I'm trying to create a script in Flask and I came across the following situation:
I have in my code a for which scans the subdirectories of a root directory:
for root, dirs, files in os.walk(destination):
for name in dirs:
...
I need to put a checkbox list in my html layout with the names of the subdirectories respectively found
Example: mine has found 4 subdirectories (dir1, dir2, dir3, dir4). So in my layout I will have 4 checkboxes (dir1, dir2, dir3, dir4).
Can anyone help?
from flask import Flask
import os # os.walk()
app = Flask("checkboxes") # from flask
def checkboxes(directory):
all_names = ""
template = "{}: <input type=\"checkbox\" value=\"{}\"/><br>\n"
for root, dirs, files in os.walk(directory):
for name in dirs:
all_names += template.format(name) # name vai para {0}.
return all_names
@app.route("/")
def main():
return checkboxes(".") # retorna all_names para a página.
app.run()
The easiest way is to do this directly on Jinja2
{% for d in dirs %}
<input id="{{d}}" name="{{d}}" type="checkbox">
{% endfor %}
