about the login logic how it works how you implement security check up

Times asked 1
Official solution

SimpleLogin flow pehle poochta hai "tu kaun hai?", token milne ke baad har API pe wohi proof dikhate ho.
Authentication step: Vue form email + password JSON POST karta hai. Flask user dhoondhta hai, check_password_hash se prove karta hai ki tum genuine ho. Galat 401. Sahi pe JWT + role milta hai — yeh session/token hai.
Vue localStorage (ya cookie) mein token rakhta hai, dashboard pe router.push. Aage ki har fetch header: Authorization: Bearer <token>. @jwt_required identity check (authentication). @roles_required('admin') permission check (authorization) — logged in ho, lekin allowed nahi to 403.
Validation alag cheez hai: empty email, password 8+ — form sahi bhara hai ya nahi. Woh identity prove nahi karta.
Logout = client token delete + login page. Server blacklist optional. Password response JSON mein kabhi mat bhejo.
Example
```
# Authentication
@app.route('/api/login', methods=['POST'])
def login():
    u = User.query.filter_by(email=data['email']).first()
    if not u or not check_password_hash(u.password, data['password']):
        return jsonify(msg='bad'), 401
    return jsonify(token=create_access_token(u.id), role=u.role)

# baad ki APIs
# Authorization: Bearer <token>
if current_user.role != 'admin':
    abort(403)
```
Project example: Login.vue POST /api/login → token LS → interceptor. Student token se admin route = 403. Empty form = validation, galat password = 401.
Viva tipNetwork tab mein password body dikhega localhost pe — prod HTTPS. Response mein hash/password echo mat karo.
3
Ask me created a new entry in registration form for age and print output in the terminal

Times asked 1
Official solution

SimpleORM = Object Relational Mapping. Tables → Python classes. Raw SQL kam likhte ho.
Example
```
class User(db.Model):
    id = db.Column(db.Integer, primary_key=True)
    email = db.Column(db.String(120), unique=True)

User.query.get(5)  # SELECT ... WHERE id=5
```
4

Explain MVC and show how you implement it

Times asked 1

Official solution

SimpleMVC: Model=data (SQLAlchemy), View=Jinja HTML, Controller=Flask routes/business logic.
Flask loosely MVC follow karta hai — routes controllers, templates views, models.py models.
5
And some basic question related to route and models

Times asked 1
Official solution

Simplemodels.py = har table ki class: columns, PK/FK, relationships. Yeh Model layer hai.
Suggested flow1) Classes list karo
2) Har table ka kaam 1 line
3) Relationships (1-M / M-M)
4) Constraints (unique, nullable)
Example
```
class Lot(db.Model):
    id = db.Column(db.Integer, primary_key=True)
    name = db.Column(db.String(80), nullable=False)
    spots = db.relationship('Spot', backref='lot', lazy=True)
```

Times asked 1

Official solution

4
All http methods?

Times asked 1
Official solution

SimpleHTTP verbs REST ke tools. Methods HTTP ke hain, REST unhe convention se use karta hai.
GET read cacheable. POST create payload. PUT replace. PATCH patch. DELETE remove.
GET exists bina REST ke bhi — browser address bar.
HTTP verbs + status REST ki zabaan. GET read, POST create, PUT replace, PATCH partial, DELETE remove. GET typically no body.
Status: 200 OK, 201 created, 202 accepted (Celery task), 400 bad input, 401 no/bad token, 403 role nahi, 404 missing, 409 conflict (double book), 500 server.
AJAX/fetch page reload nahi. SPA poori isi pe. Postman se bina Vue ke API prove karo — examiner pasand.
Example
```
GET /api/venues
POST /api/venues
PUT /api/venues/1
DELETE /api/venues/1
```
Project example: resources.py methods list. Postman 4-5 calls.
Viva tipGET typically no body (cacheable). POST/PUT/PATCH haan payload. PUT idempotent, POST nahi.
5
Asked to explain some part of the code, like full student login route and how did I created search bar.

Times asked 1
Official solution

SimpleSearch: form/query param → ilike filter → results template.
Example
```
q = request.args.get('q', '').strip()
lots = Lot.query.filter(Lot.name.ilike(f'%{q}%')).all()
```

Advice: Know your code and mostly questions are from the sheet itself.

