Today, I worked on resolving several issues with my Solar Energy Project Dashboard, focusing on both the Flask backend and the React frontend. Initially, the Flask API wasn’t serving data properly due to issues with reading the sample CSV files. I identified and fixed errors related to file paths and adjusted the logic in app.py to handle missing or improperly formatted data more effectively. After making these changes, the /api/solar_forecast endpoint successfully returned the solar forecast data. I also addressed CORS issues by integrating Flask-CORS into the backend, allowing seamless communication between the Flask API and my React frontend.
On the React side, I fixed problems with rendering data in the Solar Forecast table and graph components. This involved updating the logic in SolarForecastTable.js and SolarForecastGraph.js to handle and display the data correctly. I also resolved warnings about improperly passed props in the table component and adjusted the graph logic to ensure it could process and visualize the forecast data accurately. By the end of the day, I successfully displayed the solar forecast data in both tabular and graphical formats on the dashboard, and the multiplier functionality is now working perfectly. Overall, I made significant progress, and the application is now functioning as intended.
