Flask is a small Web Framework written in Python. It is designed to be "simple" and "highly flexible" so that you can quickly create a website or API without using too complex code.

In the context of the Peemai Shop project you are working on, Flask serves as the following:

1. The main function of Flask (The Engineer)

Flask is like the "engine" of a website that manages the backend:

Routing (Routing): Please tell us that if the customer opens the page / list or if you go to the page / contact, display the contact information.

Template Rendering: Put the retrieved product data into an HTML file (which you composed with Bootstrap 5) to create a beautiful web page for customers to see.

Request Handling: Receive a request from the client's browser and send back a response

2.Flask's role in connecting Google Sheets

Compared to your work now, Flask is the "coordinator," sir:

Retrieve: Flask uses Library requests. Run to Google Apps Script to request product information in JSON format.

Processing: Flask Get JSON to unpack what products are available (using the resulting command .get ("data") we talked about earlier).

Forward: Flask sends that item list to the display screen.

3. Why is Flask suitable for your project?

Minimalism: You can start writing only a few lines in app.py the web and run. Unlike a big Django framework, it needs a lot of settings.

Control: You can easily write a Logic in Python, such as "If a product does not have an image, use a backup image."

Vercel Support: Flask fits very well with Deploy on Vercel, allowing you to open a free and stable online store.

📊 Overview summary

To compare the creation of the web to the opening of the Peemai Shop:

Google Sheets: is a stock warehouse (Database)

Google Apps Script: It's an employee who lifts goods and sends them (API)

Flask: The "store manager" who takes orders, organizes items into the showcase and takes care of all neatness.

HTML / Bootstrap: is the display case and store face that customers can see.

Simply put: Without Flask, the data in your Google Sheets is just a dry table of numbers.
