Im following a flask tutorial from youtube, and I noticed when I run my code, my web application outputs nothing. This only happens when I'm trying to use HTML though.
Below is the code:
from flask import Flask, render_template, url_for
app = Flask(__name__)
posts = [
{
'author': 'Devo Developerr',
'title': 'Blog Post 1',
'content': 'First post content',
'date_posted': 'October 23, 2020'
},
{
'author': 'Jane Doe',
'title': 'Blog Post 2',
'content': 'Second post content',
'date_posted': 'April 21, 2020'
}
]
@app.route("/")
@app.route("/home")
def home():
return render_template('home.html', posts=posts)
@app.route("/about")
def about():
return render_template('about.html', title='About')
if __name__ == '__main__':
app.run(debug=True)
This is my main flask file.
This is my HTML file, home.html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
{% for post in posts %}
<h1>{{ post.title }}</h1>
<p>By {{ post.author }} on {{ post.fate_posted }}</p>
<p>{{ post.content }}</p>
{% end for %}
</body>
</html>
What the aimed output is:

In your Flask project directory create the templates directory and move your templates there.
mkdir templates
mv *.html templates
Flask loads templates from this directory by default, you shouldn't need to configure anything else.
