Register and Edit profile in a Flask App

Create sign up form

In your 'forms.py' file we need to create a form for the sign-up process. You should have created 'forms.py' when you created your login form. You will also need to import the DateField and SelectField:

from wtforms import StringField, PasswordField, SubmitField, DateField, SelectField

Now for the flaskform, add the following:

class SignUpForm(FlaskForm):
    username = StringField('Username', validators=[DataRequired()])
    password = PasswordField('Password', validators=[DataRequired()])
    confirm = PasswordField('Confirm Password', validators=[DataRequired()])
    email = StringField('Email', validators=[])
    DOB = DateField('DOB', format='%Y-%m-%d')
    MF = SelectField('Gender', choices=[('M','Male'), ('F','Female')])
    submit = SubmitField('Sign In')

Create sign up template

My WebApp was created using Visual Studio, and it already created a 'layout' template and then separate 'html' files for each page. If you already have templates set up you should copy one of the 'html' files for a page and edit it to this:

{% extends "layout.html" %}

{% block content %}
    <h1>Sign In</h1>
    <form action="" method="post" novalidate>
        {{ form.hidden_tag() }}
        <p>
            {{ form.username.label }}<br>
            {{ form.username(size=32) }}
        </p>
        <p>
            {{ form.password.label }}<br>
            {{ form.password(size=32) }}
        </p>
        <p>
            {{ form.confirm.label }}<br>
            {{ form.confirm(size=32) }}
        </p>
        <p>
            {{ form.email.label }}<br>
            {{ form.email(size=32) }}
        </p>
        <p>
            {{ form.DOB.label }}<br>
            {{ form.DOB(size=32) }}
        </p>
        <p>
            {{ form.MF.label }}<br>
            {{ form.MF() }}
        </p>
        <p>{{ form.submit() }}</p>
    </form>
{% endblock %}
