How can I save a previous URL in Flask?












0














I am creating a book store and one of the functionalities is that once I am on a page, I would like to filter it more and only show 10 or 20 results per page.



<form action="{{ url_for('show_10') }}">
<div class="dropdown">
<button class="btn btn-secondary dropdown-toggle" type="button" id="dropdownMenu2" data-toggle="dropdown" aria-haspopup="true" aria-expanded="false">
Show Results
</button>
<div class="dropdown-menu" aria-labelledby="dropdownMenu2">
<button class="dropdown-item" value = "{{ request.path }}" type="button">Show 10 </button>
</div>
</div>
</form>


So what I want to do is if the current path is a certain route i.e. "/sort_by_rating", then it should go to a function that will only shows results as 10 per page for that search.



@app.route('/show_10', methods = ['GET', 'POST'])
def show_10():
page = request.args.get('page', 1, type=int)
print(request.data['name'])
if request.method == 'POST':
if "/sort_by_bestseller" in request.form:
books = Book.query.filter(Book.best_seller == True).paginate(page=page, per_page=10)
if "/sort_by_rating" in request.form:
books = Book.query.order_by(Book.rating).paginate(page=page, per_page=10)
if "/sort_by_date" in request.form:
books = Book.query.order_by(Book.date).paginate(page=page, per_page=10)
return render_template('search_by_author.html', books=books)


I am very new to web development. I am not sure if my logic is correct. However when I click on the button to show 10 results, it just stays on the current page and no changes happen. Any help is appreciated.

          • Yes, I fixed that issue however I am still getting the same results. When I click on the button, it does not move to another page.
