Usage

@ajax Decorator

from django_ajax.decorators import ajax

@ajax
def my_view(request):
    do_something()

When nothing is returned as result of view then returns (JSON format):

{"status": 200, "statusText": "OK", "content ": null}

Sending custom data in the response

@ajax
def my_view(request):
    c = 2 + 3
    return {'result': c}

The result is send to the browser in the following way (JSON format)

{"status": 200, "statusText": "OK", "content": {"result": 5}}

Combining with others decorators

from django.contrib.auth.decorators import login_required
from django_ajax.decorators import ajax

@ajax
@login_required
def my_view(request):
    # if the request.user is anonymous then this view not proceed
    return {'user_id': request.user.id}

The JSON response:

{"status": 302, "statusText": "FOUND", "content": "/login"}

Template response

from django.shortcuts import render
from django_ajax.decorators import ajax

@ajax
def my_view(request):
    return render(request, 'home.html')

The JSON response:

{"status": 200, "statusText": "OK", "content": "<html>...</html>"}

Catch exceptions

@ajax
def my_view(request):
    a = 23 / 0  # this line throws an exception
    return a

The JSON response:

{"status": 500, "statusText": "INTERNAL SERVER ERROR", "content": "integer division or modulo by zero"}

AJAXMiddleware

If you use AJAX quite frequently in your project, we suggest using the AJAXMiddleware described below.

Add django_ajax.middleware.AJAXMiddleware into the MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES list in settings.py.

All your responses will be converted to JSON if the request was made by AJAX, otherwise is return a HttpResponse.

AJAXMixin for class-based views

AJAXMixin is an object that calls the AJAX decorator.

from django.views.generic import TemplateView
from django_ajax.mixin import AJAXMixin

class SimpleView(AJAXMixin, TemplateView):
    template_name = 'home.html'

The JSON response:

{"status": 200, "statusText": "OK", "content": "<html>...</html>"}

Enjoy!
