How do you view your database in Replit (Flask)

Question

I made a database on Replit. I'm using Flask and SQLAlchemy. I was wondering whether anyone knows how I can see my database (e.g. on the Console log) because I think I've added the same new user 2 times.

Answer 1

There is no GUI interface for Replit DB

Since Replit DB is treated similarly to a Python dictionary, you should be able to just print the database like so:

# importing database
from replit import db

# assigning some data so that it actually prints something out
db["hello"] = "hello, world!"

# printing the db
print(db)

The result should be the following:

>>> {"hello":"hello, world!"}

Therefore, you can directly use db when displaying database data.

Like so:

from flask import Flask
from replit import db

app = Flask(__name__)
db["my_num"] = 3

@app.route("/")
def index():
    return db
