why we use if __name__== '__main__'

Times asked 1
Official solution

Simple
```
if __name__=='__main__' only when file run directly. Import pe nahi — app.run yahi. Remove import pe server start ho sakta.
```
Celery/tests import app without serving. Why used.
Flask Python micro web framework. Route decorator URL → function. MAD2 mein JSON API: request.get_json(), jsonify, JWT.
WSGI: server (Werkzeug) app ko call. if __name__ == '__main__' sirf direct run. Factory create_app() test/celery ke liye.
Blueprint/resources folders. @app.route vs MethodView. Debug=True viva local, prod nahi. CORS alag port Vue ke liye.
Project example: app.py bottom.

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.

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.
