I am facing a Flask error (Attribute error: init) - python-3.10

Question

I am new to flask and I am having some problems one of them being,
When I try to start running the below app on the server I get an error saying Attribute error: init
I have no clue what to do next even after a lot of googling.
from flask import *
from models import db, EmployeeModel
app = Flask(__name__)
app.config["SQLALCHEMY_DATABASE_URI"] = "sqlite:///theemp.db"
app.config["SQLALCHEMY_TRACK_MODIFICATIONS"] = False
db.init_app(app)
#Linking instance from Models and creating a DB file before the user accesses the server
#app.before_first_request
def create_table():
db.create_all()
#Create view
#app.route("/data/create", methods=["GET", "POST"])
def create():
if request.method == "GET":
return render_template("create.html")
if request.method == "POST":
employee_id = request.form["employee_id"]
name = request.form["name"]
age = request.form["age"]
position = request.form["position"]
employee = EmployeeModel(employee_id=employee_id, name=name, age=age, position=position)
db.session.add(employee)
db.commit()
return redirect(url_for("data"))
if __name__=="__main__":
app.run(debug=True)
Here is the exception I get.
