TypeError: 'function' object is not iterable flask

Question

I'm testing a new app in Flask but I don't know what went wrong.

I created toy.py and added a class to it.

class Toy:
    count = 1

    def __init__(self, name):
        self.name = name
        self.id = Toy.count
        Toy.count += 1

In the app.py

from flask import Flask, render_template, url_for, request, redirect
from toy import Toy


app = Flask(__name__)


spiderman = Toy(name='spiderman')
superman = Toy(name='superman')
bathman = Toy(name='bathman')

toys = [spiderman, superman, bathman]

@app.route('/toys',)
def toys():
    return render_template('toys.html', toys=toys)


if __name__ == '__main__':
    app.run(debug=True)

In the HTML file I was trying to loop true

{% extends 'base.html' %}

{% block title %}
TOYS PAGE
{% endblock %}

{% block body %}
<ul>
    {% for toy in toys %}
    <li>{{ toy.name }}</li>
    {% endfor %}
</ul>

{% endblock %}

I am receiving the following error:

**{% for toy in toys %}
TypeError: 'function' object is not iterable**

Answer 1

You are redefining the name toys .

First in,

toys = [spiderman, superman, bathman]

Second in,

@app.route('/toys',)
def toys():
    return render_template('toys.html', toys=toys)

So in the end toys is a function. Maybe name the Toy list as _toys
