Introduction to the Template
This template provides a starting point for building a styled website using Flask, HTML, JavaScript, and Tailwind CSS. It includes a responsive header that adapts to both mobile and desktop views, and it leverages Tailwind and Flowbite for styling. This template is ideal for creating a visually appealing and functional web application.
Clicking Start with this Template
To get started with this template, click the "Start with this Template" button in the Lazy Builder interface.
Test
Press the "Test" button to begin the deployment of the app. The Lazy CLI will handle the deployment process.
Using the App
Once the app is deployed, you can access the web interface. The header will adapt based on the device's screen size: * On mobile devices, a menu button will appear. Clicking this button will toggle the visibility of the mobile menu. * On desktop devices, a navigation bar will be displayed with links to different sections of the website.
Integrating the App
If you need to integrate this app with other tools or services, follow these steps:
1. **Accessing the App**: After deployment, you will receive a dedicated server link through the Lazy CLI. Use this link to access the app. 2. **Embedding the App**: If you need to embed the app in another tool, use the provided server link. For example, you can embed the app in an iframe within another web application. 3. **API Integration**: If the app exposes any API endpoints, you will receive the API documentation link through the Lazy CLI. Use this documentation to understand how to interact with the API.
Sample Code for Embedding the App
<iframe src="YOUR_SERVER_LINK_HERE" width="100%" height="600px"></iframe>
#### Sample API Request and Response
If the app includes API endpoints, here is an example of how to make a request and what the response might look like:
`
GET /api/example-endpoint
{
"status": "success",
"data": {
"message": "Hello, world!"
}
}`
By following these steps, you can successfully deploy and integrate the template into your project. If you encounter any issues or need further assistance, refer to the Lazy documentation or reach out to the Lazy support team.
