For a university homework, I have to create a little e-commerce website.
After the login, the user is redirected to the homepage. In this homepage, the client will recive a JSON object from the server (containing some product to be loaded) to generate the DOM of the homepage dynamically.
Note: I must use AJAX and JSON
I have this client.js file:
$(document).ready(function() {
// AJAX request on submit
$("#login_form").submit(function (e) {
e.preventDefault();
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "submit.php",
data: {
Email: document.getElementById('login_email').value, // Email in the form
Password: document.getElementById('login_password').value // // Password in the form
},
cache: false,
success: function(){
window.location.href = "home.php"; // load the home.php page in the default folder
}
});
});
});
$(document).ready(function() {
// AJAX request to open a channel between php and client
function (e) {
e.preventDefault();
$.ajax({
type: "GET",
url: "queries.php",
dataType: "json",
success: function(data){
var data = JSON.parse(data);
alert(data); // debug
showProducts(data);
});
});
});
});
function showProducts(data){
alert(data);
// Insert object into the page DOM
}
I don't know why, but I can't access after the login if the second Ajax request (the AJAX request to open a channel between php and client) is not commented, and I don't know why, because the code seems right... Any suggestion?
after login action you need to set to cookie token in response
success: function(response){
console.log(response)
// then set to cookie response.token
window.location.href = "home.php";
}
after set token to cookie, you need to send this token to next ajax request url: "queries.php",
You need to wrap your anonymous function in parenthesis and add () at the end if you want to execute it:
(function (e) {
// I don't know why you need this:
e.preventDefault();
// etc.
})();
You should also check the contents of that function as you seem to have too many closing parentheses and you don't need to parse the returned value if you set the dataType to json.
In the end I think this is about all you need for that function:
(function () {
$.ajax({
type: "GET",
url: "queries.php",
dataType: "json",
success: function(data){
console.log(data); // debug
showProducts(data);
}
});
})();
or just:
$.ajax({
type: "GET",
url: "queries.php",
dataType: "json",
success: function(data){
console.log(data); // debug
showProducts(data);
}
});
To get it directly on page load.

I am trying to make sure the data i got from an ajax is passed onto my view. I actually got success with that but on page refresh the data disappears. Here is my jquery code
$(document).ready(function(){
$('#Item').hide();
$('#submitButton').hide();
$("#cartIcon").click(function(){
var id = $('#id').val();
console.log(id);
$.ajax({
headers: {
'X-CSRF-TOKEN': $('meta[name="csrf-token"]').attr('content')
},
type: 'POST', // Type of response and matches what we said in the route
url: '/addtocart/', // This is the url we gave in the route
dataType: 'JSON',
data: {'id' : id}, // a JSON object to send back
success: function(response){ // What to do if we succeed
$('#subtotal').html(response.totalPrice);
$('#total').html(response.totalPrice);
$('#Item').show();
$('#noItem').hide();
$('#submitButton').show();
}
});
});
});
How do i make my .html response remain after page reload
Save the data into a cookie or local storage. Every time the page loads, you'll need to check if there is some data in the local storage to show.
as they mentioned, you could use LocalStorage:
$(document).ready(function(){
$('#Item').hide();
$('#submitButton').hide();
function load_data(){
var current;
current = localStorage.getItem("cartData");
if(current == null || current == undefined){
return ;
}
current = JSON.parse(current);
$('#subtotal').html(current.totalPrice);
$('#total').html(current.totalPrice);
}
load_data();
$("#cartIcon").click(function(){
var id = $('#id').val();
console.log(id);
$.ajax({
headers: {
'X-CSRF-TOKEN': $('meta[name="csrf-token"]').attr('content')
},
type: 'POST', // Type of response and matches what we said in the route
url: '/addtocart/', // This is the url we gave in the route
dataType: 'JSON',
data: {'id' : id}, // a JSON object to send back
success: function(response){ // What to do if we succeed
$('#subtotal').html(response.totalPrice);
$('#total').html(response.totalPrice);
localStorage.setItem("cartData",JSON.stringify({"totalPrice":response.totalPrice}));
$('#Item').show();
$('#noItem').hide();
$('#submitButton').show();
}
});
});
});
I have tried to use AJAX call in an MVC5 project as many similar examples on the web, but every time there is an error i.e. antiforgerytoken, 500, etc. I am looking at a proper AJAX call method with Controller Action method that has all the necessary properties and sending model data from View to Controller Action. Here are the methods I used:
View:
#using (Html.BeginForm("Insert", "Account", FormMethod.Post, new { id = "frmRegister" }))
{
#Html.AntiForgeryToken()
//code omitted for brevity
}
<script>
AddAntiForgeryToken = function (data) {
data.__RequestVerificationToken = $('#__AjaxAntiForgeryForm input[name=__RequestVerificationToken]').val();
return data;
};
$('form').submit(function (event) {
event.preventDefault();
//var formdata = JSON.stringify(#Model); //NOT WORKING???
var formdata = new FormData($('#frmRegister').get(0));
//var token = $('[name=__RequestVerificationToken]').val(); //I also tried to use this instead of "AddAntiForgeryToken" method but I encounter another error
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "/Account/Insert",
data: AddAntiForgeryToken({ model: formdata }),
//data: { data: formdata, __RequestVerificationToken: token },
//contentType: "application/json",
processData: false,
contentType: false,
datatype: "json",
success: function (data) {
$('#result').html(data);
}
});
});
</script>
Controller: Code cannot hit to this Action method due to antiforgerytoken or similar problem.
