render_template with multiple variables

Question

I am using Flask(as framework) and MongoDB(as database server). Right now, all i can do is just pass one argument that i got from the database:

@app.route('/im/', methods=['GET', 'POST']) def im_research(user=None):     error = None     if request.method == 'POST':         if request.form['user']:             user = mongo.db.Users.find_one_or_404({'ticker':request.form['user']})             return redirect(url_for('im_user',user= user) )         else:             flash('Enter a different user')             return redirect(url_for('im'))     if request.method == 'GET':        return render_template('im.html', user= None) 

How do i pass multiple variables from the database: eg: in my Mongo database: i have these things in my database and i would like to pass them all to my template.

{ users:'xxx' content:'xxx' timestamp:'xxx' } 

Is it possible to do that by using Flask?

Answer 1

You can pass multiple parameters to the view.

You can pass all your local variable

@app.route('/') def index():   content = """      teste    """   user = "Hero"   return render_template('index.html', **locals()) 

or just pass your data

def index() :     return render_template('index.html', obj = "object", data = "a223jsd" );

Answer 2

return render_template('im.html', user= None, content = xxx, timestamp = xxx) 

You can pass as many variables as you need. The api

excerpt:

flask.render_template(template_name_or_list, **context) Renders a template from the template folder with the given context.

Parameters: template_name_or_list – the name of the template to be rendered, or an iterable with template names the first one existing will be rendered context – the variables that should be available in the context of the template.
