Creating a file upload functionality and performing content checking using React and Python:

To create a file upload functionality and perform content checking using React and Python, you can follow these steps:

Create a React project and add the necessary components to handle the file upload and display the content.

npm install axios # We'll use axios for HTTP requests

Step 2. Implement the File Upload Component:

Create a new component for handling the file upload. For simplicity, we'll use a functional component with hooks.

  const [file, setFile] = useState(null);

        console.log(response.data); // Handle the server response here

        console.error('Error uploading file:', error);

      <button onClick={handleFileUpload}>Upload</button>

Create a Python server using Flask to handle the file upload and content checking.

Create a Python file (e.g., app.py) and implement the server.

from flask import Flask, request, jsonify

CORS(app)  # Allow Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) for the frontend

@app.route('/api/upload', methods=['POST'])

        return jsonify({'error': 'No file part'}), 400

    # Perform content checking here (you can check for specific keywords, content types, etc.)

    # For example, let's assume we're checking for the presence of the word 'secret' in the file content

    file_content = file.read().decode('utf-8')

        return jsonify({'message': 'File content contains sensitive information'}), 200

    return jsonify({'message': 'File uploaded successfully'}), 200

Start the frontend and backend separately in different terminal windows.

Backend (Ensure you are in the same directory as app.py):

Now, you should have a running React application with a file upload component. When you select a file and click the "Upload" button, it will send the file to the Python backend at /api/upload. The backend will then read the file's content and check for the presence of the word "secret." If the word is found, it will return a message indicating that the file contains sensitive information. Otherwise, it will return a success message. You can customize the content checking logic to suit your specific requirements.

In this scenario, we set up a file upload functionality and content checking using React and Python. We created a React frontend with a file upload component that allows users to select a file and send it to the Python backend. The backend, implemented using Flask, receives the file, reads its content, and performs content checking. As an example, we checked for the presence of the word "secret" in the file content. If the word was found, the backend returned a message indicating that the file contains sensitive information; otherwise, it returned a success message. This approach can be extended and customized to suit various content checking requirements for uploaded files in a React application.

File upload and content checking using React and Python, ensuring security and user-friendly functionality for uploaded files.
