Flask Dynamic data update without reload page
i'm trying to create something like Google Suggest Tool (via suggest api http://suggestqueries.google.com/complete/search?output=toolbar&hl=ru&q=query )
I'm listening input changes, and send data go GET:
$("#search_form_input").keyup(function(){
var some_var = $(this).val();
$.ajax({
url: "",
type: "get", //send it through get method
data:{jsdata: some_var},
success: function(response) {
},
error: function(xhr) {
//Do Something to handle error
}
});
After that i'm handling this data and send it to Google API and got response in Python:
@app.route('/', methods=['GET', 'POST'])
def start_page_data():
query_for_suggest = request.args.get('jsdata')
if query_for_suggest == None:
suggestions_list = ['',]
pass
else:
suggestions_list = []
r = requests.get('http://suggestqueries.google.com/complete/search?output=toolbar&hl=ru&q={}&gl=in'.format(query_for_suggest), 'lxml')
soup = BeautifulSoup(r.content)
suggestions = soup.find_all('suggestion')
for suggestion in suggestions:
suggestions_list.append(suggestion.attrs['data'])
print(suggestions_list)
return render_template('start_page.html', suggestions_list=suggestions_list)
In Jinja trying to print it in HTML dynamically:
<label id="value_lable">
{% for suggestion in suggestions_list %}
{{ suggestion }}
{% endfor %}
</label>
But variable in Jinja doesn't update dynamically and print empty list.
How to print suggestions from list dynamically in HTML?

Working example:
app.py
from flask import Flask, render_template, request
import requests
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
app = Flask(__name__)
@app.route('/')
def index():
return render_template('index.html')
@app.route('/suggestions')
def suggestions():
text = request.args.get('jsdata')
suggestions_list = []
if text:
r = requests.get('http://suggestqueries.google.com/complete/search?output=toolbar&hl=ru&q={}&gl=in'.format(text))
soup = BeautifulSoup(r.content, 'lxml')
suggestions = soup.find_all('suggestion')
for suggestion in suggestions:
suggestions_list.append(suggestion.attrs['data'])
#print(suggestions_list)
return render_template('suggestions.html', suggestions=suggestions_list)
if __name__ == '__main__':
app.run(debug=True)
index.html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Suggestions</title>
</head>
<body>
Search: <input type="text" id="search_form_input"></input>
<div id="place_for_suggestions"></div>
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script>
$("#search_form_input").keyup(function(){
var text = $(this).val();
$.ajax({
url: "/suggestions",
type: "get",
data: {jsdata: text},
success: function(response) {
$("#place_for_suggestions").html(response);
},
error: function(xhr) {
//Do Something to handle error
}
});
});
</script>
</body>
</html>
suggestions.html
<label id="value_lable">
{% for suggestion in suggestions %}
{{ suggestion }}<br>
{% endfor %}
