How to return raw HTML (using Flask)

Question

How can I make a Flask view publish just the raw HTML (unrendered) that was generated by app?

Answer 1

Try setting the mime type of the response to text/plain using make_response:

from flask import app, make_response, render_template

app = Flask(__name__)

@app.route('/')
def index():
    resp = make_response(render_template('template.html'))
    resp.mimetype = 'text/plain'
    return resp
