Flask variables not showing up in HTML - python

I have a small flask app I am using it to:
Make an HTML page with a leaflet map
Take user input from the HTML page...
Run calculations on that input using certain python modules
Return those variable to JS functions in the page to populate the map
I cannot get ANYTHING but lat and lng to return into my HTML {{}} flask variables.
Here is my HTML page:

Here is my Flask Python code:
from flask import Flask, render_template, request, flash, redirect, url_for,jsonify
from forms import RegistrationForm
import json
import osmnx as ox
import networkx as nx
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from networkx.readwrite import json_graph

import mplleaflet
app = Flask(__name__)
app.config.update(dict(

def my_form():
return render_template('map.html')
#app.route('/', methods=['GET', 'POST'])
def my_form_post():
lat = (request.form['lat'])
lng = (request.form['lng'])
lat = lat
lng = lng
point = (lat,lng)
G = ox.core.graph_from_point(point, distance = 500, network_type='walk')
fig, ax = ox.plot_graph(G)
GJ = mplleaflet.fig_to_geojson(fig=ax.figure)
#return lat, ",", lng
return render_template('map.html', lat1=lat, lng1=lng, GeJ=GJ, point="test_string")`
if __name__ == "__main__":
app.run(host='0.0.0.0',port=5000,debug=True)
The Flask app is working fine so the file structure is not a concern. I just cannot get any other variables to return into my HTML. I even tried making little string dummy variables other that the real ones. No Dice.
Thanks

You could try using the builtin none value http://jinja.pocoo.org/docs/templates/#none
Then do something like:
{% if lat1 is not none and lng1 is not none %}

It would help if you provided an example of what exactly happens when you pass all the values.
Otherwise, what according to me, could be causing the problem is that the 'Null' object in python is the singleton None. The best way to check things for "Noneness" is to use is not None or better still, something as simple as:
{%if lat%} {{lat}} {% endif %}
Also, can't you assign GeJ to the var GeJ within the div instead of putting a line of JS in an abrupt manner up there?
P.S. I wanted to add this as a comment, but don't have enough reputation. Apologies.

I'm trying to create a website for reserving tickets. I need to add as many passengers as needed using one single form. How is that possible?

`#views.route('/flight.html',methods = ['GET','POST'])
def flight():
if request.method == 'POST':
global no_of_passenger
no_of_passengers = request.form.get('no_of_passengers')`
In the above view, I'm getting the passenger count from an earlier html page which I'm using later. I need to get the input from the user as many times as the no_of_passengers.
`#views.route('/passengers.html',methods = ['GET','POST'])
def passenger():
if request.method == 'POST':
return render_template('passengers.html')
return render_template('passengers.html')
#views.route('/passengersinfo.html',methods = ['GET','POST'])
def passenger_information():
passengercount = no_of_passengers
passengercount = int(passengercount)
print(passengercount)
if request.method == 'POST':
for i in range(0,passengercount):
passenger_info = {}
passenger_info['passengername'] = request.form.get('Passenger_Name')
passenger_info['Street'] = request.form.get('Street')
passenger_info['City'] = request.form.get('City')
passenger_info['State'] = request.form.get('State')
passenger_info['ZipCode'] = request.form.get('ZipCode')
return redirect(url_for("views.passenger"))
return render_template('passengersinfo.html')`
In this view I'm trying to run the form as per the user input using a for loop.
The below attached code is the HTML form which is used to get the user form data.
`{% extends 'base.html'%}
{% block title %}Passenger Information Page{% endblock %}
{% block content %}
<form id="Form1" action = 'passengersinfo.html' method = 'POST'>
<div>
<label for ='Passenger_Name' >Passenger Name</label>
<input type = 'text' name = 'Passenger_Name' id='Passenger_Name' id="Form1">
<br>
<label for ='Street' >Street</label>
<input type = 'text' name = 'Street' id='Street' id="Form1">
<br>
<label for ='City' >City</label>
<input type = 'text' name = 'City' id='City' id="Form1">
<br>
<label for ='State' >State</label>
<input type = 'text' name = 'State' id='State' id="Form1">
<br>
<label for ='Zip' >Zip Code</label>
<input type = 'text' name = 'Zip' id='Zip' id="Form1">
</div>
<button type = 'submit' id="Form1" >Next</button>
</form>
{%endblock%}

