We need to set up the foundational structure for a new FullStack project, using Python for the back-end and MongoDB for database integration. This issue will cover the initial setup of both front-end and back-end, along with environment configuration and version control.
Tasks:
Back-End Setup (Python & Flask):
• Initialize a Python project using Flask.
• Set up basic routes (e.g., /api/health-check) to verify server functionality.
• Install essential dependencies:
• Flask
• pymongo for MongoDB connection
• flask-cors for handling Cross-Origin Resource Sharing
• python-dotenv for managing environment variables
• Create a folder structure (e.g., app/, routes/, models/, config/).
• Set up a basic MongoDB connection using pymongo.
Front-End Setup (React.js):
• Initialize a React.js project using create-react-app.
• Set up basic components and routing (e.g., Home, About, and Error page).
• Install UI libraries.
• Create folder structure (e.g., components/, pages/, services/, assets/).
Database Integration (MongoDB):
• Set up a MongoDB instance.
• Define basic MongoDB connection logic using pymongo.
• Create a sample data model/schema in Python.
Environment Configuration:
• Configure python-dotenv to handle environment variables.
• Create a .env file to store sensitive information like the MongoDB connection string, API keys, etc.
• Add .gitignore to exclude sensitive files.
Deployment Setup:
• Plan deployment strategy.
• Set up a Dockerfile to create a containerized environment for the Python Flask app.
• Create a simple deployment guide in the README.md.
