I have a flask and Python application where I have a Templates directory to hots an index.html that I render using
@app.route("/")
def home():
return render_template('index.html')
that works fine , but the web page index.html uses jquery to read a json file and for some reason it cannot read it in the FLASK webserver environment the json file is in a folder called ./curldata and the rendered html file is in a folder ./Templates at the same level
the error I get in developer tools ie:
jquery-3.5.0.js:10099 GET http://127.0.0.1:5000/curldata/views.json 404 (NOT FOUND)
send @ jquery-3.5.0.js:10099
ajax @ jquery-3.5.0.js:9682
jQuery.<computed> @ jquery-3.5.0.js:9836
getJSON @ jquery-3.5.0.js:9817
(anonymous) @ (index):6
(anonymous) @ (index):18
see index.html below:
<html>
<head>
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.5.0.js"></script>
<script>
(function() {
$.getJSON( "../curldata/views.json", function( data ) {
var items = [];
$.each( data, function( key, val ) {
items.push( "<li><a href='" + val + "'>" + val + "</a></li>" );
});
$( "<ul/>", {
"class": "my-new-list",
html: items.join( "" )
}).appendTo( "body" );
});
})();
</script>
</head>
<body>
BODY:</br>
