hello everyone,
I am a frontend developer studying Django, so please forgive my
noobish question...
I am trying to make a simple ajax call working.
I have a form in a template. I would like to use that form to save an
object into the database (asynchronously).
On form submit event:
* I prevent regular action
* I serialize form data in a JSON
* I pass that object to a view using a jquery POST
* The view receive the JSON data
* The view use the request.POST data to save an object into the database.
* The view returns a message.
Is that flow straightforward, or am I completely missing the goal?
Now some code and the error I got.
The relevant part of template:
http://dpaste.com/3Z7TRPM
And this is the error I got:
http://dpaste.com/3FYMGYG
I noticed that in the view the request.POST is *empty*!
That is wrong, I suppose.
No that isn't. If jquery sets content-type, to application/json Django
doesn't put that data in .POST, but it's in .body
Django only puts in .POST form-data (either urlencoded or multipart)
I am surely missing something.
Any help is really appreciated.
If you want to send JSON data with ajax, using something like django-nap
or django-rest-framework is a great help.
