How to add action buttons in Flask

In the Flask code you can add an action under every if statement of the corresponding button like rendering a template or running a python script. In the HTML code you can add as many buttons as you want just be sure to add the right values and names.

Flask Code

from flask import Flask, render_template, request
app = Flask(__name__)

@app.route("/", methods=['GET', 'POST'])
def index():
    if request.method == 'POST':
        if request.form.get('action1') == 'VALUE1':
            pass # do something
        elif  request.form.get('action2') == 'VALUE2':
            pass # do something else
        else:
            pass # unknown
    elif request.method == 'GET':
        return render_template('index.html', form=form)
    
    return render_template("index.html")

In the HTML Code (index.html)

<h3>Our Flask Buttons<h3/>
	<form method="post" action="/">
		<input type="submit" value="VALUE1" name="action1"/>
		<input type="submit" value="VALUE2" name="action2" />
	</form>
