I'm trying to use ajax calls to update the data for a chart dynamically. I
don't want to make the chart a component that refreshes, I just want to get
the controller return value back to the javascript in the view, so that I
can update the chart via javascript. But web2py's ajax function seems to
only (a) update a part of the page html, or (b) send page data to the
controller for use in the back-end. There doesn't seem to be any way to get
the controller's return value as a data object for the javascript to use.
I've tried just using jquery's get() method like this:
$.get(my_controller_url, function(data){
console.log('got ajax data', data);
});
But if the controller's return value is a tuple there seems to be no data
sent back, or at least I don't know how to access it from the 'data'
variable in this example. If I make the controller a dictionary I get html
back. But I don't want html. I just want the data.
So how can I do this?
