Profile Application using Python Flask and MySQL

26 May, 2022
Project Title: Profile Application using Python Flask and MySQL
Type of Application (Category): Web application.
Introduction: A framework is a code library that makes a developer’s life easier when building web applications by providing reusable code for common operations. There are a number of frameworks for Python, including Flask, Tornado, Pyramid, and Django. Flask is a lightweight web application framework. It is classified as a micro-framework because it does not require particular tools or libraries. Side tabs are used for single page web applications or to display different contents.
Pre-requisite: Knowledge of Python, MySQL Workbench and basics of Flask Framework. Python and MySQL Workbench should be installed in the system. Visual studio code or Spyder or any code editor to work on the application.
Technologies used in the project: Flask framework, MySQL Workbench.
Implementation of the Project:
(1) Creating Environment
Step-1: Create an environment. Create a project folder and a venv folder within.
py -3 -m venv venv
Step-2: Activate the environment.
venv\Scripts\activate
Step-3: Install Flask.
pip install Flask
(2) MySQL Workbench
Step-1: Install MySQL workbench.Link to install : https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/workbench/Know more about it : https://www.mysql.com/products/workbench/
Step-2: Install ‘mysqlbd’ module in your venv.
pip install flask-mysqldb
Step-3: Open MySQL workbench.
Step-4: Write the following code. The above SQL statement will create our database geekprofile with the table accounts.
Step-5: Execute the query.
(3) Creating Project
Step-1: Create an empty folder ‘geeksprofile’.
Step-2: Now open your code editor and open this ‘geeksprofile’ folder.
Step-3: Create ‘app.py’ folder and write the code given below.
# Store this code in 'app.py' filefrom flask import Flask, render_template, request, redirect, url_for, sessionfrom flask_mysqldb import MySQLimport MySQLdb.cursorsimport re    app = Flask(__name__)

 return redirect(url_for('login'))    @app.route("/display")def display():    if 'loggedin' in session:        cursor = mysql.connection.cursor(MySQLdb.cursors.DictCursor)        cursor.execute('SELECT * FROM accounts WHERE id = % s', (session['id'], ))        account = cursor.fetchone()            return render_template("display.html", account = account)    return

elif request.method == 'POST':            msg = 'Please fill out the form !'        return render_template("update.html", msg = msg)    return redirect(url_for('login'))  if __name__ == "__main__":    app.run(host ="localhost", port = int("5000"))
Step-4: Create the folder ‘templates’. create the files ‘index.html’, ‘display.html’, ‘update.html’, ‘login.html’, ‘register.html’ inside the ‘templates’ folder.
Step-5: Open ‘login.html’ file and write the code given below. In ‘login.html’, we have two fields i.e. username and password. When user enters correct username and password, it will route you to index page otherwise ‘Incorrect username/password’ is displayed.
<!--Store this code in 'login.html' file inside the 'templates' folder--><html>    <head>        <meta charset="UTF-8">        <title> Login </title>        <link rel="stylesheet" href="../static/style.css">           </head>    <body>        <div class="logincontent" align="center">            <div class="logintop">                <h1>Login</h1>            </div></br></br></br></br>            <div class="loginbottom">              <form action="{{ url_for('login')}}" method="post" autocomplete="off">            <div class="msg">{{ msg }}</div>            <input type="text" name="username" placeholder="Enter Your Username" class="textbox" id="username" required></br></br>            <input type="password" name="password" placeholder="Enter Your Password" class="textbox" id="password" required></br></br></br>            <input type="submit" class="btn" value="Login">              </form></br></br>              <p class="worddark">New to this page? <a class="worddark" href="{{ url_for('register')}}">Register here</a></p>            </div>        </div>    </body></html>
Step-6: Open ‘register.html’ file and write the code given below. In ‘register.html’, we have nine fields i.e. username, password, email, organisation, address, city, state, country, postal code. When user enters all the information, it stored the data in the database and ‘Registration successful’ is displayed.
<!--Store this code in 'register.html' file inside the 'templates' folder--> <html>    <head>        <meta charset="UTF-8">        <title> register </title>        <link rel="stylesheet" href="../static/style.css">           </head>    <body>        <div class="registercontent" align="center">            <div class="registertop">                <h1>Register</h1>            </div></br></br>            <div class="registerbottom">              <form action="{{ url_for('register')}}" method="post" autocomplete="off">            <div class="msg">{{ msg }}</div>            <input type="text" name="username" placeholder="Enter Your Username" class="textbox" id="username" required></br></br>            <input type="password" name="password" placeholder="Enter Your Password" class="textbox" id="password" required></br></br>            <input type="email" name="email" placeholder="Enter Your Email ID" class="textbox" id="email" required></br></br>            <input type="text" name="organisation" placeholder="Enter Your Organisation" class="textbox" id="organisation" required></br></br>            <input type="text" name="address" placeholder="Enter Your Address" class="textbox" id="address" required></br></br>            <input type="text" name="city" placeholder="Enter Your City" class="textbox" id="city" required></br></br>            <input type="text" name="state" placeholder="Enter Your State" class="textbox" id="state" required></br></br>            <input type="text" name="country" placeholder="Enter Your Country" class="textbox" id="country" required></br></br>            <input type="text" name="postalcode" placeholder="Enter Your Postal Code" class="textbox" id="postalcode" required></br></br>            <input type="submit" class="btn" value="Register">              </form>              <p class="worddark">Already have account? <a class="worddark" href="{{ url_for('login')}}">Login here</a></p>            </div>        </div>    </body></html>
Step-7: Open ‘index.html’ file and write the code given below. When user logs in successfully, this page is displayed and ‘Logged in successful!’ is displayed.
<!--Store this code in 'index.html' file inside the 'templates' folder--><html lang="en">    <head>        <title>index</title>        <link rel="stylesheet" href="../static/style.css">    </head>      <body bgcolor="#e6ffee">        <div class="one">            <div class="two">                <h1>Side Bar</h1>                <ul>                    <li class="active"><a href="{{url_for('index')}}">Index</a></li>                    <li><a href="{{url_for('display')}}">Display</a></li>                    <li><a href="{{url_for('update')}}">Update</a></li>                    <li><a href="{{url_for('logout')}}">Log out</a></li>                </ul>             </div>            <div class="content" align="center">                <div class="topbar">                    <h2>Welcome!!

Step-8: Open ‘display.html’ file and write the code given below. Here, the user information stored in database are displayed.
<!--Store this code in 'display.html' file inside the 'templates' folder-->  <html lang="en">    <head>        <title>display</title>        <link rel="stylesheet" href="../static/style.css">    </head>    <body bgcolor="#e6ffee">        <div class="one">            <div class="two">                <h1>Side Bar</h1>                <ul>                    <li><a href="{{url_for('index')}}">Index</a></li>                    <li class="active"><a href="{{url_for('display')}}">Display</a></li>                    <li><a href="{{url_for('update')}}">Update</a></li>                    <li><a href="{{url_for('logout')}}">Log out</a></li>                </ul>             </div>            <div class="content" align="center">                <div class="topbar">                    <h2>Welcome!!
