I am creating a very simple dashboard for automating a task. Security is not a concern here because I am only local hosting.
JQuery Code
$.post("/approve", data={"title":title,"content":content}, success=function(){
window.location.reload(true)
});
Flask Code
@app.post('/approve')
def approve_topic():
args = request.args
print(args)
json.dump(args, open("topics/"+uuid4().hex+".json", "w"))
return {"status":"clear"}
Result (the JSON file)
{}
Expected Result
{"title":"whatever the title is", "content":"whatever the content is"}
Any idea why this is happening? The first time I ran this it worked just fine, but now no matter what I reset or what I do it won't work.
I just tested the code, it is working fine with request.form.
Flask Code:
from flask import Flask, request
app = Flask(__name__)
# you can ignore this function as you're doing request on same origin
@app.after_request
def allow_cors_origin(response):
"""Resolve CORS error"""
response.headers.add("Access-Control-Allow-Origin", "*")
response.headers.add("Access-Control-Allow-Methods", "GET,PUT,POST,DELETE,PATCH,OPTIONS")
return response
@app.route("/echo", methods=["POST"])
def echo():
data = request.form
print(data) # Output: ImmutableMultiDict([('a', '1')])
return data
app.run(debug=True)
jQuery Code:
$.post("http://localhost:5000/echo", {a: 1}, r=>console.log("response: ", r))
// Output: response: {a: '1'}
