Calling Python Functions In Html File In Flask

I have a list of folders in my python file, and in an HTML file I iterate over the list to display the names of each folder on my page. {% for folder in folders %}

<

Solution 1:

With the assumption that folder is something whose contents you'd want to return dynamically as its own page, the appropriate way to do this would be to have a separate route and view that handles folders. Something like the following:

@app.route("/folder/<folder_name>/")deffolder(folder_name):
    # do something with folder_namepass

And in your HTML you would link to it as follows:

<ahref="{% url_for('folder', folder_name=folder) %}">{{ folder }}</a>

Obviously you'd want to update the route accordingly, depending on the contents of folder, but that's the "Flask way" of linking to dynamic content.
