Can't get post ajax request data python

Question

I have html form:

    <form id = "contactForm">
        <input type="text" name="name"></input>
        <input  type="text" name="phone"></input>
    </form>

I have Button and when I click it I am doing ajax post request:

$.post( "/send-form", $('#contactForm').serialize()

In chrome web inspector I can see that data is sent name=+gfdsfd&phone=89999 enter image description here

This is my backend function I am using Flask,Python:

  @app.route("/send-form", methods=['POST'])
def send_form():
    name = phone = email = country = text = None
    data = request.data
    print request.data

And it prints empty string in my console. What can be the problem?

To access Flask's form data you should use the form attribute of the request object .

name=request.form['name']
data=request.form['phone']

But I still have a question. I used the wrong syntaxis above in my answer in another project and it worked.How can that be?
