Trying to implement a user registration form on a website I can't make user input to be added as a new user to the database. I'm using Flask with Peewee, and have:
nUser ={
'email': request.form['e_mail'],
'uname': request.form['username'],
'pword': request.form['password'],
'time': strftime('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S')
}
nUser = User.create_or_get()
where nUser is temporary dict for new user. I should mention, that with the official peewee docs I tried nUser, created = User.create_or_get(nUser) what returned an error of too many arguments.
A code about User class is below (stored in separate .py, but there is from models import * up there):
class User(Model):
email=TextField()
uname=TextField(unique=True)
pword=TextField()
time=TextField()
class Meta:
database = db
Although it looks like it "works" from a webuser side, no record is added to the database. Previously I did it with User.select().where(User.uname...... and it worked, but now I would like to switch to create_or_get() method since it would shorten my code and looks more efficient. Logging in for old users works, so the connection and access to the DB is fine. I would appreciate any hints.
The official documentation that you link to show that create_or_get takes keyword arguments only. To pass a dict, you need to use the ** syntax:
User.create_or_get(**nuser)
