My POST sends the data of the RadioField that was chosen, but in Flask I only get 'None' for the form.display.data
. The GET works fine, and RadioFields are on the page, when I click 'Submit' the display variable is sent in POST with the correct choice.
How do I get the actual data for the POST?
views.py
class Items(SimpleFormView):
route_base = "/manage"
datamodel = SQLAInterface(TerminalA82)
message = "Please make a seslection"
form = List_Items()
myList = Controller.generate #<-- external function provides list
form.display.choices = myList
@expose('/manage', methods=['GET'])
@has_access
def this_form_get(self):
return self.render_template('list_items.html', param1='Items', form=self.form)
@expose('/manage', methods=['POST'])
@has_access
def this_form_post(self):
return self.render_template('blank.html', param1=str(self.form.display.data))
The POST renders 'None' on the page.
forms.py
class List_Items(Form):
display = RadioField('Items', choices=[], coerce=int)
list_items.html (Template)
{% extends "appbuilder/base.html" %}
{% block content %}
<h3>{{param1}}</h3>
<form method="post">
{{ form.display }}
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
{% endblock %}
myList content
>>> print myList
[('5', 'MyBAsic'), ('9', 'Cloudtest'), ('12', 'Test2'), ('15', 'NHLS-Test'), ('18', 'HSRC-Test')]
>>>
blank.html
{% extends "appbuilder/base.html" %}
{% block content %}
<p>{{param1}}</p>
{% endblock %}
Yes, if you see flask documentation then you need to access that piece of data as
request.form['Items']
not asform.display.data
.
