Saving data when redirecting url using flask

Question

How do I save surname and print "My name is Paul Morphy". Do I have to use a database?

from flask import Flask, render_template, request, redirect, url_for
import datetime
app = Flask(__name__)

@app.route('/')
def index():
    name = 'Paul'
    surname = 'Morphy'
    return redirect((url_for('name', name=name)))

@app.route('/<string:name>')
def name(name):
    return 'My name is ' + name

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

Answer 1

A database is not absolutely necessary. There are different ways to output the surname or to save it. A client-side storage in cookies, for example thesession , would also be possible. What's your long-term goal? It depends on which technique is the most sensible to recommend to you.

Answer 2

You can do this ->

from flask import Flask, redirect,  url_for
app = Flask(__name__)

@app.route('/')
def index():
    name = 'Paul'
    surname = 'Morphy'
    return redirect((url_for('name', name=name , surname = surname)))

@app.route('/<string:name>/<surname>')
def name(name, surname):
    return 'My name is ' + name + ' ' + surname

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