I am struggling a dynamic form field, need guidance please.

In my Flask application I have 2 directories and 1 file.

directory1: templates

directory2: static

file: __ init __.py


My __ init __.py files content look like this (I know i have literally deleted all of my stupid request/get/post code so as not to confuse you and myself so that we can start from scratch.

from flask import Flask, render_template
app = Flask(__name__)

@app.route('/')
def indexPage():
return render_template('index.html')


if __name__ == "__main__":
app.run()


This is something i will add later to the page (but just wanted to let you know my intentions..


@app.route('/resultsPage')
def futurefunc():
#api call using string html from form field
#return results from api call
#pass those results onto another html page.


I have an index.html file in the templates directory. A css and a js file in the static directory.

The link below shows what my index.html page looks like and the HTML form code, JS and CSS code that supports it.

Link: http://codepen.io/hecalu/pen/EVQvmv

Overall it is a simple page with a search bar. But, for the life of me, and believe me, I have been trying for ages... to create a post request that takes information from the index pages form field and passes it into a python script (which I am planning to add later). This simple task has been so complicated for me because I have very limited basic knoweldge of JS, CSS and HTML. I hope that someone knows how i can pass a string from this specific form field as mentioned/shown in the link to a backend python script. In the future I hope to run an api call from the string entered and return the api results on a new page. Please, help me out, I am in dire need. Thank you!

Should I go for Django?

Hey everyone, I am in 2nd Year of My bachelor's degree in Computer Science. I have been using Flask for the past 1 year. Many people have told me that there is no future of Flask. I know that Django is feature rich whereas Flask provides a minimalist approach where you only install what you need. But the problem arises is that I am concerned about my skills in the long run. Is Flask used at the production level? My goal is to crack Big Tech company. Is it really worth the hassle to move towards Django or should I move with Flask?

I hope to hear from the community.