An easy way to implement your requirements is to use Flask-WTF.
Using a FieldList and a FormField, it is possible to create a list of a predefined form.
In this way you create a form for your address details and, depending on the required number, you duplicate this. In addition, you can validate the entries made.
If you only want to display one nested form at a time, you can use JavaScript to navigate forward or back.
The following example uses the session to avoid using global variables and stay as close to your defaults as possible.
Flask
from flask import (
Flask,
redirect,
render_template,
request,
session,
url_for
)
from flask_wtf import FlaskForm, Form
from wtforms import (
FieldList,
FormField,
IntegerField,
StringField,
SubmitField
)
from wtforms.validators import (
InputRequired,
NumberRange
)
app = Flask(__name__)
app.secret_key = 'your secret here'
class PassengersForm(FlaskForm):
passenger_count = IntegerField('Ticket Count',
validators=[NumberRange(min=1)]
)
submit = SubmitField('Next')
class PassengerForm(Form):
name = StringField('Name',
validators=[InputRequired()]
)
street = StringField('Street/No')
city = StringField('City')
state = StringField('State')
zipcode = StringField('Zip')
class PassengerDetailsForm(FlaskForm):
passengers = FieldList(FormField(PassengerForm))
submit = SubmitField()
#app.route('/passengers', methods=['GET', 'POST'])
def passengers():
form = PassengersForm(request.form, data={'passenger_count': 1})
if form.validate_on_submit():
session['count'] = form.passenger_count.data
return redirect(url_for('.passengers_info'))
return render_template('passengers.html', **locals())
#app.route('/passengers-info', methods=['GET', 'POST'])
def passengers_info():
form = PassengerDetailsForm(request.form)
form.passengers.min_entries = max(1, int(session.get('count', 1)))
while len(form.passengers.entries) < form.passengers.min_entries:
form.passengers.append_entry()
if form.validate_on_submit():
for passenger in form.passengers.data:
print(passenger)
return redirect(url_for('.passengers'))
return render_template('passengers_info.html', **locals())

Fullcalender display events in Django

I am using full calendar in my in my Django project and I was wondering how I would get the model data to load as an event within the calendar. The issue is whenever I try to load the template into my code it loads up a white page with text in JSON format.
I was wondering if it was possible to get by this.
This is how my model looks like:
class CalenderEvent(models.Model):
event_name = models.CharField(max_length = 30)
start_date = models.DateTimeField(null=True,blank=True)
end_date = models.DateTimeField(null=True,blank=True)
event_description = models.TextField()
def __str__(self):
return self.event_name
This is how my view looks like:
def calender(request):
events = CalenderEvent.objects.all()
if request.method == 'GET':
form = ContactToAddEventForm()
event_arr = []
for i in events:
event_sub_arr = {}
event_sub_arr['title'] = i.event_name
start_date = datetime.datetime.strptime(str(i.start_date.date()), "%Y-%m-%d").strftime("%Y-%m-%d")
end_date = datetime.datetime.strptime(str(i.end_date.date()), "%Y-%m-%d").strftime("%Y-%m-%d")
event_sub_arr['start'] = start_date
event_sub_arr['end'] = end_date
event_arr.append(event_sub_arr)
return HttpResponse(json.dumps(event_arr))
context = {
"events" : events
}
return render(request, 'calender.htm', {'form': form}, context)
This is how my template looks like:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="{% static "fullcalender/daygrid/main.css" %}" >
<link rel="stylesheet" href="{% static "fullcalender/timegrid/main.css" %}" >
<link rel="stylesheet" href="{% static "fullcalender/core/main.css" %}" >

<script>
document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function() {
var calendarEl = document.getElementById('calendar');
var calendar = new FullCalendar.Calendar(calendarEl, {

