Trying to teach myself flask by making a web app. I'm having trouble posting inputs from the user to my dataBase and when I load the page and then try to submit info through my form I get this 405 error:
"GET / HTTP/1.1" 200 -,
"POST / HTTP/1.1" 405 -
Any insight would be greatly appreciated, Thanks.
Here is the python snippet:
session = DBSession()
app = Flask(__name__)
@app.route('/')
def index(methods=['GET','POST']):
print request.method
if request.method == 'POST':
instances = session.query(Vocab)
newItem = Vocab(id=len(instances), word=request.form['new_word'])
session.add(newItem)
session.commit()
instances = session.query(Vocab)
return render_template('vocab_template.html', instances = instances)
The html template:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Vocab</title>
</head>
<body>
<div>
<h1>Words!</h1>
<ul id='Words'>
{% for i in instances %}
<li>
{{i.word}}
</li>
{% endfor %}
</ul>
<form action="/" method="post">
<input type="text" name='new_word'>
<input type="submit" value="Add" name='submit'>
</form>
</div>
</body>
</html>you were very close
@app.route('/',methods=['GET','POST'])
def index():
print request.method
