Flask CRUD Application Update Data in MySQL Database

Flask CRUD

About Lesson

In this Flask CRUD Application lesson we are going to learn about Flask CRUD Application Update Data in MySQL Database, we have already learned that how you can insert and update data in your CRUD Application.

Open your App.py file and add a method for updating the data in your Flask CRUD Application.

#this is our update route where we are going to update our employee
@app.route('/update', methods = ['GET', 'POST'])
def update():
 
    if request.method == 'POST':
        my_data = Data.query.get(request.form.get('id'))
 
        my_data.name = request.form['name']
        my_data.email = request.form['email']
        my_data.phone = request.form['phone']
 
        db.session.commit()
        flash("Employee Updated Successfully")
 
        return redirect(url_for('Index'))

#this is our update route where we are going to update our employee

@app.route('/update', methods = ['GET', 'POST'])

def update():

if request.method == 'POST':

my_data = Data.query.get(request.form.get('id'))

my_data.name = request.form['name']

my_data.email = request.form['email']

my_data.phone = request.form['phone']

db.session.commit()

flash("Employee Updated Successfully")

return redirect(url_for('Index'))

This is our complete code for App.py file.

from flask import Flask, render_template, redirect, flash, \
    request, url_for
from flask_sqlalchemy import SQLAlchemy




#create the object of Flask
app  = Flask(__name__)
app.secret_key = "geekscoderssecretkey"

app.config['SQLALCHEMY_TRACK_MODIFICATIONS'] = False


db = SQLAlchemy(app)


# Creating model table for our CRUD database
class Data(db.Model):
    id = db.Column(db.Integer, primary_key=True)
    name = db.Column(db.String(100))
    email = db.Column(db.String(100))
    phone = db.Column(db.String(100))

    def __init__(self, name, email, phone):
        self.name = name
        self.email = email
        self.phone = phone

def Index():
    all_data = Data.query.all()
    return render_template("index.html", employees=all_data)


# this route is for inserting data
# to mysql database via html forms
@app.route('/insert', methods=['POST'])
def insert():
    if request.method == 'POST':
        name = request.form['name']
        email = request.form['email']
        phone = request.form['phone']

        my_data = Data(name, email, phone)
        db.session.add(my_data)
        db.session.commit()

        flash("Employee Inserted Successfully")

        return redirect(url_for('Index'))


# this is our update route where we are going to

        return redirect(url_for('Index'))

First we need to bring some changes in our update button, so add this code.

 <a class="btn btn-warning btn-xs" data-target="#modaledit"
                 data-toggle="modal" href="/update/{{row.id}}">
                Edit</a>

<a class="btn btn-warning btn-xs" data-target="#modaledit"

data-toggle="modal" href="/update/{{row.id}}">

Edit</a>

Now let’s bring changes to update modal in index.html.
