Tourist Attractions

Welcome to Tourist Attractions, a Flask-based web application that helps you organize your list of places to visit into three categories:

• 🌟 Recommended: Places you want to visit.
• 🗺️ Decided: Places you've decided to visit.
• ✔️ Visited: Places you've already been to.

With Tourist Attractions, you can easily move locations between categories, remove them, and add new ones as needed.

Project Files

This project consists of several files:

Static Files

• styles.css: Basic CSS files to give the application some style and improve the user interface.

Templates

• base.html: Template header file that the main template file will inherit from. It provides the structure for the web pages.
• locations.html: This template file displays the tourist attraction data. It inherits from base.html and contains the layout for the application's pages.

Data

• data.csv: Dummy data used to showcase the functionality of the application as we build it. You can replace this data with your own.

Modules

• locations.py: This module contains the Locations class, which our application uses to add, modify, and delete location data. The Locations class provides three methods: add(), moveup(), and delete() for these operations.

Flask Application

• app.py: The Flask application, which consists of three routes:
  • locations(): The main route that displays content associated with each category of location. It handles changing categories and location deletion.
  • add_location(): A form handling route that processes the add location form and redirects back to the locations() route.
  • index(): This route maps to the same path as locations() but without a category variable. It automatically redirects to the recommended page of the locations() route.

Forms

• forms.py: A module that defines the form used in the application.

Getting Started

Before you begin, feel free to explore each file to understand its role in the project. Familiarizing yourself with the project structure can help you follow along with the development process.
