I want to make a website where people on the site can see an always updating list, but when I try it, the list only updates when they reload the page.
My code is this...
main.py
from flask import Flask, render_template, url_for, request
import time
import threading
list = []
app = Flask('app')
def back():
while True:
list.append('thing')
time.sleep(1)
back = threading.Thread(name='background', target=back)
back.start()
@app.route('/', methods=["GET", 'POST'])
def hometest():
return render_template('index.html', list=list)
app.run(host='0.0.0.0', port=8080)
index.html
<!Doctype html>
<title>list viewer</title>
<h2>This is the list</h2>
{{ list }}
any idea how I can do this? Thank you!
