The page you have is messy,i guess it's a tempalte you use.
Nothing wrong with that,but when learn this is has a lot stuff that is confusing,as this form is setup to use ajax-request.
Do you know how a basic form work in HTML?
To take out the form out of site and make it work
Pen.
You see that it work and i have put in
action="#" method="POST"
.
#
is just so that it work on CodePen.
action name is what you call function on server side Flask.
name="comment_content"
(<input>) get send when push
Submit
.
To show this setup in Flask.
The stander and best way for DB in Flask is to use
Flask-SQLAlchemy.
app.py:
from flask import Flask, render_template, jsonify, request
app = Flask(__name__)
@app.route('/')
def index():
return render_template("index.html")
@app.route('/my_form', methods=['POST'])
def my_form():
form_input = request.form['comment_content']
# Now that get value back to server can send it to a DB(use Flask-SQLAlchemy)
return(form_input)
if __name__ == '__main__':
app.run(debug=True)
index.html:
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Some title</title>
<link rel=stylesheet type=text/css href="{{ url_for('static', filename='css/style.css') }}" />
</head>
<body>
<div id="start">
<h1>Start page</h1>
<form action="{{ url_for('my_form') }}" method='POST'>
<div>
<textarea id="comment_content" name="comment_content"></textarea>
<span class="character-counter" ></span></div>
<div>
<button type="submit" class="btn waves-effect waves-light">GÖNDER</button>
</div>
</form>
</div>
</body>
</html>
