update the dropdown without using submit button

Time:11-02

Here is a flask application

Use this link to run the application : (Replace XXX with your machine url) http://XXX.0.0.1:5050/?tickers_get=Company2&open_price_get=23

What i am trying is, when the user selects Company2 from the dropdown, the other dropdown should get updated to only 2 prices (22 and 40) without hitting submit button. Then when the user clicks on Submit button, the table should be displayed according

app.py

I am not able to get the dynamic dropdown in the second filter

CodePudding user response:

In order to dynamically fill your second select box with data depending on the first, you need JavaScript.

In the following example, an event listener is registered for the first input field, which responds to events of type change. If the selection changes within this field, the required data is obtained asynchronously from a second endpoint and inserted into the second input field. The Fetch API is used for this, which receives the data in JSON format.

The ticker symbols will be sent in a comma separated string via GET request. This means that these are transferred as URL parameters, i.e. appended to the URL. With the query request.arg.get(...) the values are queried based on their name. The default is an empty list. In the lambda expression, the string is separated by commas and empty values are filtered out by a loop. You will get a list of ticker symbols.

symbols = request.args.get(
    'symbols',                                    # Name of parameter
    [],                                           # Default return value
    type=lambda x: [y for y in x.split(',') if y] # Split by ',' and filter empty strings
)

All rows whose "Symbol" column is contained in the list are then filtered out of the DataFrame. The "Open Price" column is extracted from these rows and any duplicates are prevented by a set.

open_prices = set(df[df['Symbol'].isin(symbols)]['Open Price'].tolist())

Finally, the received prices are returned as a list in JSON format, contained within a nested structure called "items".

return jsonify(items=list(open_prices))

When the form is finally sent, the data required for display is filtered from the DataFrame and passed to the template.

from flask import (
    Flask, 
    jsonify, 
    render_template, 
    request
)
import pandas as pd

df = pd.DataFrame(
    [
        ['Company1', 23, 10000],
        ['Company2', 22, 40000],
        ['Company2', 40, 40000], 
    ],
    columns=['Symbol','Open Price', 'Volume']
)

app = Flask(__name__)

@app.route('/', methods=['GET', 'POST'])
def index():
    symbols = set(df['Symbol'].tolist())
    open_prices = set(df['Open Price'].tolist())
    
    sel_symbols = symbols
    sel_open_prices = open_prices

    if request.method == 'POST':
        sel_symbols = request.form.getlist('symbols')
        sel_open_prices = request.form.getlist('open-prices', type=int)
        open_prices = set(df[df['Symbol'].isin(sel_symbols)]['Open Price'].tolist())
        
    data = df[df['Symbol'].isin(sel_symbols)][df['Open Price'].isin(sel_open_prices)]
    total_volumes = sum(data['Volume'])

    return render_template('index.html', **locals())

@app.route('/open-prices')
def open_prices(): 
    symbols = request.args.get('symbols', [], type=lambda x: [y for y in x.split(',') if y])
    open_prices = set(df[df['Symbol'].isin(symbols)]['Open Price'].tolist())
    return jsonify(items=list(open_prices))
