Accessing Flask Session Variables in Jinja Templates
In Flask, the
session
object can be read (in the same manner as a dictionary) to retrieve data unique to the session. It's conveniently available in Jinja templates as well.👇
from flask import render_template_string @app.route('/get_email') def get_email(): return render_template_string(""" {% if session['email'] %} <h1>Welcome {{ session['email'] }}!</h1> {% else %} <h1>Welcome! Please enter your email <a href="{{ url_for('set_email') }}">here.</a></h1> {% endif %} """)
