[Solved]-Using a flask variable as data source for highcharts-Highcharts

score:2

jinja2 escapes all variables as a safety measure. the array of dictionaries you show is rendered by default as:

[{&#39;f_name&#39;: &#39;bruce gradkowski&#39;, &#39;team&#39;: &#39;pit&#39;, &#39;number&#39;: 5, &#39;position&#39;: &#39;qb&#39;, &#39;y&#39;: 99.79, &#39;x&#39;: 185.42}, {&#39;f_name&#39;: &#39;matthew stafford&#39;, &#39;team&#39;: &#39;det&#39;, &#39;number&#39;: 9, &#39;position&#39;: &#39;qb&#39;, &#39;y&#39;: 105.23, &#39;x&#39;: 190.5}]

note how the quotes were converted into html entities.

to prevent escaping you can add the safe filter as follows:

{{ var_name|safe }}

note that this only works because javascript and python happen to have a similar syntax for arrays and dictionaries.
