# checkbox-parser
A python module that takes a list object and transforms it to a HTML fieldsets with a question and its answers as checkboxs that can be rendered in flask. The purpose is that the list that is consumed could reside in a noSQL database as a document(MongoDB, Firestore, DynamoDB)
# How it works?
first, you need a list in this structured way
```
[
{
'id_question': 'first',
'question': 'What is the most important reason for choosing a gym?',
'answers': ['The price', 'That it has personalized attention', 'That it has the best facilities', 'That it has a very long schedule'],
'position': 1
},
{
'id_question': 'third',
'question': 'What pay period is the best for you to go to a gym?',
'answers': ['Annual', 'Bimonthly', 'Monthly'],
'position': 3
},
{
'id_question': 'second',
'question': 'What motivates you the most to join a gym?',
'answers': ['Physical appearance', 'Physical condition', 'Know another social circle'],
'position': 2
}
]
```
Note:
* make sure that the id_question value does not repeat itself, this is was intended to map the question with the respectives anwsers
Then you just create a html_parser object. This object just needs the list for work
In order to get the html you can use the get_html method, this will return the html as string
```
from checkbox_parser import html_parser
...
parser = html_parser(data)
parser.get_html()
```
# Use with flask
This is a little snippet of how you can use it with flask
```
from flask import Flask, render_template
from checkbox_parser import html_parser
app=Flask(__name__)
@app.route("/")
def survey():
data = [
{
'id_question': 'first',
'question': 'What is the most important reason for choosing a gym?',
'answers': ['The price', 'That it has personalized attention', 'That it has the best facilities', 'That it has a very long schedule'],
'position': 1
},
{
'id_question': 'third',
'question': 'What pay period is the best for you to go to a gym?',
'answers': ['Annual', 'Bimonthly', 'Monthly'],
'position': 3
},
{
'id_question': 'second',
'question': 'What motivates you the most to join a gym?',
'answers': ['Physical appearance', 'Physical condition', 'Know another social circle'],
'position': 2
}
]
parser = html_parser(data)
html = parser.get_html()
return render_template("your_html_template.html", html=html)
if __name__ == "__main__":
app.run()
```
Note:
* I recommend that in your ninja template use the decode method for the html object, in case this prevents bad characters to be rendered.
```
<form action="/endpoint_get" method="GET" name="myForm">
{{ html.decode('utf-8') | safe }}
<div class="container">
<div class="center">
<button id="submit">submit</button>
</div>
</div>
</form>
```
