Take a minute to review the files in this challenge. For this task, you'll need to add plants to the database. Inside of app.py, you have a form route and function. This is where you will add your submitted plants to your database. Inside of the given if statement (before the return redirect()), you need to create a Plant object using the Plant() model and save it to a varaible called new_plant. Then add the plant to the database with db.add() and commit it with db.commit().
from models import db, Plant, app
from flask import render_template, url_for, request, redirect
@app.route('/')
def index():
return render_template('index.html')
@app.route('/form', methods=['GET', 'POST'])
def form():
if request.form:
new_plant = Plant (type=request.form['type'],
status=request.form['status'])
db.add(new_plant)
db.commit()
return redirect(url_for('index'))
return render_template('form.html')
if __name__ == '__main__':
app.run(host='0.0.0.0', port=8000)
from flask import Flask
from flask_sqlalchemy import SQLAlchemy
app = Flask(__name__)
app.config['SQLALCHEMY_DATABASE_URI'] = 'sqlite:///plants.db'
db = SQLAlchemy(app)
class Plant(db.Model):
id = db.Column(db.Integer, primary_key=True)
plant_type = db.Column(db.String())
plant_status = db.Column(db.String())
{% extends 'layout.html' %}
{% block content %}
<form action="{{ url_form('form') }}" method="POST">
<label for="type">Plant Type:</label>
<input type="text" name="type" id="type" placeholder="Plant type">
<p>Plant Status:</p>
<label for="good">GOOD</label>
<input type="radio" name="status" id="good">
<label for="ok">OK</label>
<input type="radio" name="status" id="ok">
<label for="bad">BAD</label>
<input type="radio" name="status" id="bad">
</form>
{% endblock %}
{% extends 'layout.html' %}
{% block content %}
<h1>Our Plants:</h1>
<div>
<h2>Plant Type</h2>
<p>Plant Status</p>
</div>
{% endblock %}

I had the same problem as well. So one thing I noticed.
1) Inside of the "if statement" in your def form() function I believe you're misreferring both objects inside of the Plant() model in order to properly assign your new variable new_plant as they should be specified directly in reference. Simply put, you should change both of your objects from type and status to plant_type and plant_status (refer to models.py class method).
Overall, I think your app.py file should look something like this..
from models import db, Plant, app
from flask import render_template, url_for, request, redirect
@app.route('/')
def index():
return render_template('index.html')
@app.route('/form', methods=['GET', 'POST'])
def form():
if request.form:
new_plant = Plant(plant_type=request.form['type'],
plant_status=request.form['status'])
db.add(new_plant)
db.commit()
return redirect(url_for('index'))
return render_template('form.html')
@app.route('/delete')
def delete():
return redirect(url_for('index'))
if __name__ == '__main__':
app.run(host='0.0.0.0', port=8000)
