Return render_template('results.html', results=results)įunction so it works with both post and get requests and told it to load our musicsearchform. Return render_template('index.html', search_results(search): Let’s rename our web application’s script from “test.py” to “main.py” and update it so it looks like this:įrom flask import flash, render_template, request, redirectįrom models import methods=) Now we are ready to update our main application. this allows us to filter our search to the artist, album, or publisher categories and enter a string to search for. in our subclass, we create a selection field (a combobox) and a string field. Here we just import the items we need from theĬlass. Select = selectfield('search for music:', choices=choices) create a python script called “forms.py” and save it to the “musicdb” folder with the following contents:įrom wtforms import form, stringfield, selectfield fortunately creating a search form with wtforms is really easy. When working with a database, you will want a way to search for items in it. Now before we update our web application code, let’s go ahead and create a search form for filtering our music database’s results. now create a file called “index.html” inside the “templates” folder and put the following contents in it:
create a folder called “templates” inside the “musicdb” folder. we should probably spruce that up a bit and use an actual html file. Originally when i started this series, all i was serving up on the index page of our web application was a string. This will install wtforms and flask-wtf (along with any dependencies) to your web app’s virtual environment. then run the following command using pip: installing flask-wtf is pretty easy just open up your terminal and activate the virtual environment we set up in our to install wtforms you will need to install i had heard good things about wtforms so i will be using that in this tutorial.
this article will take the time to teach you how to do the following:Ĭreate a form to add data to our database.Ĭreate some kind of view of what’s in the database.Īdding forms to flask is pretty easy too, once you figure out what extension to install. we also didn’t have a way to view anything, so, basically, we ended up having a pretty useless web application.
In our last article, we added a database to our flask web application but didn’t have a way to add anything to our database.