{% for i in events %}
{

start: '{{ i.start_date|date:"Y-m-d" }}',
end: '{{ i.end_date|date:"Y-m-d" }}',
},
{% endfor %}
]
});
calendar.render();
});

def index(request):
posts = Post.objects.all()
return render(request, 'post/index.html', { 'posts': posts })
def like(request):
if request.method == 'GET':
post_id = request.GET['post_id']
likedpost = Post.objects.get(id = post_id )
m = Like.objects.filter( post=likedpost ).first()
m.counter +=1
m.save()
value1= int(m.counter)
#data1= {'cmd': 'success', 'ctr': str(m.counter) }
return HttpResponse(value1)
#return HttpResponse(json.dumps(data1))
else:
return HttpResponse("unsuccesful")
I keep getting the following errors:
1) GET http://localhost:8000/ajax/like/ 500 (Internal Server Error)
2) GET http://localhost:8000/favicon.ico 404 (Not Found)
Please help.
I believe:
id = $(this).attr("data-catid");
is not pointing to the button... maybe you should try:
id = $(".likebutton").attr("data-catid");

Flask: how to update div after processing form inputs

My Flask app does calculations based on user form inputs. These calculation take about 10 seconds to complete. The output of those calculations need to be displayed in a div on the same page, next to the form (in a chart / table etc).
I have tried two aproaches. The first, using normal just Flask, reloads the whole page, which is far from ideal. The second approach, using Sijax, updates just the div. But in this case, i don't know how to access the form inputs.
I'm confused how to get this working. Would appreciate any directions!
Approach 1: just flask (downside: whole page reloads)
form_test.html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>Testpage</title>
</head>
<body>
<form action="{{ url_for('do_the_math') }}" method="post">
A = <input type="number" name="input_A">
B = <input type="number" name="input_B">
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
<div id="destination_div">A + B = {{ result }}</div>
</body>
</html>
app_normal.py:
from flask import Flask, render_template, request
app = Flask(__name__)
#app.route("/")
def show_home():
return render_template("form_test.html", result='unknown yet')
#app.route("/do_the_math", methods=['POST'])
def do_the_math():
A = request.form.get('input_A')
B = request.form.get('input_B')
sum = float(A) + float(B)
# reloads whole page
return render_template("form_test.html", result=sum)
# what i want: reload just update destination_div with new HTML
# return render_template("#destination_div", "A + B = " + str(sum))
if __name__ == '__main__':
app.run(debug=True)
Approach 2: use Sijax (updates div, but how to access form inputs?)
form_test_sijax.html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>Testpage with sijax</title>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/static/js/sijax/sijax.js"></script>
<script src='http://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.3/jquery.min.js'></script>
</head>
<body>
<form method="post">
A = <input type="number" name="input_A">
B = <input type="number" name="input_B">
<button type="button" onclick="Sijax.request('submit_form');">calc</button>
</form>
<div id="destination_div">A + B = unknown</div>
</body>
</html>
app_sijax.py
from flask import Flask, render_template, g
import flask_sijax
import os
app = Flask(__name__)
# init sijax
app.config["SIJAX_STATIC_PATH"] = os.path.join('.', os.path.dirname(__file__), 'static/js/sijax/')
app.config["SIJAX_JSON_URI"] = '/static/js/sijax/json2.js'
flask_sijax.Sijax(app)
def submit_form_handler(obj_response):
A = 5 # how do get to the values entered in the form?
B = 3
sum = A + B
obj_response.html("#destination_div", "A + B = " + str(sum))
#flask_sijax.route(app, "/")
def show_home():
result = 'unknown'
if g.sijax.is_sijax_request:
g.sijax.register_callback('submit_form', submit_form_handler)
return g.sijax.process_request()
return render_template("form_test_sijax.html")
if __name__ == '__main__':
app.run(debug=True)
You can use ajax with jquery to dynamically update the page with the computed result without having to refresh the page:
In the html file:
<html>
<header>
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
</header>
<body>
<div class='wrapper'>
A = <input type="number" id="input_A">
B = <input type="number" id="input_B">
<button class='get_result'>Calculate</button>
<div class='result'></div>
</div>
</body>
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
$('.wrapper').on('click', '.get_result', function(){
var val1 = $("#input_A").val();
var val2 = $("#input_B").val();
$.ajax({
url: "/calculate_result",
type: "get",
data: {val1: val1, val2:val2},
success: function(response) {
$(".result").html('<p>'+response.result.toString()+'</p>');
},
});
});
});
</script>
</html>
Then, in the main app file, create the route to calculate the final result:
#app.route('/calculate_result')
def calculate_result():
a = int(flask.request.args.get('val1'))
b = int(flask.request.args.get('val2'))
return flask.jsonify({"result":a+b})
