Summary

In this chapter, we discussed in detail how you can fetch and display data in a React–Flask web application. We examined one of the ways fetching and displaying data is handled. You were able to work from the backend in defining the Speaker model class and implement various endpoints to handle data fetching from the database, and adding, updating, and deleting data on it.

We used the Axios library to send a request to the Flask backend, which then retrieved the data from a database and returned it to the frontend in a response. The React frontend then processed the response and displayed the data to the end user. Lastly, we implemented pagination as a way to present large datasets efficiently and to improve the performance of React–Flack web application projects.

Next, we are going to discuss authentication and authorization in a React–Flask application and examine the best practices to ensure that your application is secure and ready for production...
