Most of the info I find online is for multiple checkboxes. I just want 1.
I have:
class CategoryForm(FlaskForm):
category = StringField('category',validators=[DataRequired()])
checkbox = BooleanField('Private?')
@app.route('/category/<categoryid>',methods=('GET','POST'))
def category(categoryid):
category = Category.query.get(categoryid)
if request.method == 'POST':
if request.form.get('category'):
category.name = request.form['category']
category.private = request.form['private']
db.session.add(category)
db.session.commit()
return redirect(url_for('index'))
c_form = CategoryForm()
c_form.category.data = category.name
return render_template('category.html',form =c_form,category=category)
And my 'category' template:
<form method="post">
{{ form.hidden_tag() }}
{{ form.checkbox }}
<button type="submit">Go!</button>
</form>
right now my browser renders this:
<peewee.BooleanField object at 0x105122ad0> Go!
Obviously I would like it to render the checkbox instead. How can I do this? Do I need a widget ?
