Took a surprisingly amount of time(which is why i was asking for help), but
ended up with a solution in the end.
controller:
def jsontest1():
import gluon.contrib.simplejson
session.cart = gluon.contrib.simplejson.loads(request.post_vars.cart)
return session.cart
def jsontest():
return dict()
def jsontest2():
return dict(cart=gluon.contrib.simplejson.dumps(session.cart))
view
{{extend 'layout.html'}}
{{=cart}}
<button type="button" onclick="ajaxtest()">Try it</button>
javascript:
function ajaxtest(){
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "/partyworldminh/cart/jsontest1.json",
data: "cart="+JSON.stringify(items)
}).done(function( msg ) { alert(msg);});
}
