**Course Title:** Mastering Flask Framework: Building Modern Web Applications **Section Title:** Routing, Views, and Templates **Topic:** Build a multi-page Flask application with dynamic content using Jinja2 templating (Lab topic) In this lab, we will create a multi-page Flask application with dynamic content using Jinja2 templating. This exercise will help you understand how to structure your Flask application, create routes, views, and templates, and pass data between them. **Application Overview** Our application will be a simple blog with the following pages: * Index (list of all blog posts) * Post (individual blog post) * About (static page with information about the blog) **Step 1: Create the Application Structure** Let's create a new directory for our application and create the necessary files and folders: ```bash blog/ app/ __init__.py models.py views.py templates/ base.html index.html post.html about.html static/ css/ js/ config.py requirements.txt run.py ``` **Step 2: Configure the Application** In `config.py`, we will configure our application: ```python import os class Config: DEBUG = True SECRET_KEY = 'mysecretkey' STATIC_FOLDER = 'static' TEMPLATE_FOLDER = 'templates' ``` In `__init__.py`, we will create the Flask application and configure it: ```python from flask import Flask from config import Config app = Flask(__name__) app.config.from_object(Config) ``` **Step 3: Define the Models** In `models.py`, we will define our blog post model: ```python class Post: def __init__(self, title, content): self.title = title self.content = content ``` **Step 4: Create the Routes and Views** In `views.py`, we will create the routes and views for our application: ```python from flask import render_template from blog import app from models import Post # Sample posts posts = [ Post('Post 1', 'This is the content of post 1'), Post('Post 2', 'This is the content of post 2'), Post('Post 3', 'This is the content of post 3'), ] @app.route('/') def index(): return render_template('index.html', posts=posts) @app.route('/post/<int:post_id>') def post(post_id): post = posts[post_id - 1] return render_template('post.html', post=post) @app.route('/about') def about(): return render_template('about.html') ``` **Step 5: Create the Templates** In `base.html`, we will define the base template for our application: ```html <!DOCTYPE html> <html lang="en"> <head> <meta charset="UTF-8"> <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0"> <title>Blog</title> <link rel="stylesheet" href="{{ url_for('static', filename='css/style.css') }}"> </head> <body> <header> <h1>Blog</h1> <nav> <ul> <li><a href="{{ url_for('index') }}">Home</a></li> <li><a href="{{ url_for('about') }}">About</a></li> </ul> </nav> </header> <main> {% block content %}{% endblock %} </main> <footer> © 2023 Blog </footer> <script src="{{ url_for('static', filename='js/script.js') }}"></script> </body> </html> ``` In `index.html`, we will define the template for the index page: ```html {% extends 'base.html' %} {% block content %} <h1>Posts</h1> <ul> {% for post in posts %} <li> <h2>{{ post.title }}</h2> <p>{{ post.content }}</p> <p><a href="{{ url_for('post', post_id=post_index+1) }}">Read more</a></p> </li> {% endfor %} </ul> {% endblock %} ``` In `post.html`, we will define the template for the post page: ```html {% extends 'base.html' %} {% block content %} <h1>{{ post.title }}</h1> <p>{{ post.content }}</p> {% endblock %} ``` In `about.html`, we will define the template for the about page: ```html {% extends 'base.html' %} {% block content %} <h1>About</h1> <p>This is a sample blog.</p> {% endblock %} ``` **Step 6: Run the Application** Finally, we can run our application: ```bash python run.py ``` This will start the Flask development server, and we can view our application in a web browser at [http://localhost:5000](http://localhost:5000). **Conclusion** In this lab, we created a multi-page Flask application with dynamic content using Jinja2 templating. We defined routes, views, and templates, and passed data between them. We also configured our application and created a simple blog model. This exercise should give you a good understanding of how to structure and build a Flask application. **Further Reading** * Flask Documentation: [https://flask.palletsprojects.com/en/2.0.x/](https://flask.palletsprojects.com/en/2.0.x/) * Jinja2 Documentation: [https://jinja.palletsprojects.com/en/3.1.x/](https://jinja.palletsprojects.com/en/3.1.x/) **What's Next** In the next topic, we will learn about database management in Flask using SQLAlchemy.
