I am trying to apply a filter to data that is being displayed on a map but for some reason, the Ajax call that I have set up is not being executed. I can reach the console.log line in the view but anything after that in the Ajax call is never executed. This is being done in ASP.NET MVC.
I have similar Ajax calls in this project from other developers that function in a similar manner. I have tried to restructure my code to work in a similar manner, but with no success. The other developers have no idea what is going on either.
C# in the controller
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult MapFilter(string filterLake, bool filterPets)
{
var filteredProperties = db.Properties.Include(a => a.PropertyCategory).Where(b => b.Status == true).Select(x => new { x.PropertyName, x.PropertyId, x.RatePerNight, x.RatePerWeek, x.MarketingTitle, x.Latitude, x.Longitude, x.Pets, x.PropertyCategory.PropertyCategoryName });
if (filterLake != "")
filteredProperties = filteredProperties.Where(a => a.PropertyCategoryName == filterLake);
if (filterPets != true)
filteredProperties = filteredProperties.Where(a => a.Pets == filterPets);
var jsonProperties = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(filteredProperties);
return new JsonResult()
{
Data = jsonProperties,
JsonRequestBehavior = JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet
};
}
JavaScript & Ajax in the View
var filterLake, filterPets;
var btnApplyFilters = document.getElementById("applyFilters");
var filterLakeNode = document.getElementById("filterLake");
var filterPetsNode = document.getElementById("filterPets");
$(document).ready(function () {
btnApplyFilters.onclick = function () {
filterLake = filterLakeNode.options[filterLakeNode.selectedIndex].value;
filterPets = filterPetsNode.options[filterPetsNode.selectedIndex].value;
console.log("Lake:|" + filterLake + "| Pets:|" + filterPets + "|");
$.ajax({
url: "/Estates/MapFilter",
type: "Post",
data: {
"filterLake": filterLake,
"filterPets": filterPets
},
success: function (result) {
filteredMapData = result;
console.log("Result = " + result);
loadMapMarkers(true)
}
});
};
})
When I run the program on localhost, I am able to reach the
console.log("Lake:|" + filterLake + "| Pets:|" + filterPets + "|");
line with no issues. Anything after does not run.
You need check filterPets value, it must be true/false then model binder can map with bool type.
With primitive type (bool, int, float) you should use nullable type bool? for preventing case the value incorrect format.
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult MapFilter(string filterLake, bool? filterPets)
{
}
With this paramter if filterPets has wrong value, it will be null.

I am trying to have save changes on my script and I just need an update from my table. So far if I clicked the button, the alert success will not pop and can't see any error either. I also tried to verify to my table if the changes is made but the result is nothing happened
Here is the call function from my save button:
<script>
var op = '';
var op_dif = '';
$('#btnSave').click(function () {
op = $('#op').val();
op_dif = $('#op_difficulty').val();
alert(op + " " + op_dif); // I can see the value here
$.post("/Home/UpdateOP", {
'data': JSON.stringify([{
'op': op,
'opDiff': Op_dif
}])
}, function (data) {
var resp = JSON.parse(data);
if (resp["status"] == "SUCCESS") {
alert('Data has been successfully updated');
location.reload();
}
else {
alert('Error!!');
}
});
});
</script>
My view where my update query is located:
public string UpdateOpsDiff(operation[] ops)
{
string res = "";
foreach(var op in ops)
{
string updatetQuery = "update sys.OP_difficulty set op_difficulty = #diff where op = #op;";
MySqlCommand updateCommand = new MySqlCommand(updatetQuery);
updateCommand.Connection = myConnection;
updateCommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("#diff", op.op_dif);
updateCommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("#op", op.op);
myConnection.Open();
int updatedRowNum = 0;
try
{
updatedRowNum = updateCommand.ExecuteNonQuery();
}
catch(MySqlException)
{
updatedRowNum = updateCommand.ExecuteNonQuery();
}
finally
{
myConnection.Close();
}
res = "{status:SUCCESS, updatedRowNum:" + updatedRowNum + "}";
}
return res;
}
Controller where it reads the view query:
public string UpdateOp()
{
string data = Request.Form["data"];
IQA sys = new MysqlSys();
try
{
var rows = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<operation[]>(data);
return sys.UpdateOpsDiff(rows);
}
catch (JsonSerializationException je)
{
Console.WriteLine(je.Message);
return "{status:'DATA_FORMAT_ERROR'}";
}
}
Is there any missing items that I need. It already working using the query from my controller but this time I need to store my query from my view.
