Flask - Message Flashing


Flask Tip - Message Flashing

Flash messages are used to provide useful information to the user based on their actions with the app. The flash() method is used to create a flash message to be displayed in the next request.

👇

from flask import request, redirect, url_for, render_template, flash

@stocks_blueprint.route('/add_stock', methods=['GET', 'POST'])
def add_stock():
    if request.method == 'POST':
        # ... save the data ...

        flash(f"Added new stock ({stock_data.stock_symbol})!")  # <-- !!
        return redirect(url_for('stocks.list_stocks'))

    return render_template('stocks/add_stock.html')
