dynamically add an array by using jQuery ajax call - javascript

In the most of the websites when I see the browser 'view page source', a lot of java-script array or JSON data is populated dynamically. I think this data we can get it from the database and store it in java-script array. Can any one suggest me how to add data dynamically from jQuery ajax call and assign it in array variable..
I tried with array push() method. but no luck.
Can any one suggest me how to do it?

You can do it as follows:
$.ajax({
type: "GET",
url: // Your URL,
data: "{}",
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
dataType: "json",
success: function (data) {
var result = data.d; // your json data
$.each(result , function (index, value) {
myArray.push([value.property, value.property2]); // push array note `[]`
});
}
});

Get Object XmlDocument value

I'm executing an ajax call to a external api (this cannot be modified) to upload an store a file into a folder. This request must return a path (ex. "C:\Doctos\File.pdf" but after a console.log is returning something like this:
#document < string xmlns="http://tempuri.org/">"C:\Doctos\File.pdf"
So my question is, what can I do to get only the text that I want without any change in the api (because I'm not able to do it).
Here is the ajax call that I'm using.
PD. This ajax call is using the provided structure for the dev team that developed the api so things like dataType also cannot be modified
var data = new FormData();
var files = $('#fileUpload').get(0).files;
if (files.length > 0) {
data.append("UploadedFile", files[0]);
}
$.ajax({
type: 'POST',
url: 'api/v1/moreurl/UploadFile',
contentType: false,
processData: false,
data: data,
success: function (data) {
var res = data;
//Returns above example
console.log(res);
//Returns something like <p>[object XMLDocument]</p>
$('#MyInput').attr('src', res);
}
});
I would use regular expressions to get the desired string from received data. Put this after success line.
var regex = />\"(.*)\"/;
var matched = regex.exec(data);
var result = matched[1];
console.log(result);
The regex matches the last quoted string in your example.
You can get the data in the xml with jQuery
$.ajax({
type: 'POST',
url: 'api/v1/moreurl/UploadFile',
contentType: false,
processData: false,
data: data,
success: function (data) {
// Get the contents of the xml
var file = $(data).find('string').text();
$('#MyInput').attr('src', file);
}
});

Passing php string as json to be received by jquery

I am trying to echo a string which is structured like json, but the jquery ajax post is not able to parse it properly. What I want to know is if this string will be treated like json in the jquery json parse just like when we echo a json_encode.
echo '{"mobno":'.$mobno.',"charge":'.$charge.',"capacity":'.$capacity.'}';
ajax code:
jQuery.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "file.php",
data: { type: $(this).val(), amount: $("#amount").val()},
cache: false,
success: function(response){
var Vals = JSON.parse(response);
if(!Vals){
alert("Error1");
}else{
var capacity = parseInt(Vals.capacity);
if(capacity>0){
alert("worked1");
}else{
alert("worked2");
}
}
}
});
I don't get a single alert out of the 3.
As per your edit and comment, your json string is correct. You just have to change your AJAX request.
Add this setting dataType: "json" in your AJAX request if you're expecting a json object as response from server.
So your AJAX request should be like this:
jQuery.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "file.php",
data: { type: $(this).val(), amount: $("#amount").val()},
cache: false,
dataType: "json",
success: function(response){
// you can access json properties like this:
// response.mobno
// response.charge
// response.capacity
var capacity = response.capacity;
if(capacity > 0){
alert("worked1");
}else{
alert("worked2");
}
}
});
Just so JavaScript can differ string and properties of json, please use double quote for starting and ending the string and for json properties use single quote or vice-versa. Try that out and let me know if you could not figure that out.
As other answers suggest you need to fix the quotes of the JSON the web service is sending back in the response.
Regarding you question, everything sent back in the response is actually a string. You need to decide what to do with it once it arrives.
One of the ways to allow both client side and server side programs understand what was sent is setting the right content type header.
For JSON the best way is to set the content type header to "application/json".
If you're using php you can do this:
$data = /** whatever you're serializing **/;
header('Content-Type: application/json');
echo json_encode($data);
On the client side jquery ajax you can do this:
$.ajax({
dataType: "json",
url: url,
data: data,
success: function(data, textStatus, jqXHR){}
});
In this example the "data" parameter passed to the "success" callback function is already a js object (after JSON.parse). This is due to the use of the "dataType" parameter in the ajax declaration.
Optionally, you can do this manually and write a simple $.post which receives a string and do the JSON.parse yourself.
Maybe you should do the manual parsing yourself at first, and use the console.log(data) before and after the parsing so you'd know you're doing it correctly. Then, move on to the automatic way with "dataType" set to "json".
Please see #Rajdeep Paul's JSON string correction. Then, have your response JSON object remapped to an array.
JSON string
echo "{\"mobno\":\"".$mobno."\",\"charge\":\"".$charge."\",\"capacity\":\"".$capacity."\"}";
Ajax
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "file.php",
data: { type: $(this).val(), amount: $("#amount").val()},
cache: false,
success: function(response){
// map JSON object to one-dimensional array
var Vals = $.map( JSON.parse(response), function(el) { return el });
if(!Vals){
alert("Error1");
}else{
var count = parseInt(Vals.length);
if(count>0){
alert("worked1");
}else{
alert("worked2");
}
}
}
});

How to navigate JSON Object in jQuery?

