Social Media Dashboard

—

by

This application will simulate fetching and displaying user data from a social media platform. We’ll use Flask to serve the web pages.

Step 1: Set Up the Project Structure

Create a new directory for your project and create the following files and folders:

arduinoCopy codesocial_media_dashboard/
│
├── app.py
├── templates/
│   └── dashboard.html
└── static/
    └── styles.css

Step 2: Create the Flask Application

Create a file named app.py and add the following code:

pythonCopy codefrom flask import Flask, render_template

app = Flask(__name__)

# Sample data representing social media stats
user_data = {
    "username": "john_doe",
    "followers": 1200,
    "following": 300,
    "posts": 50,
    "likes": 2500,
}

@app.route('/')
def dashboard():
    return render_template('dashboard.html', user=user_data)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    app.run(debug=True)

Step 3: Create the HTML Template

Create a file named dashboard.html inside the templates folder and add the following code:

htmlCopy code<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
    <title>Social Media Dashboard</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="{{ url_for('static', filename='styles.css') }}">
</head>
<body>
    <div class="container">
        <h1>Social Media Dashboard</h1>
        <h2>User: {{ user.username }}</h2>
        <div class="stats">
            <div class="stat">
                <h3>Followers</h3>
                <p>{{ user.followers }}</p>
            </div>
            <div class="stat">
                <h3>Following</h3>
                <p>{{ user.following }}</p>
            </div>
            <div class="stat">
                <h3>Posts</h3>
                <p>{{ user.posts }}</p>
            </div>
            <div class="stat">
                <h3>Likes</h3>
                <p>{{ user.likes }}</p>
            </div>
        </div>
    </div>
</body>
</html>

Step 4: Create the CSS Styles

Create a file named styles.css inside the static folder and add the following code:

cssCopy codebody {
    font-family: Arial, sans-serif;
    background-color: #f4f4f4;
    margin: 0;
    padding: 20px;
}

.container {
    max-width: 600px;
    margin: auto;
    background: white;
    padding: 20px;
    border-radius: 5px;
    box-shadow: 0 2px 10px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1);
}

h1 {
    text-align: center;
}

.stats {
    display: flex;
    justify-content: space-between;
    margin-top: 20px;
}

.stat {
    background: #e2e2e2;
    border-radius: 5px;
    padding: 10px;
    text-align: center;
    flex: 1;
    margin: 5px;
}

Step 5: Run the Application

Open your terminal (or command prompt).
Navigate to the directory where you saved the project.
Run the application using the command:bashCopy codepython app.py
Open your web browser and go to http://127.0.0.1:5000/.
