python - SQLAlchemy model data isn't rendered in Jinja loop -

i'm trying display menu of items (like lunch menu) can't them show up. added items via flask-admin page , checked database verify items exist know that's not problem. why doesn't menu item data render in loop?

class menuitems(db.model):     id = db.column(db.integer(), primary_key=true)     name = db.column(db.string(50), index=true, unique=true)     price = db.column(db.float(6), unique=false)     description = db.column(db.string(140))  @app.route('/menu') def menu():     menu_items = menuitems.query.all()     return render_template('menu.html', title="dave's bread - menu",  menu_items=menu_items, user=current_user) 

{% item in menu_items %}   <td>     <p><strong>{{ menu_items.name }}</strong></p>     <p>{{ menu_items.description }}</p>     <p>price: {{ menu_items.price }}</p>   </td> {% endfor %} 

you're accessing properties on menu_items inside loop. meant use item access properties of each item.

flask's jinja environment skips rendering undefined values default. menu_items doesn't have description attribute, jinja treats undefined. can make more strict using different undefined type.

from jinja2 import strictundefined app.jinja_env.undefined = strictundefined
