To develop a voting app using Python, you can use Flask for the backend and FaunaDB for the database.
Here is a basic example of how you can create a voting app:
First, install the required packages:
$ pip install flask flask-cors faunadb
Then, create a new file app.py and add the following code:
Python
from flask import Flask, render_template, request, redirect, url_for
from flask_cors import CORS
import faunadb
app = Flask(__name__)
CORS(app)
client = faunadb.client.FaunaClient(secret=”your-secret-here”)
@app.route(“/”)
def index():
return redirect(url_for(“register”))
@app.route(“/register/”, methods=[“GET”, “POST”])
def register():
return render_template(“register.html”)
@app.route(“/dashboard/create-election/”, methods=[“GET”, “POST”])
@login_required
def create_election():
if request.method == “POST”:
title = request.form.get(“title”).strip()
voting_options = request.form.get(“voting-options”).strip()
options = {}
for i, option in enumerate(voting_options.split(“,”), 1):
options[f”option_{i}”] = {“option”: option.strip(), “votes”: 0}
election = client.query(
q.create(
q.collection(“elections”),
{
“title”: title,
“voting_options”: options,
“created_at”: faunadb.client.Now(),
},
)
)
return redirect(url_for(“view_elections”, election_id=election.ref.id()))
return render_template(“create-election.html”)
@app.route(“/dashboard/view-elections/<election_id>”)
@login_required
def view_elections(election_id):
election = client.query(q.get(q.ref(q.collection(“elections”), election_id)))
return render_template(“view-elections.html”, election=election)
if __name__ == “__main__”:
app.run(debug=True)
This code sets up the basic structure for a voting app. It includes routes for registering a user, creating an election, and viewing the results of an election.
The register.html template:
HTML
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Register</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Register</h1>
<form method=”POST”>
<label for=”username”>Username:</label>
<input type=”text” name=”username” required>
<br>
<label for=”password”>Password:</label>
<input type=”password” name=”password” required>
<br>
<button type=”submit”>Register</button>
</form>
</body>
</html>
The create-election.html template:
HTML
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Create Election</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Create Election</h1>
<form method=”POST”>
<label for=”title”>Title:</label>
<input type=”text” name=”title” required>
<br>
<label for=”voting-options”>Voting Options (comma-separated):</label>
<input type=”text” name=”voting-options” required>
<br>
<button type=”submit”>Create Election</button>
</form>
</body>
</html>
The view-elections.html template:
HTML
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<title>View Elections</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>{{ election.data.title }}</h1>
<ul>
{% for option, data in election.data.voting