I made this webservice that handles my database functions, and this is an AJAX call to one of the methods.
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "Service/dataBaseService.asmx/getRMAData",
data: '{"RMAId": 1 }',
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
dataType: "json",
async: true,
cache: false,
success: function (data) {
console.log(data);
alert(data.RMA_ID);
}
});
this is what is logged:
({d:"[{\"RMA_ID\":1,\"RequestDate\":\"2013-02-28T00:00:00\",\"Company\":1,\"Status\":\"Accepted \",\"Serial\":201764,\"LastChangeDate\":\"2013-02-28T00:00:00\",\"LastChangeBy\":\"Foreign \",\"Price\":null}]"})
However alert(data.RMA_ID) returns undefined aswell as data.d.RMA_ID?
How can I get hold of the values?
The value of data that you've logged is an object with a property named d, that contains a string value. You could probably make adjustments at your server side to make the value of d an object rather than a string, but the way it is currently constructed, you would be able to parse it into an object using JSON.parse.
Once you've done that, the resulting object should be an array, containing one single object. Thus, your access to RMA_ID would be as follows:
var data = JSON.parse(data.d);
alert(data[0].RMA_ID);
Using simple javascript you need to parse JSON response
var resp = eval('(' + data + ')');
or thru jQuery
var resp = jQuery.parseJSON(data);
now you can access the data using '.' and key name
console.log(resp.d[0].RMA_ID)

Convert model to array mvc 3

I got a model what i want is by clicking on a button to run a javascript function which will convert that model into array and send it to a controller that will read and parse the data as json or just as a Model.
example:
[View]:
#model MyApp.MyModel
<input type="button" value="Send" onclick="SendData()" />
function SendData()
{
var data = "#Model" // this is where im stuck maybe $.makeArray("#Model") ?
$.ajax({
url: 'getData',
type: 'POST',
data: $.toJSON(data),
datatype: "json",
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
success: function (result) {
alert(result);
}
});
}
Json.Encode Method could help you
Converts a data object to a string that is in the JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) format.
And your code
var data = #Json.Encode(Model);
Just wanted to add to the answer by #archil.
It may be better to use #Html.Raw(Json.Encode(Model)), depending on your requirements, instead of just Json.Encode(Model) because the json object will be properly encoded.
Example Json data using #Html.Raw(Json.Encode(Model))
[{"id":1,"name":"Joe"}]
Example Json data using Json.Encode(Model)
[{"id":1,"name":"Joe"}]

howto "submit" a part of a form using jQuery

I'm got a form laid out like a spreadsheet. When the user leaves a row, I want to submit fields from that row to the server using jQuery Ajax. The page is one large form, so this isn't really a javascript clicking the submit button scenario - the form is huge and I only want to send a small portion of the content for reasons of speed.
I've got the code written that identifies the row and iterates through the fields in the row. My issue is how to build the dat object in order to submit something comprehensible I can disassemble and store at the server end.
At the moment my code looks like this
var dat=[];
$("#" + finalrow).find("input").each(function () {
var o = $(this).attr("name");
var v = $(this).val();
dat.push({ o: v });
});
$.ajax({
url: 'UpdateRowAjax',
dataType: 'json',
type: 'POST',
data: dat ,
success: function (data) {
renderAjaxResponse(data);
}
});
The assembling of dat doesn't work at all. So how should I build that dat object in order for it to "look" as much like a form submission as possible.
You can add the elements that contain the data you want to send to a jQuery collection, and then call the serialize method on that object. It will return a parameter string that you can send off to the server.
var params = $("#" + finalrow).find("input").serialize();
$.ajax({
url: 'UpdateRowAjax',
type: 'POST',
data: params ,
success: function (data) {
renderAjaxResponse(data);
}
});
You can use $.param() to serialize a list of elements. For example, in your code:
var dat= $.param($("input", "#finalrow"));
$.ajax({
url: 'UpdateRowAjax',
dataType: 'json',
type: 'POST',
data: dat ,
success: function (data) {
renderAjaxResponse(data);
}
});
Example of $.param(): http://jsfiddle.net/2nsTr/
serialize() maps to this function, so calling it this way should be slightly more efficient.
$.ajax 'data' parameter expects a map of key/value pairs (or a string), rather than an array of objects. Try this:
var dat = {};
$("#" + finalrow).find("input").each(function () {
dat[$(this).attr('name')] = $(this).val();
});
