• Python3 - the programming language used to code the app
• Git - used to clone the source code from the Github repository
• A Github account - the invitation to the source code, will be sent on your account.
• Basic development tools (g++ compiler, python development libraries ..etc) used by Python to compile the app dependencies in your environment.

Check Python (using the terminal)

$ # Check Python version
$ python --version
Python 3.7.2 # <--- All good

Check GIT command tool (using the terminal)

$ # Check git
$ git --version
$ git version 2.10.1 # <--- All good

Project Structure

The boilerplate code is built with a modular structure that follows the recommended pattern used by many open-source projects. The most important files and directories are shown below:

< PROJECT ROOT >                             # application root folder
    |
    |--- app/__init__.py                     # application constructor  
    |--- app/base/                           # base blueprint
    |--- app/base/static/assets              # Img, CSS, Janascript files
    |--- app/base/templates                  # Jinja2 files (layouts, login pages)
    |                |---<errors>            # Dir - Error pages: 404, 500
    |                |---<login>             # Dir - Login and Registration pages
    |                |---<site_template>     # Dir - Components: footer, sidebar, header
    |
    |
    |--- app/home/                           # home blueprint
    |--- app/home/templates                  # Jinja2 files (Pages): index, icons, tables

What is Flask

Flask is a lightweight WSGI web application framework. It is designed to make getting started quick and easy, with the ability to scale up to complex applications. It began as a simple wrapper around Werkzeug and Jinja and has become one of the most popular Python web application frameworks.

What is dashboard

In information technology, a dashboard is a user interface that, somewhat resembling an automobile's dashboard, organizes and presents information in a way that is easy to read. However, a computer dashboard is more likely to be interactive than an automobile dashboard (unless it is also computer-based). To some extent, most graphical user interfaces (GUIs) resemble a dashboard - by Techtarget
