Svelte - Flask Demo
This project demonstrates the use of Svelte with Flask as a back-end server. There will be a simple database using MySQL on the back-end from the Flask server and database tables will be modeled using SQLAlchemy.
The application will manage todo items. The user will be able to add, delete, and update existing todo items.
