Library Portal

Simple Flask app with a MySQL database. This application is intended to serve as a Library Management System (LMS) for a local community library.

This repo includes:

1. A Flask app that serves the library backend.
2. A MySQL database for storing Books, Loans, Users etc.
3. An HTML form served at localhost:8000 that lets you perform operations like adding new books to the database.

Instructions

1. Build and run the services:

docker-compose up --build

2. Access the app by visiting http://localhost:8000.

3. Add a book via the form on the page. The book details will be inserted into the MySQL Books table.

This setup uses docker-compose to spin up the MySQL container and the Flask app. The db/init.sql script automatically sets up the Books table inside the MySQL container when it's first started.
