Paginate json data in flask or jinja2
#1
I am using flask and generate tables that are filled with the JSON data that I retrieve. The problem that I have now is that I need to paginate through all the JSON data, because the maximum per page is set at '50'and I want to show all the products in my table.

So far I can't get this working and I don't really know how to get it working with Flask. I tried using a while loop, but that doesn't work with Jinja2 because that command is not recognized.

This is a part of my Python code:

 @app.route('/products',methods = ['POST', 'GET'])
    def products():
        shopnaam = request.form['shopname'] 
        username = request.form['username']
        password = request.form['password']
        login = 'https://'+shopnaam+'example.com'
        url = 'https://'+shopnaam+'.example.com/admin/products.json'
        
        payload = {
              'login[email]': username,
              'login[password]': password
              }
        
        with requests.Session() as session:
              post = session.post(login, data=payload)
              
              r = session.get(url)
              parsed = json.loads(r.text)
              
              
        return render_template('producten.html',parsed = parsed)
This is my Jinja2 code:

   <button class="collapsible">Bekijk product Informatie</button>
    <div class="content">
    <table id = "productentabel">
      <tr class = "header">
        <th>ID</th>
    	<th>Titel </th>
        <th>Prijs Exclusief BTW</th>
        <th>Prijs Inclusief BTW</th>
    	<th>Datum</th>
    	
    	{% for product in parsed['products'] %}
    	<TR>
    	<TD  width="100px" >{{product['id']}}</TD>
    	<TD  width="300px" >{{product['nl']['title']}}</TD>
    	<TD  width="150px">{{product['price_excl']}}</TD>
    	<TD  width="150px">{{product['price_incl']}}</TD>
    	<TD  width="300px">{{product['created_at']}}</TD>
    	</TR>
    	</tr>
    	{% endfor %}
    	</table>
    
    <input class = "exportknop" value="Exporteer product informatie" type="button" onclick="$('#productentabel').table2CSV({header:['ID','Titel','Prijs Exclusief BTW', 'Prijs Inclusief BTW', 'Datum']})">		
    </div>
As you can see I am using a for loop, this code works, but the pagination is the issue.

My JSON looks like this:

Output:
products: [ { article_code: "123", barcode: "456", brand_id: 2600822, created_at: "2018-05-31T15:15:34+02:00", data01: "", data02: "", data03: "", delivery_date_id: null, has_custom_fields: false, has_discounts: false, has_matrix: false, hits: 0, hs_code: null, id: 72660113, image_id: null, is_visible: false, price_excl: 33.0165, price_incl: 39.95, price_old_excl: 0, price_old_incl: 0, product_set_id: null, product_type_id: null, search_context: "123 456 789", shop_id: 252449, sku: "789", supplier_id: 555236, updated_at: "2018-05-31T15:15:34+02:00", variants_count: 1, visibility: "hidden", weight: 0, nl: { content: "", fulltitle: "Grid Lifter", slug: "grid-lifter", title: "Grid Lifter" } ], links: { first: ".json", last: ".json?page=70", prev: null, next: ".json?page=2", count: 3497, limit: 50, pages: 70 }
So 'links' is where the pagination happens, I tried the following in my Python code and with this I get all the values printed in my python terminal. The problem that I have now is that I need this to work with jinja2/flask and enable pagination in my generated table to fill it will all the necessary data.

  while url:
            with requests.Session() as session:
                post = session.post(login, data=payload)
                r = session.get(url)
                parsed = json.loads(r.text)
                for product in parsed['products']:
                    print(product['id'], product['nl']['title'])
                url = 'https://example/admin/products' + parsed['links']['next']

Do you have the "choice" to do the pagination with javascript? Passing the JSON for a js function?
I have a project running a large amount of data that I show using DataTable.
I've done some pagination with AJAX too, but I have to find where the code is to show you.
