I'm dynamically generating a list of check boxes using values from a list as follows:
return flask.jsonify(result='\n'.join('<input type="checkbox" class="av-sources">%s<br>'% src for src in my_list))
The problem I am facing is, when trying to include a list item multiple times:
For Ex:
.join('<input type="checkbox" class="av-sources" value="%s">%s<br>'% src for src in my_list))
i know src is not referenced mulitple times, i dont have it in a tuple (item1, item2) so I get the following error:
TypeError: TypeError('not enough arguments for format string',) is not JSON serializable
I dont know how to reference the string twice when using % src for src in my_list)).
I have tried switching to value="{0}">{0}<br>.format(src for src in my_list))
but the code does not iterate through my list and only returns one object
< i n p u t t y p e = " c h e c k b o x " c l a s s = " a v - s o u r c e s " v a l u e = " < g e n e r a t o r o b j e c t < g e n e x p r
a t 0 x 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 3 1 E D 9 0 0 > " > < g e n e r a t o r o b j e c t < g e n e x p r > a t 0 x 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 3 1 E D 9 0 0 > < b r >
my function is here:
@app.route("/_srcs")
def source():
try:
source_txt = a JSON Blob
source_load = json.loads(source_txt)
sources = []
for i in source_load['sources']:
sources.append(i['name'])
return flask.jsonify(result='\n'.join('<input type="checkbox" class="av-sources" value="{0}">{0}<br>'.format(src for src in sources)))
except Exception as e:
print(e)
return flask.jsonify(error=e)
Here is my javascript:
$(function() {
var pythonsources = function(e) {
console.log('kibi sources');
$.getJSON($SCRIPT_ROOT + '/_srcs', {
}, function(data) {
$('#sources').html(data.result);
});
return false;
};
$('#menu-toggle2').bind('click', pythonsources );
});
If someone can point me in the right direction, thanks
