Python dictionary in to html table

Question

Is there any way to print the python dictionary in to a table in HTML. I have a python dictionary and am sending to HTML by using

return render_template(\'i         


        

Answer 1

For python3, no () after result.items

<table>
{% for key, value in result.items %}
   <tr>
        <th> {{ key }} </th>
        <td> {{ value }} </td>
   </tr>
{% endfor %}
</table>

Answer 2

Flask uses Jinja as the templating framework. You can just do the following in your template (html)

<table>
{% for key, value in result.iteritems() %}
   <tr>
        <th> {{ key }} </th>
        <td> {{ value }} </td>
   </tr>
{% endfor %}
</table>

Answer 3

Check Flask-Table.

Example from the docs (slightly edited):

from flask_table import Table, Col

# Declare your table
class ItemTable(Table):
    name = Col('Name')
    description = Col('Description')

items = [dict(name='Name1', description='Description1'),
         dict(name='Name2', description='Description2'),
         dict(name='Name3', description='Description3')]

# Populate the table
table = ItemTable(items)

# Print the html
print(table.__html__())
# or just {{ table }} from within a Jinja template

Answer 4

tbl_fmt = '''
<table> {}
</table>'''

row_fmt  = '''
  <tr>
    <td>{}</td>
    <td>{}</td>
  </tr>'''

def dict_to_html_table(in_dict):
    return tbl_fmt.format(''.join([row_fmt.format(k,v) for k,v in in_dict.iteritems()]))

Answer 5

I've had better luck putting the dictionary into a list of lists, then have the html loop through the list and print the table. The python would be:

Table = []
for key, value in results_dict.iteritems():    # or .items() in Python 3
    temp = []
    temp.extend([key,value])  #Note that this will change depending on the structure of your dictionary
    Table.append(temp)

Then in your html you loop through the table.

<table>
{% for t in table %}
    <tr>
    {% for i in t %}
        <td>{{ i }}</td>
    {% endfor %}
    </tr>
{% endfor %}
 </table>

Answer 6

Iterate through the dictionary items using result.iteritems() and then write the keys/data into rows of an html table.
