Welcome to flask-requester!

Flask requester provides a clean way to retrieve data from a flask request. In most cases flask-requester completely replaces the need to use any of the following commands in your flask web application. eg:

• request.form
• requests.args
• requests.files

Getting Started!

1. Clone repo into your application
2. Import into your flask project from flask_requester import requester

Example Usage

simple-form.html

<form action="/" method="get">
	<input type="text" name="username" placeholder="Username">
	<input type="password" name="password" placeholder="Password">
	<div>
		<input type="checkbox" name="remember" checked>
		<label for="remember">Remember Me?</label>
	</div>
	<button type="submit">Submit</button>
</form>

In our flask route we can can use flask-requester like this:

@app.route('/', methods=['POST', 'GET'])  
def hello_world():  
    if request.method == 'GET':
	    # This will print all request data to the console.
	    print(requester.all())  
        return render_template('index.html')  
    else:  
        return redirect(url_for('hello_world'))
