  • CSS
  • Python

Database Details:

We used SQLite, version 3 for this project. The schema for the database can be found in the ./database/create_db.sql file.

Backend Server API:

The backend was implemented using Flask API. This API utilizes the REST API and transmits JSON objects at the backend.

Once the above requirements are met, install the required python dependencies -

  • flask
  • datetime
  • pytz
  • re
  • sqlite3

Database Instructions (For running a new instance of the database):

  1. Enter the correct directory -
cd database
  1. Create the database -
sqlite3 database.db
  1. Create the schema -
.read create_db.sql
  1. Populate the schema -
.read populate_db.sql
  1. Return -
.exit
cd ..

Account Setup (Initial):

After populating the database, you will need to login as an admin to activate other users (student, teacher). As an admin, you will be able to check the default inactive users provided in the settings page.
