I am trying to use a simple if statement in a jinja2 template as such:
testing.html :
{% if typeEntry %}
*insert code A here*
{% else %}
*insert code B here*
{% endif %}
testing.py:
@app.route('/')
def testing():
typeEntry = "new"
return render_template("testing.html")
Even though typeEntry variable is defined in my python code, code A is never shown only code B, I have no idea why.
CodePudding user response:
you need to pass all the variables you want to inject in the template in the render_template
function call, in your case:
@app.route('/')
def testing():
typeEntry = "new"
return render_template("testing.html", typeEntry=typeEntry)
CodePudding user response:
You need to pass the variable to render_template()
:
return render_template("testing.html", typeEntry=typeEntry)
