(Using Flask , Jinja2, CSS) I want to place a Jinja placeholder into the link to my CSS stylesheets so that I will have a base stylesheet applied to all pages, and unique stylesheets for each page that get passed in through the Flask routes.
What I've tried:
Flask/Python:
return render_template("login.html", style="login.css", form=form)
html/jinja2
<link rel="stylesheet" href="{{ url_for('static', filename='styles.css') }}" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="{{ url_for('static', filename='{{style}}') }}">
I don't get any errors but the second stylesheet doesn't enact change on the site.
The issue is with how you're nesting the Jinja variable in the second stylesheet link. Try this as an alternative:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="{{ url_for('static', filename=style) }}">You don't need the extra quotes around 'style', Jinja variables already output their contents directly.
