I am new to flask，and I try to use Flask-RESTful to make flask work in restful way. However, I cannot render the HTML, while I try to return render_template it returns the source code of the HTML， it is in this way Flask render template not working

I try the answer and it works，however I cannot input parameters like

render_template('index.html',titile="title","passwd"="123456")

It shows me SyntaxError: keyword can't be an expression. Can any one help me solve this problem?

You have quotation marks wrapped around your passwd, which is invalid syntax when using kwargs.

Just remove the "

render_template('index.html', titile="title", passwd="123456")

Flask-RESTful does not use render_template. It is designed to work with REST API calls and render JSON responses. Unless you are building a REST API, you don't need Flask-RESTful, just Flask.

To address your specific render_template() issue, I agree with Wondercricket.

  • I think you are right. At the beginning, I just use Flask-RESTful to make flask work in RESTFUL way, however, I cannot find the render method, but I try this way http://stackoverflow.com/questions/19315567/flask-render-template-not-working. It works, thanks! – poople Aug 29 '15 at 05:01
