Learn to integrate Flask, Firebase, and Open Trivia Database API to create and secure a dynamic web quiz application.
What you'll learn:
Understand Flask Basics: Learn the fundamental concepts of Flask, including routes, templates, and server setup.
Environment Setup: Configure the development environment for a Flask application using virtual environments.
Implement User Authentication: Set up user authentication and authorization using Firebase.
Secure Application with Environment Variables: Use environment variables to secure sensitive information like API keys
Handle User Sessions: Manage user sessions to keep track of logged-in users across multiple pages.
Flask Form Handling: Create and process web forms using Flask-WTF to handle user registrations and logins.
Data Validation with WTForms: Implement form validation to ensure that users input valid data.
Integrate Third-Party APIs: Fetch data from external APIs, specifically the Open Trivia Database API.
JSON Data Handling: Parse and manipulate JSON data received from external APIs.
Dynamic Template Generation: Use Jinja templates to dynamically generate HTML content based on backend data.
Bootstrap Integration: Incorporate Bootstrap for responsive design and to enhance the UI/UX of the application.
Database Management with Firebase: Utilize Firebase for storing and retrieving user data securely.
User Registration and Login Flows: Develop complete registration and login workflows, including error handling and user feedback.
Password Management: Implement secure password handling processes, including password reset functionality.
