Example Use Cases for the Flask Application

This document provides example use cases and code snippets demonstrating how to effectively use the Flask application.

Example 1: Basic Usage

To run the Flask application, ensure you have installed the required dependencies listed in requirements.txt. You can start the application by executing the following command in your terminal:

python app.py

Once the server is running, you can access the application by navigating to http://localhost:5000 in your web browser.

Example 2: Serving Static Files

The application serves a static HTML file located in the static directory. You can customize the index.html file to change the content displayed when accessing the root route.

Customizing the HTML

1. Open static/index.html.
2. Modify the HTML content as needed.
3. Refresh your browser to see the changes.

Example 3: Adding New Routes

You can extend the application by adding new routes in app.py. For example, to create a new route that returns a simple message, you can add the following code:

@app.route("/hello")
def greet():
    return "Hello, World!"

After adding this route, you can access it by navigating to http://localhost:5000/hello.

Example 4: Using API Endpoints

If your application has API endpoints defined in api.md, you can interact with them using tools like curl or Postman. For example, to make a GET request to an API endpoint, you can use the following command:

curl http://localhost:5000/api/endpoint

Replace /api/endpoint with the actual endpoint you want to access.
