Flask REST API with MongoDB

This is a Flask application that provides a REST API for performing CRUD operations on a User resource. The User data is stored in a MongoDB database.

Requirements

Python 3.x
Flask
Flask-RESTful
PyMongo

Installation

Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/Binita72/Flask_Application_V2.git

Create and activate a virtual environment:

python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate

Install the required dependencies:
```
pip install -r requirements.txt
```
Start the Flask application:
```
python server.py
```
The application will run at http://localhost:80.

API Endpoints

The following REST API endpoints are available:

GET /users: Returns a list of all users.
POST /users: Creates a new user.
GET /users/<id>: Returns the user with the specified ID.
PUT /users/<id>: Updates the user with the specified ID.
DELETE /users/<id>: Deletes the user with the specified ID.

Usage

You can use an HTTP client like cURL or Postman to interact with the API endpoints. For example:

Retrieve all users:
```
curl http://localhost:80/users
```

Create a new user:

curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"name": "Indiana", "email": "Indi@example.com", "password": "secret"}' http://localhost:80/users

Retrieve a specific user:
```
curl http://localhost:80/users/<id>
```

Update a user:

curl -X PUT -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"name": "Updated Name", "email": "updated@example.com", "password": "newpassword"}' http://localhost:80/users/<id>

Delete a user:

curl -X DELETE http://localhost:80/users/<id>

Make sure to replace <id> with the actual ID of the user you want to interact with.

Configuration

The application connects to a local MongoDB database by default. If your MongoDB server is running on a different host or port, you can modify the connection URL in the code (MongoClient('mongodb://localhost:27017/')) to match your MongoDB server configuration.

Database Setup

By default, the application assumes that a MongoDB database named test2 is available. You can modify the database name in the code (db = client['users']) to match your desired database name.
