Data from javascript to python(using post)

Question

I am trying to give data from javascript to python, using post

On my Javascript

$('ABC').on("click", function(){
    $.post( '/user',
        {
            user: 'here'
        }
    )});

And giving this to python

@app.route("/user", methods=['GET', 'POST'])
def user():
    id = user
    return id

Above code should show html with just user.

But page does not move when on click..

Any idea?

What Python server framework are you using? You need to access the POST parameters; see its documentation. — SLaks

The page doesn't move because you're making an AJAX request. If you want the page to move, you need to submit a POST <form>. — user5734311

You need to provide a callback function in $.post

$('ABC').on("click", function() {
  $.post('/user', {
    user: 'here'
  }, function(response) {
    $("#result").html(response);
  });
});

You can also abbreviate this to the .load() method:

$('ABC').on("click", function() {
  $("#result").load('/user', {
    user: 'here'
  });
});
