Flask-Views

Flask-Views is a Flask extension which provides a set of class-based views, inspired by the Django class based views.

Currently this package contains a set of views for rendering (template and JSON) responses dispatched by HTTP request method, views for handling (WTForms <http://wtforms.simplecodes.com/>) form submission and a collection of database views for creating and updating objects (currently MongoDB <http://mongodb.org/> is supported by using Mongoengine <http://mongoengine.org/>_).

Installation

Flask-Views can be installed by executing pip install flask-views. The source is available at: http://github.com/brocaar/flask-views

        template_name = 'contact_form.html'

        def form_valid(self, form):
            # Do something with the submitted form data
            return super(ContactFormView, self).form_valid(form)
