/Flask_React_IOT

Full-stack template web application using Python-Flask, React.js/REDUX and sqlite3 database placeholder - Ideal starting point for data science/visualisation projects that integrate IoT devices, machine/deep learning and cloud/web based 'single-page' interfaces for responsive control & analysis.

flask/react - base project (boilerplate)

A full-stack web application (with integrated IoT communication) that uses Python-Flask on the backend (as an API) and React.js with Redux on the front end. This is a general application that can serve as boilerplate code, ready to be moulded into projects that serve a more specific purpose.

Template & Static directories are included in flask API for debugging and development purposes and can be ignored if the developer chooses to use react.js on the frontend as I have done here. The database is a placeholder and is only an example for CRUD and communications across the full stack. SocketIO examples work well with unix devices and has been implemented in current projects using Raspberry PI models 4B and PiZero in various use cases. Other IoT devices can be configured to communiate via TCP, HTTP or MQTT; examples of devices used in current AIPal projects are ESP8266, Arduino UNO, ESP32, NVIDIA Jetson Nano and many other specially designed PCBs & components/assemblies.
