Basic Flask WTForm

Read fields on server side

Report a typo

You have the following FlaskForm class:

class LoginForm(FlaskForm):
    name = StringField("NAME")
    password = PasswordField("PASSWORD")
    address = StringField("ADDRESS")
    dob = DateTimeField("BIRTHDAY")
    email = EmailField("EMAIL")

You want to read the values for the name and password fields on the server side for a POST request.

Write the correct code on the server side for reading the fields, using LoginForm.

Write a program in Python 3

from flask_wtf import FlaskForm

from wtforms import StringField, PasswordField, DateTimeField

from flask import Flask, request, jsonify

app = Flask(__name__)

app.config['WTF_CSRF_ENABLED'] = False

# Test data

TESTNAME = "Joe"

TESTPASSWORD = "Pwd"

TESTADDRESS = "Addr"

TESTBIRTHDAY = "2020-10-10"

# Form

class MyLoginForm(FlaskForm):

name = StringField("name")

password = PasswordField("password")

address = StringField("address")

birthday = StringField("birthday")

# Handler

@app.route('/post_form_data', methods=['GET', 'POST'])

def handle_form():

form = MyLoginForm()

username, password = None, None
