Quote of the Day

About This Page

The Quote of the Day feature demonstrates how a Flask backend can deliver dynamic content to a modern front-end. Each time you click “Get New Quote”, the browser fetches data from a lightweight API endpoint powered by MariaDB, SQLAlchemy and Flask.

The backend route /api/quote selects a random record from the database quotes table and returns it as JSON. The front-end JavaScript dynamically updates this card without reloading the page.

This pattern demonstrates a clean separation between presentation and data logic—a common structure for scalable Flask + API-driven web applications.
