If a site needs to be very dynamic, i.e. it needs to change its content without changing the url or refreshing the page, JavaScript can be employed. ¶
¶
Basically onBlur or onChange or some event function call a python code to take some arguments and inserts that data in the database. ¶
¶
To accomplish this some id need to be added to a template field and then jQuery selector used to get the value from it on blur or input. ¶
¶
To make the Ajax call use jQuery's .post() [http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.post/]: ¶
¶
.. sourcecode:: js ¶
¶
$('#some_id').omn("blur", function(){ ¶
// Make ajax call here ¶
$.post('a-url/', function(data) { ¶
$('result'.html(data); // Do what needs to be done with the returned data. ¶
}); ¶
}); ¶
¶
Create an url and a view to capture that post: ¶
¶
.. sourcecode:: python ¶
¶
@csrf_exempt ¶
def view(request: ¶
if request.is_ajax() and request.method == 'POST': ¶
captured_post_parameter = request.POST.get('field_name') ¶
# Do logic here ¶
# Return either HttpResponse(response) or use simplejson to return json response ¶
¶
