Flask Blog Management Application

This is a Flask application that allows users to manage blog posts. The application uses custom-created data structures like LinkedList, Queue, Stack, HashTable, and a Binary Search Tree to organize and manipulate data. Users can create, retrieve, update, and delete both users and blog posts through various routes provided by the application.

Features

• Create users with their name, email, address, and phone number.
• Retrieve a list of all users in descending and ascending order of their IDs.
• Retrieve information about a specific user by their ID.
• Delete a user by their ID.
• Create blog posts associated with a user.
• Retrieve information about a specific blog post by its ID.
• Convert the bodies of blog posts into numeric values.
• Delete the last 10 blog posts.

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/Ihor-Pryyma/flask_blog_management_app.git
   cd flask_blog_management_app
   

2. Create and activate a virtual environment:

   python3 -m venv venv
   source venv/bin/activate
   

3. Install the required dependencies:

   pip install -r requirements.txt
   

4. Initialize the database:

   After setting up the virtual environment, you need to initialize the database. Open a Python shell or a script and run the following commands:

   from server import db
   db.create_all()

Run the Flask application:

python server.py

The application will start running on http://127.0.0.1:5000/.
