Request in Flask from a Form in HTML is returning None Value, What should I Do?












0















I am getting no value on request in flask. It is returning None value.



I have tried changing the method but no use.



The flask code:



@app.route("/login/user/book")
def searchbook():

bookname=request.form.get("search")

return render_template("message.html",heading=bookname ,message=" ")


The webpage:



{% extends "layout.html" %}

{% block heading %}Welcome to BookSarkar{% endblock %}

{% block body %}
<p>Welcome {{ name }}</p>

<form action="{{ url_for('searchbook') }}" method="get" class="form-group">
<div class="form-group">
<input type="text" name="search" class="form-control col-md-6 mt-5 mx-auto" placeholder="Search books">
<p style="text-align:center;">
<button type ="submit" class="btn btn-primary mt-2 mx-auto">Search</button>
</p>
</div>
</form>

<div class="fixed-top m-2">
<a class="btn btn-outline-primary" href="{{ url_for('logout') }}" role="button" style="float:right;">Log out</a>
</div>
{% endblock %}


The message webpage:



{% extends "layout.html" %}

{% block heading %}{{ heading }}{% endblock %}

{% block body %}

{{ message }}
<a class="btn btn-primary" href="{{ url_for('index') }}" role="button">Return to Home Page</a>

{% endblock %}


The layout page has no bugs as all other pages are working fine. I expected the webpage to show the given input but it is showing None

  • Put a breakpoint at return render_template("message.html",heading=bookname ,message=" ") in your flask code and inspect the value of bookname. Is it None or is it populated?

  • @PeterDannemann I am new to this and dont know how to debug, that is why i am using the return render_template("message.html",heading=bookname ,message=" ") to test whether it is None or populated

  • Ok just put ‘print(bookname)’ before that line. What does it print when you make a request?

request.form contains values submitted via post or put, while your form uses get. Try using request.args.get("search") instead of request.form.get("search")
