pset8 getJSON syntax info needed

Question

have been Googling to find out the syntax for getting the flask url data to getJSON..can anyone point me to where that is? thanks

Answer 1

The jQuery doc for getJSON says it takes a url as an argument. (First hit with "jquery getJSON" search using Google).

The flask doc for url_for (first hit from internet search for "flask url_for" and searching the document) offers another link for Quickstart.

The (supplied) search function shows the pieces in action (no google required :)

function search(query, syncResults, asyncResults)
{
    // get places matching query (asynchronously)
    var parameters = {
        q: query
    };
    $.getJSON(Flask.url_for("search"), parameters)
    .done(function(data, textStatus, jqXHR) { 

I hope this helps.
