Showing Flask's flash non-blocking notifications in templates using toastr.
Donate to help keep this project maintained.
Step 1: Initialize the extension:
from flask_toastr import Toastr
toastr = Toastr(app)
Step 2: In your <head> and bottom of <body>sections of your base template add the following code:
<html>
<head>
{{ toastr.include_jquery() }}
{{ toastr.include_toastr_css() }}
{{ toastr.message() }}
</head>
<body>
{{ toastr.include_toastr_js() }}
</body>
</html>This extension also supports the Flask application factory pattern by allowing you to create a Toastr object and then separately initialize it for an app:
toastr = Toastr()
def create_app(config):
app = Flask(__name__)
app.config.from_object(config)
# initialize toastr on the app within create_app()
toastr.init_app(app)
app = create_app(prod_config)Note that jQuery is required. If you are already including it on your own then you can remove the include_jquery() line. Secure HTTP is used if the request under which these are executed is secure.
The include_jquery(), include_toastr_js() and include_toastr_css() methods take some optional arguments. If you pass a version argument to any of these calls, then the requested version will be loaded from the default CDN. In addition, it is also possible to pass js_filename and css_filename to include_toastr_js() and include_toastr_css(), respectively.
Step 3: Use the flash() method with or without category in your views. For example:
@app.route('/')
def index():
flash("All OK")
flash("All OK", 'success')
flash("All Normal", 'info')
flash("Not So OK", 'error')
flash("So So", 'warning')
return render_template('index.html')Or you could also use flash() method with custom titles, see #14 for details:
@app.route('/')
def index():
flash("Message", 'Custom Title')
flash({'title': "Custom Title", 'message': "Error Message"}, 'error')
return render_template('index.html')Step 4: Enjoy
