Flask-Views 0.2.1

Class based views for Flask

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) form submission and a collection of database views for creating and updating objects (currently MongoDB is supported by using Mongoengine).

Installation

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

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

    def get_success_url(self):
