How can I add a new route to display a list of all movies in ASCII Flix?
To add a new route for displaying all movies, you can modify the main.py file:
python
@app.route("/movies")
def list_movies():
return render_template("movies.html", movies=movies)
Then create a new movies.html template:
```html
All Movies
-
{% for movie in movies %}
- {{ movie.title }} {% endfor %}
```
This will create a new page listing all available movies in ASCII Flix.
How can I implement a search function in ASCII Flix to find specific movies?
To add a search function, you can create a new route and form in ASCII Flix:
In main.py, add:
python
@app.route("/search", methods=["GET", "POST"])
def search():
if request.method == "POST":
query = request.form.get("query")
results = [movie for movie in movies if query.lower() in movie.title.lower()]
return render_template("search_results.html", results=results, query=query)
return render_template("search.html")
Create a search.html template:
```html
Search ASCII Flix
```
And a search_results.html template to display the results. This implementation allows users to search for movies in ASCII Flix by title.
