Hi there Nomosker,
Hope everyone well.
In this short tutorial, I will explain a bit about Django ajax with Axios.
I have seen most of the tutorials used with jquery but in some cases, we are not using jquery so instantly we can use Axios to make it easy to understand.
Let's do step by step.
1st app/urls.py
path('developer', views.Developer, name="developer")
2nd app/models.py
class DeveloperList(models.Model):
name = models.CharField(max_length=25)
email = models.EmailField(max_length=25)
country = models.CharField(max_length=25)
def __str__(self):
return self.name
3rd app/views.py
def Developer(request):
developer_list = DeveloperList.objects.all()
json_data = {}
if request.method == 'POST':
# get the input field name
name = request.POST.get('name')
email = request.POST.get('email')
country = request.POST.get('country')
# set in json
json_data['name'] = name
json_data['email'] = email
json_data['country'] = country
# create the model to store in db
DeveloperList.objects.create(
name = name,
email = email,
country = country
)
#return the json
return JsonResponse(json_data)
return render(request, 'developer.html', {"developer_list": developer_list})
4th app/templates
create templates folder and put developer.html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<title>Ajax learning with axios</title>
</head>
<body>
<form method="post" onsubmit="return formSubmit()">
{% csrf_token %}
<div class="form-group">
<label for="" class="form-label">Name</label>
<input type="text" name="name" class="form-control">
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label for="" class="form-label">Email</label>
<input type="eamil" name="email" class="form-control">
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label for="" class="form-label">Country</label>
<input type="text" name="country" class="form-control">
</div>
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary">Submit</button>
</form>
{% if developer_list %}
<table>
<thead>
<tr>
<th> Name </th>
<th> Email </th>
<th> Country </th>
</tr>
<tbody id="developer_list">
{% for developer in developer_list %}
<tr>
<td> {{developer.name}} </td>
<td> {{developer.email}} </td>
<td> {{developer.country}} </td>
</tr>
{% endfor %}
</tbody>
</thead>
</table>
{% endif %}
<script src='https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/axios/0.9.1/axios.js'></script>
<script>
function formSubmit() {
event.preventDefault()
axiosSetup()
}
function axiosSetup() {
// for geting the input value to pass at server for collecting there value and save in db
let data = new FormData()
data.append('name', document.querySelector('input[name="name"]').value)
data.append('email', document.querySelector('input[name="email"]').value)
data.append('country', document.querySelector('input[name="country"]').value)
data.append('csrfmiddlewaretoken', '{{csrf_token}}') // setup csrf_token as a post request
// ....axios post request
let url = '{% url "developer" %}' // self request so we call developer
axios.post(url, data)
.then(res => {
document.getElementById('developer_list').innerHTML += `
<tr>
<td> ${res.data.name} </td>
<td> ${res.data.email} </td>
<td> ${res.data.country} </td>
</tr>
`
})
.catch(e => console.log(e))
}
</script>
</body>
</html>
5th go to terminal
