Answer 1

Example of a flask app using wsgi with JQuery, Ajax and json:

activecalls.py

from flask import Flask, jsonify

application = Flask(__name__, static_url_path='')

@application.route('/')
def activecalls():
    return application.send_static_file('activecalls/active_calls_map.html')

@application.route('/_getData', methods=['GET', 'POST'])
def getData():
    #hit the data, package it, put it into json.
    #ajax would have to hit this every so often to get latest data.
    arr = {}
    arr["blah"] = []
    arr["blah"].append("stuff");

    return jsonify(response=arr)


if __name__ == '__main__':
    application.run()

Javascript json, /static/activecalls/active_calls_map.html:

<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.1/jquery.min.js">
</script>

<script>
$.ajax({
    //url : "http://dev.consumerunited.com/wsgi/activecalls.py/_getData",
    url : "activecalls.py/_getData",
    type: "POST",
    data : formData,
    datatype : "jsonp",
    success: function(data, textStatus, jqXHR)
    {
        //data - response from server
         alert("'" + data.response.blah + "'");
    },
    error: function (jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown)
    {
         alert("error: " + errorThrown);

    }
});
</script>

When you run this. The alert box prints: "stuff".

Answer 2

Just for people reading on it now. You have to render the /registrazione first, befor you can access the form data. Just write.

@app.route("/registrazione")
    def render_registrazione() -> "html":
        return render_template("registrazione.html")

before you define def registration(). Sequence is key. You can't access data before the even are available. This is my understanding of the problem.

Answer 3

change name of method registration

@app.route('/registrazione', methods=['POST']) 
def registrazione(): 
    if request.method == 'POST':
       username= request.form.username.data
       return render_template('registration.html', username=username)
   else :
       return render_template('registration.html')

Answer 4

This is because you only allow POST requests when defining your route.

When you visit /registrazione in your browser, it will do a GET request first. Only once you submit the form your browser will do a POST. So for a self-submitting form like yours, you need to handle both.

Using

@app.route('/registrazione', methods=['GET', 'POST']) 

should work.
