I'm just starting to learn Flask, and I am trying to create a form which will allow a POST method. Here's my method:
@app.route('/template', methods=['GET', 'POST'])
def template():
if request.method == 'POST':
return "Hello"
return render_template('index.html')
And my index.html:
<html>
<head>
<title> Title </title>
</head>
<body>
Enter Python to execute:
<form action="/" method="post">
<input type="text" name="expression" />
<input type="submit" value="Execute" />
</form>
</body>
</html>
Loading the form (rendering it when it receives GET) works fine. When I click on the submit button however, I get a POST 405 error Method Not Allowed. Why isn't it displayed Hello?