[HttpPost]
[AllowAnonymous]
[ValidateAntiForgeryToken]
public JsonResult Insert(RegisterViewModel model)
{
try
{
//...
//code omitted for brevity
}
}
I just need a proper AJAX and Action methods that can be used for CRUD operations in MVC5. Any help would be appreciated.
UPDATE: Here is some points about which I need to be clarified:
1) We did not use "__RequestVerificationToken" and I am not sure if we send it to the Controller properly (it seems to be as cookie in the Request Headers of Firebug, but I am not sure if it is OK or not). Any idea?
2) Should I use var formdata = new FormData($('#frmRegister').get(0)); when I upload files?
3) Why do I have to avoid using processData and contentType in this scenario?
4) Is the Controller method and error part of the AJAX method are OK? Or is there any missing or extra part there?
If the model in your view is RegisterViewModel and you have generated the form controls correctly using the strongly typed HtmlHelper methods, then using either new FormData($('#frmRegister').get(0)) or $('#frmRegister').serialize() will correctly send the values of all form controls within the <form> tags, including the token, and it is not necessary to add the token again.
If your form does not include a file input, then the code should be
$('form').submit(function (event) {
event.preventDefault();
var formData = $('#frmRegister').serialize();
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: '#Url.Action("Insert", "Account")', // do not hard code your url's
data: formData,
datatype: "json", // refer notes below
success: function (data) {
$('#result').html(data);
}
});
});
or more simply
$.post('#Url.Action("Insert", "Account")', $('#frmRegister').serialize(), function(data) {
$('#result').html(data);
});
If you are uploading files, then you need you need to use FormData and the code needs to be (refer also this answer and
$('form').submit(function (event) {
event.preventDefault();
var formData = new FormData($('#frmRegister').get(0));
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: '#Url.Action("Insert", "Account")',
data: formData,
processData: false,
contentType: false,
datatype: "json", // refer notes below
success: function (data) {
$('#result').html(data);
}
});
});
Note that you must set both processData and contentType to false when using jQuery with FormData.
If you getting a 500(Internal Server Error), it almost always means that your controller method is throwing an exception. In your case, I suspect this is because your method is returning a partial view (as suggested by the $('#result').html(data); line of code in you success callback) but you have specified that the return type should be json (your use of the datatype: "json", option). Note that it is not necessary to specify the dataType option (the .ajax() method will work it out if its not specified)
If that is not the cause of the 500(Internal Server Error), then you need to debug your code to determine what is causing the expection. You can use your browser developer tools to assist that process. Open the Network tab, run the function, (the name of the function will be highlighted), click on it, and then inspect the Response. It will include the details of the expection that was thrown.
contentType should be application/x-www-form-urlencoded
Try this code
<script>
$('form').submit(function (event) {
event.preventDefault();
$.ajax({
method: "POST",
url: "/Account/Insert",
data: $(this).serialize(),
contentType:"application/x-www-form-urlencoded",
success: function (data) {
$('#result').html(data);
},
error: function (jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown) {
console.log(errorThrown);
}
});
});
</script>
How can I send data through ajax to a specific method in a another PHP class? In the url value I have pointed to the class file, but where can I assign the method name to use?
$.ajax({
type:'POST',
url:'ResortController.php',
data: vidData,
cache:false,
contentType: false,
processData: false,
success:function(data){
console.log("success");
console.log(vidData);
//window.location.reload();
},
error: function(data){
console.log("error");
}
});
Pass the data in data:vidData and specify your function name after call of controller.
url = BASE_PATH + 'ResortController/FUNCTION_NAME';
vidData = {id: 123, vidName: "testVideo"};
$.ajax({
type:'POST',
url:url,
data: vidData,
cache:false,
contentType: false,
processData: false,
success:function(data){
console.log("success");
console.log(data);
//window.location.reload();
},
error: function(data){
console.log("error");
}
});
Using $_POST in your function you will get your ajax data in $_POST['vidData'].
Also you need to call data instead of vidData variable in success of ajax console.log(data).
