Flaskr Url_for With Parameters Not Working When Called From Javascript To Python

I am in the middle of creation of a web application. In javascript, I make a ajax call to my python script, process and send the result back as response. /process/ is the route to

Solution 1:

From experience, I have learned that Jinja cannot utilize Javascript variables, like the following:

window.location.href = "{{ url_for('/process2', name=name) }}"

If I am wrong about that, somebody please correct me and you shall become my best friend in the SO community.

EDIT:

As Jason Heine mentioned, you can achieve what you want by passing in the url_for method as the result in the json:

Python:

from flask import jsonify, url_for

@app.route("/process", methods=['GET', 'POST'])defprocess():    
    name = 'bubba'# code to get the namereturn jsonify({
        'result': url_for('process2', name=name),
        'name': name
     })

@app.route("/process2/<string:name>")defprocess2(name):
    print name
    render_template("user.html", name=name);

Javascript:

$.ajax({
    type: "GET",
    url: "/process",
    contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
    data: { "value1" : value1,
            "value2" : value2
           },
    success: function(data) {
        var route = data.result;
        var name = data.name;
        console.log(route, name);

        window.location.href = route;
    }
});
