[Flask] Passing dict instead of Context in render_template

[David Baumgold]

It would be simpler to use Python’s built-in argument list unpacking: https://docs.python.org/2/tutorial/controlflow.html#tut-unpacking-arguments

You can do something like this:

context = {‘foo’: 2, ‘baa’: 3}
return render_template(template, **context)

Hi Xan,

Did you try render_template(template, a=a)?

You can then access your dict values from the template like so: {{ a['foo'] }}

If 'foo' is a key that might not exist, you can use {{ a.get('foo', 'default result') }}. This will print 'default result' if foo doesn't exist.

Alejo

Hi,

I just want to know if I can do something like render_template(template, {'foo': 2, 'baa': 3}) instead of render_template(template, foo=2, baa=3). I want to pass a variable list of assignment. So I think that dict is the only solution.

If I have:

a = {'foo': 2, 'baa': 3, ...}

How can I do, render_template(template, a)? (a has variable value)


Thanks a lot,
Xan
