Passing list of values to django view via jQuery ajax call
- by finspin
I'm trying to pass a list of numeric values (ids) from one web page to another with jQuery ajax call. I can't figure out how to pass and read all the values in the list. I can successfully post and read 1 value but not multiple values. Here is what I have so far:
jQuery:
var postUrl = "http://localhost:8000/ingredients/";
$('li').click(function(){
values = [1, 2];
$.ajax({
url: postUrl,
type: 'POST',
data: {'terid': values},
traditional: true,
dataType: 'html',
success: function(result){
$('#ingredients').append(result);
}
});
});
/ingredients/ view:
def ingredients(request):
if request.is_ajax():
ourid = request.POST.get('terid', False)
ingredients = Ingredience.objects.filter(food__id__in=ourid)
t = get_template('ingredients.html')
html = t.render(Context({'ingredients': ingredients,}))
return HttpResponse(html)
else:
html = '<p>This is not ajax</p>'
return HttpResponse(html)
With Firebug I can see that POST contains both ids but probably in the wrong format (terid=1&terid=2). So my ingredients view picks up only terid=2. What am I doing wrong?
EDIT:
To clarify, I need the ourid variable pass values [1, 2] to the filter in the ingredients view.
