Im very new to flask and im trying to convert a python tkinter gui app to web. As you can understand i have all the functions made so it would be great if a could call them and pass variables with a single click of a button.
for example:
get_sub_menu is a list generated by a query to the db where it stores [('1','name1'),('2','name2'),('3','name3')]
mod[0] = id
mod[1] = name
html file:
<html><head></head><body>
{% for mod in get_sub_menu %}
<button type="submit">{{ mod[1] }}</button>
{% endfor %}
<!--
when i click in one button he should submit the id(mod[0]) and call function(myid) where myid would be the id submited
when the button is clicked in order to generate the second list of buttons.
-->
{% for item in function(mod[0]) %}
<button type="submit">{{ item[1] }}</button> #function(mod[0])
{% endfor %}
</body><html>py file:
def function(myid):
select * from table where id=myid
res = cursor.fetchall()
return res should i do this with request or args? can anyone help me with bouth questions in order for me to learn and understand why one is better than the other?