Any suggestions or comments. TIA
Since you're using AJAX callback, you should change return type to ActionResult and mark the action method with [HttpPost] attribute, also you should use return Content() or return Json() depending on returned type from UpdateOpsDiff() (string or object, respectively). Here is an example of proper setup:
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult UpdateOp(string data)
{
IQA sys = new MysqlSys();
try
{
var rows = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<operation[]>(data);
string result = sys.UpdateOpsDiff(rows);
// return JSON-formatted string should use 'Content()', see https://stackoverflow.com/q/9777731
return Content(result, "application/json");
}
catch (JsonSerializationException je)
{
// do something
return Json(new { status = "DATA_FORMAT_ERROR"});
}
}
Then set the AJAX callback to pass JSON string into action method mentioned above:
$('#btnSave').click(function () {
op = $('#op').val();
op_dif = $('#op_difficulty').val();
var values = { op: op, opDiff: op_dif };
$.post("/Home/UpdateOP", { data: JSON.stringify(values) }, function (data) {
var resp = JSON.parse(data);
if (resp["status"] == "SUCCESS") {
alert('Data has been successfully updated');
location.reload();
}
else {
alert('Error!!');
}
});
});
Note:
The JSON-formatted string should be presented in key-value pairs to be returned as content, as shown in example below:
res = string.Format(#"{""status"": ""SUCCESS"", ""updatedRowNum"": ""{0}""}", updatedRowNum);
With a slight modification, I am attempting to use the code provided by Bergi in jQuery Recursive AJAX Call Promise. In my case I make an AJAX call to test if a username is already used. If it is already in use then compose a new username and test that one. Once we have a username that is not in use then we are done and return that unused username. However, I am not getting the expected return value. The return value I get is undefined. The console log statement:
console.log("Return => " + username);
just before the return from the requestUsername function shows that I am returning a good value, but it is not making it to the:
requestUnused().done(function(unused_uname)
statement. Here is my code:
$(document).ready(function() {
function request(query_val) {
// return the AJAX promise
return $.ajax({
url: "/php/is_dup_ad_json.php",
method: 'GET',
dataType: 'json',
data: {
query: query_val, sid: Math.random()
},
});
}
function requestUsername(username) {
console.log("Initial => " + username);
return request(username).then(function(ajax_json){
$.each(ajax_json, function(key, value) {
$.each(value, function(k, v) {
if ((k == "duplicate") && (v > 0)) {
// try again with a different username
var first_initial = fname.substr(0,1);
var surname = lname.substr(0,6);
var idx = v + 1;
var tmpUname = surname + first_initial + idx;
console.log("Temp => " + tmpUname);
return requestUsername(tmpUname);
}
else {
console.log("Return => " + username);
return username;
}
});
});
});
}
function requestUnused(){
var fname = "bugs";
var lname = "bunny";
var first_initial = fname.substr(0,1);
var surname = lname.substr(0,7);
var init_uname = surname + first_initial;
return requestUsername(init_uname);
}
$("#test").on('click', function() {
requestUnused().done(function(unused_uname) {
console.log("Done => " + unused_uname);
});
});
});
Without debugging tools at hand, I would guess that the return value from "requestUnused()," which is a ".then" returned from "requestUsername" is competing with the ".done". I believe ".done" and ".then" serve a similar purpose. If you want to keep a modular approach, separating the functions as it were, you could define the function in the ".then" externally and remove "requestUsername" entirely. Then (no pun intended) call "request" directly in "requestUnused," applying the ".then" functionality extracted previously in the ".click" function instead of ".done."
