What is the easiest way to save a javascript object to GAE datastore (Python) through Jinja2? I tried looking in the Jinja2 documentation, but I couldn't find any relevant info. See below for my code and my commentary. I included an example below that shows where my confusion is. I want to store the javascript variable "Article" as JSON in GAE. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks!
Python
class Post(ndb.Model):
subject = ndb.StringProperty(required = True)
content = ndb.TextProperty(required = True)
quilljs = ndb.StringProperty(required = True)
class NewPost(PostHandler)
def post(self):
subject = self.request.get('subject')
content = self.request.get('content')
quilljs = self.request.get('quilljs')
if subject and content:
p = Post(parent = blog_key(), subject = subject, content = content, quilljs = quilljs)
p.put()
HTML
<form method="post">
<label>
<div>subject</div>
<input type="text" name="subject" value="{{subject}}">
</label>
<label>
<div>blog</div>
<textarea name="content">{{content}}</textarea>
</label>
<div id="quilljs">
script type="text/javascript">
var Article = "{{ json_data }}";
#THIS IS THE PART I HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO DO
</script>
</div>
<input type="submit"></input>
</form>
I ended up using AJAX to pass the JS object over as a JSON object (as well as the other HTML values). Although not the most eloquent solution, it works.