You need to have a server-side mechanism in place to handle how to direct your requests. Presumably the url you are sending a request to just has the class declaration...you need some sort of dispatcher or else php doesn't know what to do:
jQuery:
$.ajax({
type:'POST',
url:'/dispatcher.php',
data: {
"data":vidData,
"class":"ResortController",
"method":"rMethod"
},
cache:false,
success:function(data){
console.log("success");
console.log(vidData);
//window.location.reload();
},
error: function(data){
console.log("error");
}
});
/dispatcher.php
<?php
// This is dangerous if you have no controls in place to allow/restrict
// a program to run a command
// Anyone could send a cURL request and run an automated class/method through
// this mechanism unless you have some way to restrict that
if(!empty($_POST['class']) && !empty($_POST['method'])) {
// Here you want to have some way to check that a request is valid and not
// made from some outside source to run arbitrary commands
// I will pretend you have an admin identifier function....
if(is_admin()) {
call_user_func_array(array($_POST['class'],$_POST['method']),array('data'=>$_POST['data']));
}
}
I am having trouble getting an ajax GET request (or any request for that matter) to retrieve the response. I am simply trying to return the response in an alert event:
<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#test').click(function() {
$.ajax ({
type: 'Get',
url: 'https://crm.zoho.com/crm/private/json/Potentials/searchRecords?authtoken=XXX&scope=crmapi&criteria=(((Potential Email:test#email.com))&selectColumns=Potentials(Potential Name)&fromIndex=1&toIndex=1',
dataType: 'json',
success: function(data) {
alert(data);
}
});
});
});
</script>
I can get this and other similar post requests to work by taking away the function in the success option and editing the code like this:
<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#test').click(function() {
$.ajax ({
type: 'Get',
url: 'https://crm.zoho.com/crm/private/json/Potentials/searchRecords?authtoken=XXXX&scope=crmapi&criteria=(((Potential Email:test#email.com))&selectColumns=Potentials(Potential Name)&fromIndex=1&toIndex=1',
dataType: 'json',
success: alert('success')
});
});
});
</script>
Why is this? And more importantly, how can I retrieve the response data and transfer it to an alert message? Any help is appreciated!
** Update:
Upon reading the first two users' responses on this question, this is what I have:
<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#test').click(function() {
$.ajax ({
type: 'GET',
url: 'https://crm.zoho.com/crm/private/json/Potentials/searchRecords?authtoken=418431ea64141079860d96c85ee41916&scope=crmapi&criteria=(((Potential%20Email:test#email.com))&selectColumns=Potentials(Potential%20Name)&fromIndex=1&toIndex=1',
dataType: 'json',
success: function(data) {
alert(JSON.stringify(data));
},
error: function(data) {
alert(JSON.stringify(data));
}
});
});
});
</script>
I am able to get the error response, so I can confirm there is some kind of error. I also want to point out that I am making the request from a different domain (not crm.zoho.com) so should I be using jsonp? If so, how would I alter the code?
When you have
success: alert('success')
you do NOT have a successful request, you are actually executing this function at the start of AJAX method. The success parameter requires a pointer to a function, and when you use alert('success') you are executing a function instead of providing a pointer to it.
First thing that you need to try is to update type to GET instead of Get:
$.ajax ({
type: 'GET',
Try using the .done() function as follows:
<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#test').click(function() {
$.ajax ({
type: 'Get',
url: 'yourUrl',
dataType: 'json',
}
}).done(function(result) {alert(data);}) //try adding:
.error(function(jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown) {
console.log(textStatus, errorThrown);})
});
});
the error function will also give you some information in your console as to the status of your request.
I have the following code:
$("form").submit(function()
{
//Checking data here:
$("input").each(function(i, obj)
{
});
alert(JSON.stringify($(this).serializeArray()));
var url='http://127.0.0.1:1337/receive';
$.ajax({
url: url,
type: 'POST',
contentType:'application/json',
data: JSON.stringify($(this).serializeArray()),
dataType:'json'
});
});
And after I submit the form, I get a JavaScript alert with the json string, so that is made correct (on my server I only log it so it does not matter what it is in it). If I try to send a request to the same link from postman it works, it logs it.
I think I'm doing something wrong in the ajax call, but I am not able to figure out.
Try below piece of code. Add success and error handler for more details
$("form").submit(function()
{
//Checking data here:
$("input").each(function(i, obj)
{
});
alert(JSON.stringify($(this).serializeArray()));
var url='http://127.0.0.1:1337/receive';
$.ajax({
url: url,
type: 'POST',
contentType: 'application/json; charset=utf-8',
data: JSON.stringify($(this).serializeArray()),
dataType:'json',
success : function(response) {
alert("success");
},
error: function (xhr, status, error) {
alert(error);
}
});
});
data:{ list : JSON.stringify($(this).serializeArray())}
From the Jquery docs:
Due to browser security restrictions, most "Ajax" requests are subject to the same origin policy; the request can not successfully retrieve data from a different domain, subdomain, or protocol.
crossDomain attribute simply force the request to be cross-domain. dataType is jsonp and there is a parameter added to the url.
$.ajax({
url:'http://127.0.0.1:1337/receive',
data:{ apikey: 'secret-key-or-any-other-parameter-in-json-format' },
dataType:'jsonp',
crossDomain: 'true',
success:function (data) {alert(data.first_name);}
});
