Hi @ananth
If you need to make values from UI available to your backend, you will need to make use of some JS in order to pass those values into a backend endpoint. The endpoint will use those, perhaps with other computations in order to generate a response.
JS then will, if successful (or unsuccessful) update UI.
For example in HTML
<div>
<input type="text" id="input_field" value="some_value">
</div>
Then in JS perhaps you want to capture when someone clicks on this (or other events)
$('#input_field').on('click', function () {
input_value = $(this).val();
$.getJSON(getWebAppBackendUrl('/do_something?input_value=' + input_value), function(data) {
do_something_in_UI();
});
});
then in Python backend
from flask import request
import json
@app.route('/do_something', methods = ['GET'])
def do_something():
input_value = request.args.get('input_value')
return json.dumps(some_dict_response)
Please treat the above as pseudocode to illustrate the general flow, hope this helps!
