Hi Everyone!
I've been learning to code in my spare time, so still a bit of a noob.
I want to make a flask GUI for this console program I've written.
Nothing too fancy, just a vending machine. Enter 1 to buy chips, enter 2 to buy chocolate etc.
I thought I could just kind of bolt flask onto it :(
Basically I want a webpage where you click a button to choose a snack and Flask does code after that.
A quick overview of my console program:
Would I have to re-write the whole thing and make each button call the functions individually or can I still use main()?

A quick overview of my console program:
def Welcome(): # Displays a text console menu. # Press 1 for this item, press 2 for that item def User_Input(): # gets user console imput return user_selection def Process_Stock(user_selection, stock_level, payment_token, sales_total): # Checks the stock level for the item the user selected. # If the stock level (saved in stock_level list) is > 0 a message is displayed and stock count -1 # A payment_token is set to the user selection and passed to Payment() and Dispense() if in stock. def Payment(payment_token, stock_level, sales_total): # The payment_token is used to decide how much to charge. # If payment_token = 1, then ask for the price of item 1... def Dispense(payment_token): # Uses a switch to dispense whatever item payment_token is set to. def Main(stock_level, sales_total): user_selection = 0 # Variable holds the key the user pressed, 1-8, 0 if unused/error payment_token = 0 # Token is set to the key/item number of user selection (if in stock) and passed to payment function while(user_selection == 0): Welcome() user_selection = User_Input() # Process Stock # Check the stock level # Add one to the sales_total if in stock # reduce stock level by 1 # set payment_token to the key number. payment_token = Process_Stock(user_selection, stock_level, payment_token, sales_total) # If stock present, ask for payment # Payment_token is set to the item selection key number if there's stock. Payment(payment_token, stock_level, sales_total) # Dispense item Dispense(payment_token) return stock_level, sales_total if __name__ == '__main__': stock_level = {0: 0, 1: 5, 2: 5, 3: 5, 4: 5, 5: 5, 6: 5} # Selection number : items in stock sales_total = {0: 0, 1: 0, 2: 0, 3: 0, 4: 0, 5: 0, 6: 0} # Selection number : sales total for that item Main(stock_level, sales_total)Where do I start writing the flask routes, that call functions?
Would I have to re-write the whole thing and make each button call the functions individually or can I still use main()?
@app.route("/") def index(): return render_template('index.html') # Press Key 1 @app.route("/key_one", methods=['POST']) def button_1(): item = 'Chips - Cheese 50g' price = 1 return render_template('confirmation.html', title="Pressed Key 1!", item = item, price = price)
