I have written a very small example: a junit button which sends a POST request with a pair of values:
<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<title>jQuery UI Button - Default functionality</title>
<script src="{{STATIC_URL}}js/jquery-1.9.1.js"></script>
<script src="{{STATIC_URL}}js/jquery-ui-1.10.3.custom.js"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="{{STATIC_URL}}css/jquery-ui-1.10.3.custom.css">
<script>
$(function() {
$( "button" )
.button()
.click(function( event ) {
var postdata = {
'value1': 7,
'value2': 5
};
$.post('', postdata); // POST request to the same view I am now
window.alert("Hello world!"); // To know it is working
});
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<button>Submit</button>
</body>
</html>
So, the view is rendered when a GET request is sent to localhost:8000/button/, and when the button is pushed a POST request is also sent to localhost:8000/button/.
urls.py
from django.conf.urls import patterns, url
urlpatterns = patterns('',
url(r'^button/$', 'helloworld.views.buttonExample'),
)
views.py
def buttonExample(request):
print 'RECEIVED REQUEST: ' + request.method
if request.method == 'POST':
print 'Hello'
else: #GET
return render(request, 'buttonExample.html')
When the GET request is done, the view is displayed correctly and I can also read at Django console the lines:
RECEIVED REQUEST: GET <---- This line is because of my print
[28/May/2013 05:20:30] "GET /button/ HTTP/1.1" 200 140898
[28/May/2013 05:20:30] "GET /static/js/jquery-1.9.1.js HTTP/1.1" 304 0
[28/May/2013 05:20:30] "GET /static/js/jquery-ui-1.10.3.custom.js HTTP/1.1" 304 0
[28/May/2013 05:20:30] "GET /static/css/jquery-ui-1.10.3.custom.css HTTP/1.1" 304 0
...
And when the button is pushed, I can see:
[28/May/2013 05:20:34] "POST /register/ HTTP/1.1" 403 142238
But "RECEIVED REQUEST: POST" is never printed. Neither is "Hello". It seems like the urls.py is not serving the view when a POST arrived, because in Firebug I can see that POST status is 403 FORBIDDEN.
This is probably a silly newbie mistake, but I don't know what am I missing. I have read the django book chapter about advanced URLConf and Views, and it looks like it should work just by checking request.method value.
