Deleting a blog post

Git Commit: deleting a blog post
In order to delete a blog post, I am planning to add a delete button to the detail view of a blog post. Browsers don't understand that I have to send a delete request when the button is clicked. So, we are going to catch the get request on button click and use it to identify and delete the blog.

{% extends "base.html" %}

{% block content %}
<div class="container">
    <div class="row">
        <p class="text-secondary my-4">{{blog.content}}</p>
        <!--previous content above-->
        <a href="/delete/{{blog.id}}" class="btn btn-outline-danger col-sm-1 justify-content-center">Delete</a>
    </div>
</div>

{% endblock %}

Now, all we need to do is to have a route that deletes the blog with the given id and informs the end-user about the result.

from db.repository.blog import delete_blog

##

@router.get("/delete/{id}")
def delete_a_blog(request: Request,id: int, db:Session = Depends(get_db)):
    token = request.cookies.get("access_token")
    _, token = get_authorization_scheme_param(token)
    try:
        author = get_current_user(token=token, db=db)
        msg = delete_blog(id=id,author_id=author.id,db=db)
        alert = msg.get("error") or msg.get("msg")
        return responses.RedirectResponse(
            f"/?alert={alert}", status_code=status.HTTP_302_FOUND
        )
    except Exception as e:
        print(f"Exception raised while deleting {e}")
        blog = retreive_blog(id=id,db=db)
        return templates.TemplateResponse("blog/detail.html",{"request":request,"alert":"Please Login Again",
                                                              "blog":blog})

Notice, we are also sending an alert at the last line, but our detail.html does not handle alerts. In order to do this, I would like to move the alert handling logic to base.html

<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">

  <body>
    {% include "components/navbar.html" %}
    {% with alert=alert %}
      {% include "components/alert.html" %}
    {% endwith %}
