Step 7: The Templates
|
|
|
|
|
=====================
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Now it is time to start working on the templates. As you may have
|
|
|
|
|
noticed, if you make requests with the app running, you will get
|
|
|
|
|
an exception that Flask cannot find the templates. The templates
|
|
|
|
|
are using `Jinja2`_ syntax and have autoescaping enabled by
|
|
|
|
|
default. This means that unless you mark a value in the code with
|
|
|
|
|
:class:`~flask.Markup` or with the ``|safe`` filter in the template,
|
|
|
|
|
Jinja2 will ensure that special characters such as ``<`` or ``>`` are
|
|
|
|
|
escaped with their XML equivalents.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
We are also using template inheritance which makes it possible to reuse
|
|
|
|
|
the layout of the website in all pages.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Put the following templates into the :file:`templates` folder:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. _Jinja2: http://jinja.pocoo.org/docs/templates

layout.html
|
|
|
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This template contains the HTML skeleton, the header and a link to log in
|
|
|
|
|
(or log out if the user was already logged in). It also displays the
|
|
|
|
|
flashed messages if there are any. The ``{% block body %}`` block can be
|
|
|
|
|
replaced by a block of the same name (``body``) in a child template.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The :class:`~flask.session` dict is available in the template as well and
|
|
|
|
|
you can use that to check if the user is logged in or not. Note that in
|
|
|
|
|
Jinja you can access missing attributes and items of objects / dicts which
|
|
|
|
|
makes the following code work, even if there is no ``'logged_in'`` key in
|
|
|
|
|
the session:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. sourcecode:: html+jinja
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<!doctype html>
|
|
|
|
|
<title>Flaskr</title>
|
|
|
|
|
<link rel=stylesheet type=text/css href="{{ url_for('static', filename='style.css') }}">
|
|
|
|
|
<div class=page>
|
|
|
|
|
<h1>Flaskr</h1>
|
|
|
|
|
<div class=metanav>
|
|
|
|
|
{% if not session.logged_in %}
|
|
|
|
|
<a href="{{ url_for('login') }}">log in</a>
|
|
|
|
|
{% else %}
|
|
|
|
|
<a href="{{ url_for('logout') }}">log out</a>
|
|
|
|
|
{% endif %}
|
|
|
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
|
{% for message in get_flashed_messages() %}
|
|
|
|
|
<div class=flash>{{ message }}</div>
|
|
|
|
|
{% endfor %}
|
|
|
|
|
{% block body %}{% endblock %}
|
|
|
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
show_entries.html
|
|
|
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This template extends the :file:`layout.html` template from above to display the
|
|
|
|
|
messages. Note that the ``for`` loop iterates over the messages we passed
|
|
|
|
|
in with the :func:`~flask.render_template` function. Notice that the form is
|
|
|
|
|
configured to submit to the `add_entry` view function and use ``POST`` as
|
|
|
|
|
HTTP method:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. sourcecode:: html+jinja
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
{% extends "layout.html" %}
|
|
|
|

{% block body %}
|
|
|

{% if session.logged_in %}
|
|
|
|

{% for entry in entries %}

<li><em>Unbelievable. No entries here so far</em></li>

login.html
|
|
|
|
|
----------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This is the login template, which basically just displays a form to allow
|
|
|
|
|
the user to login:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. sourcecode:: html+jinja
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
{% extends "layout.html" %}
|
|
|
|
|
{% block body %}
|
|
|
|
|
<h2>Login</h2>
|
|
|
|
|
{% if error %}<p class=error><strong>Error:</strong> {{ error }}{% endif %}
|
|
|
|
|
<form action="{{ url_for('login') }}" method=post>
|
|
|
|
|
<dl>
|
|
|
|
|
<dt>Username:
|
|
|
|
|
<dd><input type=text name=username>
|
|
|
|
|
<dt>Password:
|
|
|
|
|
<dd><input type=password name=password>
|
|
|
|
|
<dd><input type=submit value=Login>
|
|

</dl>
|
|
|

|
</form>
|
