API Endpoint for Retrieving Leaderboard Data

[racheldennis]

Changes Made:

• Created a new route in the Flask app to handle GET requests for retrieving leaderboard data.
• Implemented logic to fetch and return a sorted list of users based on leaderboard criteria.
• Implemented pagination in the response to handle many users efficiently.

Details:

• Added a new route '/leaderboard' in app.py to handle GET requests for leaderboard data.
• Implemented sorting logic to retrieve users based on specific criteria (e.g., score) in app.py.
• Implemented pagination logic to efficiently handle large datasets in the response.
• Modified dashboard.html to display leaderboard data fetched from the API endpoint.
• Ensured the leaderboard was correctly displayed with pagination controls and relevant user information.

Testing:

• Having difficulty testing the dashboard.html to see if API is incorporated correctly due to difficulties with running Flask

Notes:

• Please review and provide feedback on the implementation of the new leaderboard API endpoint and its integration with the dashboard.
• Also, review if the pagination mechanism is working as expected and can efficiently handle a large number of users.
• Any suggestions for further improvements or enhancements are welcome.
• Shows there are other changes to files. This is only due to syncing files to my current repository.
