Python Backend with Next.js Frontend

Description

This project is a full-stack application featuring a Python backend for robust server-side operations and authentication, coupled with a Next.js frontend for a powerful and responsive user interface. The backend handles authentication and API requests, while the frontend provides a seamless user experience.

Table of Contents

Features

  • Secure authentication system
  • RESTful API endpoints
  • Server-side rendering with Next.js
  • Responsive UI design
  • (Add any other specific features of your project)

Technologies

  • Backend:

    • Python 3.x
    • Flask (or Django, FastAPI - specify your choice)
    • JWT for authentication
    • (Any other backend libraries/frameworks you're using)

  • Frontend:

    • Next.js
    • React
    • (Any other frontend libraries you're using, e.g., Axios, SWR)

Installation

  1. Clone the repository:

    git clone https://github.com/yourusername/your-repo-name.git
cd your-repo-name

  2. Set up the backend:

    cd backend
python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate  # On Windows use `venv\Scripts\activate`
pip install -r requirements.txt

  3. Set up the frontend:

    cd ../frontend
npm install

  4. Set up environment variables:

    • Create a .env file in the backend directory
    • Create a .env.local file in the frontend directory (Provide any necessary environment variables)

Usage

  1. Start the backend server:

    cd backend
python app.py  # Or however you start your Python server

  2. In a new terminal, start the frontend development server:

    cd frontend
npm run dev

  3. Open your browser and navigate to http://localhost:3000

API Endpoints

Document your API endpoints here. For example:

  • POST /api/auth/login: Login endpoint
  • GET /api/users: Fetch users (requires authentication)
  • (Add other endpoints as necessary)

Authentication

This project uses JWT (JSON Web Tokens) for authentication. The flow is as follows:

  1. User logs in through the frontend.
  2. Backend validates credentials and returns a JWT.
  3. Frontend stores the JWT (preferably in an HTTP-only cookie).
  4. JWT is sent with subsequent requests to authenticate.

(Add any other relevant details about your authentication system)
