How to send data from HTML form to a Python script in Flask?
To send data from HTML form to a Python script in Flask, we can use the request.form dictionary to get the data.
For instance, w ewrite
from flask import request
@app.route('/add_region', methods=['POST'])
def add_region():
#...
return (request.form['file_path'])
to get the form data with the request.form dict.
And then we create our form with
<form action="{{ url_for('add_region') }}" method="post">
Project file path: <input type="text" name="file_path"><br>
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
in our template.
request.form['file_path'] has the value of the input with name attribute set to file_path in our form.
action is {{ url_for('add_region') }} which is the URL to the add_region endpoint.
