How to run this project

Due to limitations in the code we need to create a user explicity from the flask shell

The following are the commands to add a user via the flask shell into the db but before we can do that we need to delete the migrations folder and app.db from the current repo

Commands after removing the migrations directory

flask db init
flask db migrate
flask db upgrade
flask shell

Next command is inside the shell

from app import models,db
user = models.User(username="demo",email="demo")
user.set_password("pass")
db.session.add(user)
db.session.commit()

After the above configurations we can run the project using:

flask run
