65,469 PointsWhere does saves.get('color') come from?
In around 4:00 in the video, Kenneth uses saves.get('color')
. If I understood correctly, saves
is the cookies (in dict
format). But when I inspected the page, it only had the "name" cookie.
Here's the line he wrote:
{% if cookies['color'] == color %}checked{% endif %}
Help appreciated! ~Alex

is put into the template context using the render_template
function. The value of saves
is set to the get_saved_data
function output, which gets its values from the cookies passed in the request.
Post back if you need more help. Good luck!!
