Generally, Flask is actually not an MVC framework. It is a minimalistic framework which gives you a lot of freedom in how you structure your application, but MVC pattern is a very good fit for what Flask provides.

This is how MVC app looks like , here flask_api is my app name , you can name it whatever you want , static folder contains our css files inside a css folder and images in images folder. Templates folder contains our html files whereas manage.py file contain host number to run app on particular local ip.

requirement.text file conatins packages information for installation.
