Build web applications using React.js for the front end and python/flask for your backend API.

• Documentation can be found here:https://start.4geeksacademy.com/starters/react-flask
• Here is a video onhow to use this template
• Integrated with Pipenv for package managing.
• Fast deloyment to herokuin just a few steps here.
• Use of .env file.
• SQLAlchemy integration for database abstraction.

It is recomended to install the backend first, make sure you have Python 3.8, Pipenv and a database engine (Posgress recomended)

1. Install the python packages:$ pipenv install
2. Create a .env file based on the .env.example:$ cp .env.example .env
3. Install your database engine and create your database, depending on your database you have to create a DATABASE_URL variable with one of the possible values, make sure you replace the valudes with your database information:

4. Migrate the migrations:$ pipenv run migrate (skip if you have not made changes to the models on the./src/api/models.py)
5. Run the migrations:$ pipenv run upgrade
6. Run the application:$ pipenv run start

To insert test users in the database execute the following command:

$ flask insert-test-users 5

And you will see the following message:

  Creating test users  test_user1@test.com created.  test_user2@test.com created.  test_user3@test.com created.  test_user4@test.com created.  test_user5@test.com created.  Users created successfully!

To update with all yours tables you can edit the file app.py and go to the line 80 to insert the code to populate others tables

• Make sure you are using node version 14+ and that you have already successfully installed and runned the backend.

1. Install the packages:$ npm install
2. Start coding! start the webpack dev server$ npm run start

This boilerplate it's 100% read to deploy with Render.com and Heroku in a matter of minutes. Please read theofficial documentation about it.