Alternatively, you could simply call "requestUnused()" in the click function without a ".done".
What I want is, I want to check whether there is a file in the database or not. To do this I have a method in the controller which checks this and returns a boolean for the corresponding case. It looks like this:
public bool fileInDb(int empId)
{
using (SLADbContext db = new SLADbContext())
{
bool file = db.CompetenceUploads.Any(x => x.EmployeeId == empId);
if (file)
{
return true;
}
else
{
return false;
}
}
}
I simply just check if there is any file assigned to the given employee.
Now I would like to call this method from my javascript in the view, and get the return value, so that I can let the user know, if there is a file assigned to the selected employee or not. It may look like this:
$("#get-file").click(function() {
empId: $("#EmployeeSelect").val();
var fileInDb = // Get the return value from the method 'fileInDb'
if(fileInDb) {
// Let the user download the file he/she requested
var url = "#Url.Action("GetUploadedFile", "Competence")";
this.href = url + '?empId=' + encodeURIComponent($("#EmployeeSelect").val());
} else {
alert("There is no file assigned to this employee.");
}
});
So my question now is, how do I get the get the return value from the method in the controller?
I would suggest few changes here:
Change your controller method to have return type ActionResult or JsonResult and I prefer JsonResult would be enough here and retrun Json response from controller and manipulate this method with $.get. You also need to change parameter to string because the parameter will be received as Json string.
public JsonResult fileInDb(string eId) //change signature to string and then convert to int
{
int empId=Convert.ToInt32(eId);
using (SLADbContext db = new SLADbContext())
{
bool file = db.CompetenceUploads.Any(x => x.EmployeeId == empId);
if (file)
{
return Json(new { result = true },JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
}
else
{
return Json(new { result = false},JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
}
}
}
Now your ajax-get call would be as below:
$("#get-file").click(function() {
var eId= $("#EmployeeSelect").val();
$.get('/YourControllerName/fileInDb',{'eId':eId},function(response){
//you just need to get the response so $.get is enough to manipulate
//this will be called once you get the response from controller, typically a callback
if(response.result) //same result variable we are returning from controller.
{
// Let the user download the file he/she requested
var url = "#Url.Action("GetUploadedFile", "Competence")";
this.href = url + '?empId=' + encodeURIComponent($("#EmployeeSelect").val());
} else {
alert("There is no file assigned to this employee.");
}
})
});
You need to set-up a single page script using your ASP fileInDb function and then communicate with that page using AJAX from the browser. If you're unfamiliar with AJAX I'd recommend using the jQuery implementation to get you started.
You can use jquery and ajax to achieve this. Call your method using an ajax call from your client code. Here is an example as a reference :Calling controller method from view
In the backend create a method to call, returning a JsonResult
public JsonResult fileInDb(int empId)
{
// your code - set fileExists to true/false
JsonResult returnObj = new JsonResult
{
Data = new
{
FileExists = fileExists ;
}
};
return Json(returnObj);
}
in your javascript code use $.ajax
$.ajax({
cache: false,
url: '#Url.Action("fileInDb")',
data: { 'empId': someVar },
type: 'POST',
success: function (response) {
if (response.Data.FileExists === true) {
// do something
} else {
// it was false
}
},
error: function (er) {
alert('Error!' + er);
}
});
I am trying to fill a dropdown using ajax and a controller action, but nothing seems to be happening when I click the button that triggers the action:
Ajax:
$.ajax({
url: '#Url.Action("GetBranch", "Report")',
type: "GET",
success: function (result) {
$("#dropdown2").append('<option value=' + result.BranchId + '>' + result.BranchName + '</option>');
}
});
Controller Action:
public ActionResult GetBranch()
{
var branch = new Branch();
var branchId = branch.BranchId;
var branchName = branch.BranchName;
return Json(new[]
{
new {Id = branchId, Value = branchName}
}, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
}
This is a practice I am not too familiar with so there could be something obvious missing. None of the answers here have been able to help me because I am trying to bind to an existing <select>; not a #DropdownListFor
It seems that the controller action is not getting hit with the ajax call, so nothing is getting returned.
