HTML input label to python file

December 31, 2021

How do I take the input from an Html input label and use it in a python file without having to create a local host? I don’t need to save the input but just run it in python.

>Solution :

def create_post(request):
    if request.method == 'POST':
        post_text = request.POST.get('the_post')
        response_data = {}

        post = Post(text=post_text, author=request.user)
        post.save()

        response_data['result'] = 'Create post successful!'
        response_data['postpk'] = post.pk
        response_data['text'] = post.text
        response_data['created'] = post.created.strftime('%B %d, %Y %I:%M %p')
        response_data['author'] = post.author.username

        return HttpResponse(
            json.dumps(response_data),
            content_type="application/json"
        )
    else:
        return HttpResponse(
            json.dumps({"nothing to see": "this isn't happening"}),
            content_type="application/json"
        )
