This is my flask app
from flask import Flask, render_template, request, jsonify
from flask_cors import CORS
app = Flask(__name__)
CORS(app)
@app.route("/")
def hello():
return render_template('index.html')
@app.route('/process', methods=['POST'])
def process():
data = request.get_json() # retrieve the data sent from JavaScript
print("data")
# process the data using Python code
result = data['value'] * 2
return jsonify(result=result) # return the result to JavaScript
if __name__ == '__main__':
app.run(debug=False)
This is my js code, originally I was using jquery, but it wasnt working with cors so I switched to using XMLHttpRequest as suggested by another post, which fixed the cors error but now i have a 400 bad request error
function submit_clicked() {
var info = document.getElementsByClassName("info")
var title = document.getElementById("title").innerText
console.log(title);
if (title == "Create User Account") {
const data = {
"Firstname" : info[0].value,
"Lastname" : info[1].value,
"Username" : info[2].value,
"Email" : info[3].value,
"Password" : info[4].value,
"Retype_Password" : info[5].value
}
sendData(data)
}
}
function sendData(data) {
const xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
xhr.open("POST", "http://127.0.0.1:5000/process"),
xhr.send(JSON.stringify({ 'value': "value" })),
xhr.onreadystatechange = function() {
if (xhr.readyState === 4 && xhr.status >= 400) {
console.log(xhr.response)
} else {
//success
}
}
}
This is the error I get in the console of chrome when I try debug
I was trying to send the details stored in the var data to the flask app
