Answer 1

From JS code, call (using GET method) the URL to your flask route, passing parameters as query args:

/list?freesearch=value1&limit_content=value2

Then in your function definition:

@app.route('/list')
def alist():
    freesearch = request.args.get('freesearch')
    limitcontent = request.args.get('limit_content')
    new = freesearch + limitcontent
    return render_template('list.html', title="Projects - "+page_name, new=new)

Alternatively, you could use path variables:

/list/value1/value2

and

@app.route('/list/<freesearch>/<limit_content>')
def alist():
    new = free_search + limit_content
    return render_template('list.html', title="Projects - "+page_name, new=new)
