Flask Emergency App

Emergency application designed to showcase basic functionalities of Flask. It utilizes Flask along with Flask extensions such as Flask-Login, Flask-Mail, and Flask-SQLAlchemy.

Setup

1. Install Dependencies: Before running the application, ensure you have Python installed on your system. You can install the required dependencies using pip:

   pip install flask flask-login flask-mail sqlalchemy
   

2. Environment Variables:

   • Create a .env file in the root directory of the project.
   • Use the template below to define necessary environment variables:

   # .env
   
   # Mail configuration
   MAIL_SERVER=
   MAIL_PORT=
   MAIL_USE_TLS=
   MAIL_USE_SSL=
   MAIL_USERNAME=
   MAIL_PASSWORD=
   MAIL_DEFAULT_SENDER=
   

   Replace placeholders (<...>) with appropriate values.

3. Database Setup: Ensure your database is set up and running. Update the SQLALCHEMY_DATABASE_URI and SECRET_KEY in the __init__.py file with the appropriate database connection string.

4. Run the Application: Once dependencies are installed and environment variables are configured, you can run the Flask application:

   flask run
   

   By default, the application will be accessible at http://localhost:5000.
