Flask-SQLAlchemy多对多插入

Question

Flask sqlalchemy many-to-many insert data

I've tried the above advice but continue to recieve the following error on the append of a many to many attribute when inserting a new post with tags.

Any direction would be most appreciated!

Answer 1

This:

existing_tag = Tag.query.filter(Tag.name == tag.lower())
"""if it does return existing tag objec to list"""
if existing_tag is not None:
    return existing_tag

does not return a Tag , but a Query . You want to Tag.query.filter(...).one_or_none() to get the tag itself.