Example
```

```
2

App.py

Times asked 1

Official solution

SimpleRoutes/controllers URLs handle karte hain. app.py app banata hai, models.py data, templates/ views, static/ CSS-JS.
Typical structure:
app.py / __init__.py → Flask app, db.init, register blueprints
models.py → tables
routes.py / views → @app.route functions
templates/ → Jinja HTML
static/ → css, images
instance/*.db → SQLite
Ek route explain karne ka template:
1) URL + methods 2) Auth/role check 3) Form/query se data 4) Business rule (duplicate, slots) 5) db.session 6) render ya redirect
Example GET+POST same route: GET form, POST save.
Data HTML se: form name= → request.form. Data HTML ko: render_template(..., items=query).
Nayi .py file: import karke use karo, warna Flask ko pata nahi. Folder rename: imports/paths/templates check.

A jinja if else or loop

```

VCS (git)

Times asked 1

Official solution

SimpleVCS history track karta hai, Git ek distributed VCS hai.
VCS: kaun kab kya change kiya, rollback, branches. Example: Git, SVN.
Git distributed: har developer ke paas poori copy (commits) hoti hai. Central GitHub sirf remote hosting hai, lekin Git ka model distributed hai.
SVN centralized: bina server ke history nahi.
Commands: git status (kya dirty hai), git branch / git checkout -b feature (nayi branch), git rm --cached file (track band, file rahe).
Fayda: collaboration, backup, experiment branches, viva GitHub collaborator check.
Git ke bina bhi files rakh sakte ho, lekin history/merge nahi.

1. The proctor joined the session around 15 minutes late.

Times asked 1
Official solution

SimpleMAD1 mein usually session-based auth: login pe session['user_id'], har request pe verify.
Example
```
session['user_id'] = user.id
uid = session.get('user_id')
user = User.query.get(uid)
```
Viva tipSECRET_KEY set karo warna session insecure. logout pe session.clear().

4.When I was about to run my app.py, she stopped me and asked to first show app.py and models.py.

Times asked 1
Official solution

Simplemodels.py = har table ki class: columns, PK/FK, relationships. Yeh Model layer hai.
Suggested flow1) Classes list karo
2) Har table ka kaam 1 line
3) Relationships (1-M / M-M)
4) Constraints (unique, nullable)
Example
```
class Lot(db.Model):
    id = db.Column(db.Integer, primary_key=True)
    name = db.Column(db.String(80), nullable=False)
    spots = db.relationship('Spot', backref='lot', lazy=True)
```

5.She then asked questions about database relationships used in the project.

Times asked 1

Simpledb.relationship se object graph: lot.spots, booking.user. backref reverse side auto deta hai.
Example
```
spots = db.relationship('Spot', backref='lot', cascade='all, delete-orphan')

6.She gave a coding question: the database already has a User table with only a name field, and I had to explain how to add new data into it. She asked me to write the answer in a file named viva.txt.

Times asked 1

Official solution

SimpleLive coding: notepad/editor mein chhota Flask route / Jinja loop / model field. Calm raho, run karke dikhao.

    name = db.Column(db.String(80), nullable=False)
    spots = db.relationship('Spot', backref='lot', lazy=True)
```
9
10.She asked: if the Submit button triggers GET instead of POST, then where will the data be visible?

Times asked 1
Official solution

SimpleGET data read/show karta hai (idempotent). POST create/submit karta hai (form).
Example
```
@app.route('/login', methods=['GET', 'POST'])
def login():
    if request.method == 'POST':
        # validate + session
        ...
    return render_template('login.html')
```
10
11.Match the following question: redirect → /login, render_template → /login.html, url_for → login.

Times asked 1
Official solution

Simplerender_template Jinja HTML file ko data deke final HTML banata hai.
Example
```
return render_template('dashboard.html', user=user, lots=lots)
```
11
12.Another coding question (in viva.txt): write a route and HTML form where the user enters a name and on submit, the data is stored in the database.

Times asked 1
Official solution

SimpleLive Flask coding: chhota route likho, save, browser/curl se test. Syntax error terminal mein padho.
Example
```
@app.route('/ping')
def ping():
    return jsonify(ok=True)

@app.route('/even/<int:n>')
def even(n):
    return 'even' if n % 2 == 0 else 'odd'
```
