Web Forms With WTF! - Flask Fridays #5

Video Description

In this video we'll start to use Web Forms for our Flask project with WTF (What the Forms!). Web forms with WTF are incredibly easy to use and come with all sorts of features that we need like form validation, CSRF token creation, and even reCAPTCHA. You can always build out web forms by hand, but using a 3rd party system like WTF just makes it so much easier! In this video we'll look at FlaskForm, StringField, SubmitField, and the DataRequired validator.
