I am a noob to this topic and this is my first question here. I want to ask if it is possible to upload a changing variable from python to an HTML textbox/paragraph/forms? I've seen several methods but can't figure out a one which work. I'm using Python 3.4 on my raspberry PI 2 from which I will be also hosting a web server using flask. I would preferabbly use flask too for this task too but anyways if it's not possible I can use any other methods as soon as they are easier.
Thanks in Advance !
The question is quite confusing though, but from what i understood you can do it like this
in python file:
from flask import Flask,render_template
app = Flask(__name__)
@app.route('/')
def index():
name='stackoverflow'
return render_template('index.html', name=name)
and in index.html file:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<script>
var name = {{ name|safe }}
</script>
<h2> this is passed from python {{ name }} </h2>
</html>
NOTE: When you use render_template(), the HTML file you mention inside should be in ./templates/ in our case it should be ./templates/index.html
