The view function of my toy app was:
@app.route('/', methods=['GET', 'POST'])
def index():
name = None
form = NameForm()
if form.validate_on_submit():
name = form.name.data
form.name.data = ''
return render_template('index.html', form=form, name=name)
And it looks like this when I use PRG:
@app.route('/', methods=['GET', 'POST'])
def index():
form = NameForm()
if form.validate_on_submit():
session['name'] = form.name.data
return redirect(url_for('index'))
return render_template('index.html', form=form, name=session.get('name'))
As you can see, the form.name.data = '' line is used to clear the input field in the first version, but it's not needed in the second version. I thought Flask-WTF would automatically pass the text in StringField into the new form instance, but for some reasons, it didn't.
My question is: Why form.name.data is no longer available between different requests when I use PRG?
It can't pass anything on a redirect, as it is a completely new request.
