flask - Iterate through model fields in jinja template -

i have several models in application, , have views doing same thing (form + tables showing existing records in model), implemented dfferently because of model, different in each case, wondering if possible make generic.

i googled bit , not able find relevant case. achieve:

in view, want go through each object model passed template, example:

return render_template('addstatus.html', form=form, statuses=status.query.all(),          target_model="status", fields=status.__mapper__.c.keys()) 

but want have 1 view, whatever model be, not able know in advance fields of model, number of columns , on.

i want have in view:

{% obj in objects %}    {% field in obj.fields %} (not existing)       <h1> {{ field }} :: {{ obj.fields.field.value }}    {% endfor %} {% endfor %} 

is possible? how can achieve that?

you can add method db.model class (either subclassing or monkeypatching):

from sqlalchemy.orm import class_mapper, columnproperty def columns(self):     """return actual columns of sqlalchemy-mapped object"""     return [prop.key prop in class_mapper(self.__class__).iterate_properties             if isinstance(prop, columnproperty)] 

then can use {% col in obj.columns() %} iterate on column names.
