My program must update table "idlist" in python after the item was selected from drop down suggestions in js. User selects the item, after that POST request in python adds it to the "idlist" table.
As I run the program I get the following error message:
I am grateful for your ideas and suggestions:
Here is my python code:
def search():
"""Search for books that match query"""
if request.method == "GET":
if not request.args.get("q"):
return render_template("adjust.html")
else:
q = request.args.get("q") + "%"
books = db.execute("SELECT Title, Author FROM book WHERE Title LIKE :q OR Author LIKE :q", q=q)
return jsonify(books)
if request.method == "POST" and request.form.get("title"):
Title = request.form.get("title")
insert_book = db.execute("INSERT INTO idlist (id,Title1, Status) VALUES (:id, :Title1, :Status)", id=session["user_id"], Title1=Title, Status="Not started")
return redirect("/")
return render_template("adjust.html")
Here is html:
{% extends "layout.html" %}
{% block title %}
Add your Book
{% endblock %}
{% block main %}
Choose your Book
Title, Author
Add
{% endblock %}
Here is js:
function configure()
{
// Configure typeahead
$("#q").typeahead({
highlight: false,
minLength: 1
},
{
display: function(suggestion) { return suggestion.Title; },
limit: 10,
source: search,
templates: {
suggestion: Handlebars.compile(
"
"{{Title}}, {{Author}}" +
"
)
}
});
// Give focus to text box
$("#q").focus();
}
// Search database for typeahead's suggestions
function search(query, syncResults, asyncResults)
{
// Get places matching query (asynchronously)
let parameters = {
q: query
};
$.getJSON("/adjust", parameters, function(data, textStatus, jqXHR) {
// Call typeahead's callback with search results (Author Title)
asyncResults(data);
});
}
$(document).ready(function() {
configure();
});

Don't use Ajax to Add new book it will make user confused because he don't know if it was added to the idlist or not, use the Form POST instead.
in script.js remove the following block
$("#q").on('typeahead:selected', function a(eventObject, suggestion, name) {
...
...
});
and to add selected item to the input form, replace
display: function(suggestion) { return null; },
with
display: function(suggestion) { return suggestion.Title; },
to make form POST, in adjust.html replace
....
with
....
And the addBook() method
@app.route("/addbook", methods=["GET", "POST"])
def addbook():
"""Add selected book"""
if request.method == "POST" and request.form.get("title"):
Title = request.form.get("title")
insert_book = db.execute("INSERT INTO idlist (id,Title1, Status) VALUES (:id, :Title1, :Status)", id=session["user_id"], Title1=Title, Status="Not started")
return redirect("/")
# no "title" in the form, return to Add new book page
return redirect("/adjust")
