what to name a js folder for flask code example
Example 1: flask make static directory
from flask import Flask, send_from_directory
app = Flask(__name__)
@app.route("/static/<path:path>")
def static_dir(path):
return send_from_directory("static", path)
if __name__ == "__main__":
app.run()
Example 2: how to send image to template thats not in static flask
from config import directory_to_image_folder
#first create the route
@app.route('/uploads/<path:filename>')
def download_file(filename):
return send_from_directory(directory_to_image_folder, filename, as_attachment=True)
#add this to the template inside of an image tag
<img width="100%" height="100%" src="{{ url_for('download_file', filename='name_of_image.extension') }}">
