Python flask application unable to load local images from dynamic HTML template

Question

I have python application one of the method returning list of file names in JSON format. I tried to bind the file names to local folder path when I render the template images are not loading in browser.

I tried several ways to bind the path

img src="./localpath/filename.png"



img src="localpath/filename.png"



imagename = os.path.join(os.getcwd(), 'foldername/'+ filename.png)

Even i tried to load image with local host static path but still unable to load images. Can some one help me out on this?

Thanks In advance

By default Flask serves static content from the static folder of your project. You can then create URLs for these files using url_for('static', filename='image.png') (assuming the location static/image.png, see also).

Please note that url_for should be your go-to way of building URLs as it takes a lot of tasks off your plate.

Flask serves images through the static folder. So add filename.png in a folder called static and reference it from there.
