I'm currently trying to put together a little Flask + React project. I have had some difficulty getting the js file (which contains the react code) to run at all in the project.
This is my project structure, standard for flask:
The route is defined in the routes.py file in the project root
from flask import Flask, render_template, request
app = Flask(__name__)
@app.route("/qubits")
def qubits():
return render_template('qubits.html')
# http://localhost:5000/qubits
if __name__ == "__main__":
app.run(debug=True)
I have my simple html file, which is linking properly to my css (im able to pull in css elements fine).
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<title>nstem</title>
<link rel= "stylesheet" href= "{{ url_for('static',filename='css/nstem.css') }}">
</head>
<body>
<div class="indexBox1"></div>
<h1>: )</h1>
<script type="text/javascript"
src="{{ url_for('static', filename='js/index.js') }}"></script>
</div>
</body>
</html>
However, nothing is being returned on the webpage from these two js files:
*index.js*
import React from 'react';
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom';
import './nstem.css';
import Qubit from './qubits';
ReactDOM.render(
<Qubit />,
document.getElementById('root')
);
* function file *
import React from 'react';
import ReactDOM from 'react';
function Qubit() {
const section = 'lists';
return (
<div>Allah'u'abha</div>
);
}
export default Qubit;
Im pretty stumped; ive played with this so much today and cant figure out where the gap is. Please help, and thanks so much.
