Creating my first dajaxice function

Create your ajax function

Create a file named ajax.py inside any django app. For example example/ajax.py.

Inside this file create as many as your want ajax functions.:

from django.utils import simplejson
from dajaxice.core import dajaxice_functions

def myexample(request):
    return simplejson.dumps({'message':'Hello World'})

dajaxice_functions.register(myexample)

Invoque it from your JS

Since django-dajaxice>=0.1.7 callbacks should be JS functions. You can invoque your AJAX methods using Dajaxice.example.myexample(my_js_callback), example will be the name of the app containing ajax.py

onclick="Dajaxice.example.myexample(my_js_callback);"

The function my_js_callback is your JS function that will use your example return data. For example:

function my_js_callback(data){
  if(data==Dajaxice.EXCEPTION){
    alert('Error! Something happens!');
  }
  else{
    alert(data.message);
  }
}

That callback will alert the message Hello World.

Deprecated invoque < 0.1.7

For backward compatibility, old style string representation is still allowed but it’isnt recomended.

Javascript call using string notation:

onclick="Dajaxice.example.myexample('my_js_callback');"

The function my_js_callback is your JS function that will use your example return data. For example:

function my_js_callback(data){
  if(data==Dajaxice.EXCEPTION){
    alert('Error! Something happens!');
  }
  else{
    alert(data.message);
  }
}

That callback will alert the message Hello World.
