How to Pass Data into Flask Apps with Forms
Are you looking to create a form in your Flask application to collect data from users? In this guide, we will walk you through the process of setting up a form in HTML and passing data into your Flask app.
To get started, open your home.html file and add the following code:
<form action="your-url">
<label for="url">Website URL</label>
<input type="url" name="url" value="">
<label for="code">Short Name</label>
<input type="text" name="code" value="">
<input type="submit" value="Shorten">
</form>
after adding code your code will look like this :
and output screen will look like this:
In this form, we have three input fields: one for the full-length URL, one for the short name or code, and a submit button. The labels provide clarity for users when filling out the form.
Make sure to replace “your-url” with the appropriate URL where you want to submit the form data. When users enter the website URL and short name, they can click the “Shorten” button to submit the form.
By following these steps, you can easily create a form in your Flask application to collect data from users. This form can be used for various purposes, such as URL shortening or data submission.
