How to get HTML Input using Python Flask
Change your form method from GET to POST, as your route only specifies "POST", and will not accept any other requests of a different type:
<form method="POST">Edit: if you wish to specify both methods, ensure that your route checks for the correct type of request currently being sent when the route is triggered:
@app.route('/', methods=['POST','GET'])def form_post(): if flask.request.method == 'POST' userEmail = request.form['userEmail'] userPassword = request.form['userPassword'] return userEmail, userPassword return flask.render_template('something.html')Note, however, that you are creating your form on the home route ('/'). It may be best to return a link to the page that has the form code:
@app.route('/')def home(): return 'Welcome! <a href="/login">login here</a>'@app.route('/login', methods=['GET', 'POST']): if flask.request.method == 'POST' userEmail = request.form['userEmail'] userPassword = request.form['userPassword'] return flask.redirect('/') return flask.render_template('form_filename.html')
