I would say the way to handle this is to make all submit controls/buttons have the same name and different value.
Then just act based on what value has been submitted.
Then just act based on what value has been submitted.
from flask import Flask, render_template, request, flash
app = Flask(__name__)
app.config['SECRET_KEY'] = ',9fB3L,,b&h~?^dy' # as the name suggest this should be a secret.
@app.route('/', methods=['POST', 'GET'])
def index():
return render_template('index.html')
@app.route('/new_page', methods=['POST', 'GET'])
def new_page():
actions = {'Add something': 'Adding something',
'List something': 'Listing something',
'Delete something': 'Deleting something'}
if request.method == 'POST':
flash(actions[request.form['my_btn']])
return render_template('new_page.html')
if __name__ == '__main__':
app.run()new_page.html:Output:<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>Title</title>
</head>
<body>
{% with messages = get_flashed_messages() %}
{% if messages %}
<ul class=flashes>
{% for message in messages %}
<li>{{ message }}</li>
{% endfor %}
</ul>
{% endif %}
{% endwith %}
this is the new page
