WSPython

Backend: Flask + MongoDB

Quick Start (Windows PowerShell)

1. Create/refresh virtual environment and install deps:

cd "C:\Users\alanx\OneDrive\Desktop\WSPython"
if (Test-Path .venv) { Remove-Item -Recurse -Force .venv }
py -3 -m venv .venv
.\.venv\Scripts\Activate.ps1
python -m pip install --upgrade pip
pip install -r requirements.txt

2. Optional: set your Mongo connection string (defaults to the sample in code):

$env:MONGO_URI = "your_mongodb_connection_uri"
$env:MONGO_DB = "oop"
$env:MONGO_COLLECTION = "Customers"

3. Run the backend:

python .\backend.py

• Serves on http://127.0.0.1:4010
• API: http://127.0.0.1:4010/api/items

Notes:

• The app runs with debug=True but use_reloader=False to avoid a Windows socket issue with the reloader on some Python/werkzeug versions. If you want hot reload, consider flask --app backend run --debug or trying another WSGI server.
