7952991 is the same approach as the book. You may find the book
better
written than trying to piece it together from SO answers. :-)
Well I understand the code snippets at SO, whereas I couldn't make
head or
tail of the stuff in the book. Apart from anything else, the
connection to
buttons isn't particularly obvious (it only talks about a submit
button).
Then the resulting web page only has forms on it with a single button
and not
multiple buttons each carrying out a single action.
My google search was for ‘Flask button names’ btw - as I knew that
was a way to detect which button had being clicked for a form to be
submitted. So Google got it right - the SO post explains the task you
were trying to accomplish.
The book being quoted is a really good intro to Flask, and has some good
ideas. Miguel develops a number of very useful Flask libraries, so is
well placed. So, worth pursuing if you want to go further…
