How to get if checkbox is checked on flask

Question

I'm using Bootstrap with Flask Python.

 request.form.get("name")
 #name is the name of the form element(checkbox)

 <label class="btn btn-danger pzt active">
     <input type="checkbox" name="name" value="1" data-id="0"> Check
 </label>

When checkbox is checked, parent label has class "active", I want to get if checked box is checked. Is there any way or methods?

Answer 1

you can try the following:

HTML:

<div class="checkbox">
<label>
    <input type="checkbox" name="check" value="edit"> New entry
</label>
</div>

In flask:

 value = request.form.getlist('check') 

This will give you the value of the the checkbox. Here value will be a list.

value = [u'edit']

You can also get value of multiple checkboxes with same name attribute.