Thanks for your help!
public JsonResult GetBranch()
{
var branch = new Branch();
var branchs = new List<Branch>();
var branchId = "Branch01"; //If only your branch id datatype is string
branch.branchId = branchId;
var branchName = "Name of Branch";//Name you want to give for your branch
branch.branchName = branchName;
branchs.Add(branch);
return Json(branchs.Select(t => new {Text = t.branchName, Value = t.branchId}), JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
}
on my view page , i am passing some values to controller by ajax request , on controller action, after checking , redirecting message value to view's controller.Adding message to model and pasisng model to view again with new model value.On second time( postback) model values passed to view as Json but new model value(which is message) cannot be catch by javascript.In my code it is Model.INFO
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: '#Url.Action("TeamSaveChanges", "Administrator")',
data: {
ID: '#Model.ID',
doctorID: doctorValue,
nurseID:nurseValue,
driverID:driverValue,
technicianID: technicianValue
},
dataType: "text",
success: function () { alert("#Model.INFO")},
error: function () { alert("Error occured!!!") }
});
Controller
public ActionResult TeamSaveChanges(Guid ID, Guid? doctorID, Guid? nurseID, Guid? driverID, Guid? technicianID)
{
try
{
using (var client = SoapProxyFactory.CreateDSrvGDSoapClient())
{
var emptyTeam = Guid.Empty;
var ambID = client.getAmbulanceIDbyTeamID(ID);
var baseresult = client.checkAmblanceTeamsforDuplicateMembers(ambID, ID);
if (doctorID == emptyTeam && nurseID == emptyTeam && driverID == emptyTeam && technicianID == emptyTeam )
{
var result = client.EditTeamMembers(ID, doctorID, nurseID, driverID, technicianID);
if (result)
throw new Exception("saved");
}
else
{
foreach (var item in baseresult)
{
if(item.DOCTORCODE == doctorID && item.NURSECODE == nurseID && item.DRIVERCODE == driverID && item.TECHNICIANCODE == technicianID)
throw new Exception("The team with Same Members is exist." + "<p>(" + item.TEAMCODE + ")</p>");
}
var result = client.EditTeamMembers(ID, doctorID, nurseID, driverID, technicianID);
if (result)
throw new Exception("saved");
}
catch (Exception exp)
{
string message = exp.Message;
return RedirectToAction("TeamMembers", "Administrator", new { ID = ID, message = message });
}
[OutputCache(Location = System.Web.UI.OutputCacheLocation.None)]
public ActionResult TeamMembers(Guid? ID,string message)
{
try
{
if (!ID.HasValue())
return RedirectToAction("Ambulance");
using (var client = SoapProxyFactory.CreateDSrvALLSoapClient())
{
Guid id = ID.Value;
var clientGD = SoapProxyFactory.CreateDSrvGDSoapClient();
var result = client.GetTeamMembers(id);
result.INFO = message;
if (message != null)
{
result.INFO = message;
return Json(result,JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
}
return View(result);
}
}
This line:
success: function () { alert("#Model.INFO")},
Will only pull in the INFO of the model once because it renders the server value in the client. If you are expecting it to change, then you have to pass the result back to success, and accept the new value as such:
success: function (d) { alert(d); },
To return a value to it you have to return from the action:
return Content("SOMEVAL"); // or PartialView or something that is string data
However, redirecting to action isn't going to return a response to the caller, and may not be handled properly through AJAX, so I'm not 100% sure what the question is...
Why would you use AJAX for this? What is happening is your script is firing a request off to your controller, which sends the response back as data, not a redirect to a new webpage.
Just create a form that POSTs those variables to your controller in typical MVC fashion, you'll get the result you want.
