Introduction #

Flask allows us to pass any Python object to the template, which can then be referred to inside the template using Jinja syntax.

  1. The object is provided as a named argument to the render_template() function.
return render_template("index.html", my_object = Object)

{{ my_object }}

📌 Note: Multiple parameters can be passed to the template using the method mentioned above.
