Clear valid form after it is submitted

by

The issue is that you’re always rendering the form with whatever data was passed in, even if that data validated and was handled. In addition, the browser stores the state of the last request, so if you refresh the page at this point the browser will re-submit the form.

After handling a successful form request, redirect to the page to get a fresh state.

@app.route('/register', methods=['GET', 'POST'])
def register():
    form = RegistrationForm()

    if form.validate_on_submit():
        # do stuff with valid form
        # then redirect to "end" the form
        return redirect(url_for('register'))

    # initial get or form didn't validate
    return render_template('register.html', form=form)
