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)

You can also register the dajaxice function using the dajaxice_register decorator.:

from django.utils import simplejson
from dajaxice.decorators import dajaxice_register

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

Invoque it from your JS

Note

Since django-dajaxice 0.2 callbacks must be JS functions and not strings.

You can invoque your ajax fuctions from javascript using:

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 alert the message:

function my_js_callback(data){
    alert(data.message);
}

That callback will alert the message Hello World.

Strings as callbacks

Note

String callbacks are deprecated since django-dajaxice 0.2

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