Goal for this part
Search tasks by title.
Treat 10-Search as the source of truth for this checkpoint. If your local tree drifted, re-clone that folder rather than mixing files from neighbors.
What you should already know
You do not need prior Flet experience for part 1. Later parts assume you finished the earlier snapshots on the same machine.
- You can open a terminal and run
python3 - You are comfortable editing a
.pyfile and saving it - You have a desktop session (not a headless SSH box without display forwarding)
Why Flet fits Listloom
Flet brings Flutter-style controls to Python. A task manager is a crisp CRUD UI with checkboxes and filters.
ListView plus form fields teach reactive page updates. Keep SQLite access in helper functions beside the page.
After you run the snapshot, you should recognize the behavior described in the goal—before you move on. If the window (or server) never appears, stop and fix the run steps.
Code shape
Snapshots stay small on purpose. Look for this kind of core call as you read the folder:
conn.execute("INSERT INTO tasks(title, done) VALUES (?, 0)", (title,))How to run it
Clone the teaching repo, open 10-Search, install what the README asks for, then run flet run app.py.
git clone https://github.com/michaeldunga1/fcc-flet-tasks.git
cd fcc-flet-tasks/10-Search
python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip install -r ../requirements.txt
flet run app.pyCommon mistakes
- Ignoring platform-specific install notes in the snapshot README
- Case-sensitive filters that surprise users
- Filtering the wrong collection (all rows vs current folder)
- Clearing the query box without restoring the full list
