How to redirect while passing arguments with Python Flask?
To redirect while passing arguments with Python Flask, we can store values in a session.
For instance, we write
from flask import session, url_for
def do_baz():
messages = json.dumps({"main":"Condition failed on page baz"})
session['messages'] = messages
return redirect(url_for('.do_foo', messages=messages))
@app.route('/foo')
def do_foo():
messages = request.args['messages']
messages = session['messages']
return render_template("foo.html", messages=json.loads(messages))
to set session['messages'] to messages in the do_baz view with
session['messages'] = messages
and then do the redirect by calling redirect.
Then in the do_foo view, we get the value of
messages = session['messages']
