Variables

Introduction

Flask allows us to pass any Python object to the template, which can then be referred to inside the template using Jinja syntax.

How does it work?

1. The object is provided as a named argument to the render_template() function.

return render_template("index.html", my_object = Object)

2. The value of this object is then fetched inside the template using {{}} syntax.

{{ my_object }}

📌 Note: Multiple parameters can be passed to the template using the method mentioned above.
