Flask-Views is a Flask extension which provides a set of class-based views, inspired by the Django class based views.
Currently this package contains a set of views for rendering (template and JSON) responses dispatched by HTTP request method, views for handling (WTForms) form submission and a collection of database views for creating and updating objects (currently MongoDB is supported by using Mongoengine).
Flask-Views can be installed by executing pip install flask-views. The
source is available at: http://github.com/brocaar/flask-views
from flask_views.edit import FormView
class ContactFormView(FormView):
# For creating forms classes, see the WTForms documentation
form_class = ContactForm
template_name = 'contact_form.html'
def form_valid(self, form):
# Do something with the submitted form data
return super(ContactFormView, self).form_valid(form)
def get_success_url(self):
return url_for('contact.form')
app.add_url_rule(
'/contact/',
view_func=ContactFormView.as_view('contact')
)
