I am attempting to build a python flask web app with a tutorial and I am having trouble implementing my signUp method. Tutorial: http://code.tutsplus.com/tutorials/creating-a-web-app-from-scratch-using-python-flask-and-mysql--cms-22972
I get a 500 error when I hit the 'sign up' button: _name = Request.form['inputName'] TypeError: 'cached_property' object has no attribute 'getitem'
Not sure why I am receiving 500 error. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
Below is my python code:
from flask import Flask, render_template, json, Request
app = Flask(__name__)
@app.route('/main')
def main():
return render_template('index.html')
@app.route('/showSignUp')
def showSignUp():
return render_template('signup.html')
@app.route('/signUp',methods=['POST'])
def signUp():
_name = Request.form['inputName']
_email = Request.form['inputEmail']
_password = Request.form['inputPassword']
if _name and _email and _password:
return json.dumps({'html':'<span>All fields good !!</span>'})
else:
return json.dumps({'html:':'<span>Enter the required fields</span>'})
if __name__ == "__main__":
app.run(debug=True)
Here is the javascript ajax code:
$(function () {
$('#btnSignUp').click(function () {
$.ajax({
url: '/signUp',
data: $('form').serialize(),
type: 'POST',
success: function(response) {
console.log(response);
},
error: function(error) {
console.log(error);
}
});
});
});
Here is signup.html
