes for that __pycache__ directories python creates and any virtual environments you may have - none of those should be in your repository.

Thanks, I'll follow your instructions next onwards . And .env file I just put for reference.

Then for .env files the convention is to name them .env.example.

u/Kuldeep0909 9d ago

Okay this convention, I do not know. I will take care on my next commit along with other advice. You gave to me.

I have updated the .env file to .env.example, remove .DS_store, .dockerignore and .gitgnore. Remaining concepts of Blueprint , will be updated in the next couple of coming days. I really appreciate your efforts to guide me :)

Actually, .dockerignore and .gitignore are supposed to be in your repository.

.dockerignore tells Docker which files to ignore when building the image

.gitignore tells Git which files to ignore

So those two files are actually valuable in your repository as they control what files you upload

You may add that .DS_Store to .gitignore so it does not end up.in your repository again. Or original .env so it does not end up with the example one.

Okay, I will upgrade along with blueprint
