The solution I ended up with is separating it to two different functions, one to take in a form and another for a button. I passed the html form variable by using request.session between the two functions.
Solution 1 :
Solution 2 :
I’m not sure if I get the idea but I want to issue to mine.
instead of form, make a button group, then give each one some attribute like data-url, data-data, data-target,…
then use ajax to be able to change the target doms HTML value and data in time.
<button id="ajax-caller"
data-url="my_list_returner_url"
data-data="{{ value_i_need }}
data-target="#list_dom" >{{ value }}
</button>
<script>
$("#ajax-caller").on('click', function (){
var url = $(this).getattr('data-url');
var data = $(this). getattr ('data-data');
var target = $(this). getattr ("data-target");
$.ajax({
url: URL,
method: get,
data: data,
success: function (response){
target.html = response;
};
)};
)};
</script>
I’m not good at js, so search for correcting the js part 🙂
Problem :
I’m extremely new to Django, but I have been trying to figure out the solution for hours. I want to pass a variable from a html form to the backend and then use the variable there to make an api request. I want the API result to be showing on the html file as well as it being checked against a list(in the backend) and having the result from the comparison on the html file as well.
I would like onClick of submitting the variable on HTML (which is a email) that everything works without having multiple buttons/form.
I believe I have multiple errors.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
