Webapp template/example:

• Backend REST API implemented in Python / Flask
• Frontend app implemented in Typescript / React

The easiest way to deploy the service is by Docker.

docker-compose up

This should start the service in http://localhost:5000/

The backend server is a modified version of Flask Tutorial.

You need Python 3. Using a venv or conda is also recommended.

pip install -r requirements.txt

To run tests:

pytest test

To start the server:

export FLASK_APP=server
flask run

The default port for the backend http://127.0.0.1:5000/

The ./frontend directory is created by create-react-app.

To build the frontend, you will need:

• nodejs (tested on v13.8.0)
• npm (tested on v6.14.6) or yarn (tested on v1.22.0)

yarn install
# or `npm install`

To run the frontend in the development mode on http://localhost:3000, run:

npm start

To build frontend Typescript into a static minified bundle, run:

npm run build
