Redirecting after AJAX post in Django

问题:

I use Django's built-in DeleteView and I've assigned a value to the success_url attribute. Now in my template, I trigger this view via JQuery' $.post() method. When the item is deleted, I don't get redirected to the success_url. After some search, I found that it seems to be a problem of AJAX post method, which ignores the redirection.

I fixed it by adding a function to set the window.location="#myRedirectionURL" as the third parameter of $.post() in JQuery.

However, this way seems not very Django. Essentially, it solves the problem from the aspect of AJAX, instead of Django. What's more, it leaves the success_url in DeleteView useless( But you still have to assign a value to success_url, or Django will raise an error).

So is it the right way to get redirected when you post via AJAX? Is there any better way to do it?

Thanks very much.

Ajax will not redirect pages!

What you get from a redirect is the html code from the new page inside the data object on the POST response.

If you know where to redirect the user if whatever action fails, you can simply do something like this:

On the server,

In case you have an error

response = {'status': 0, 'message': _("Your error")} 

If everything went ok

response = {'status': 1, 'message': _("Ok")} # for ok

Send the response:

return HttpResponse(json.dumps(response), content_type='application/json')

on the html page:

$.post( "{% url 'your_url' %}", 
         { csrfmiddlewaretoken: '{{ csrf_token}}' , 
           other_params: JSON.stringify(whatever)
         },  
         function(data) {
             if(data.status == 1){ // meaning that everyhting went ok
                // do something
             }
             else{
                alert(data.message)
                // do your redirect
                window.location('your_url')
             }
        });

If you don't know where to send the user, and you prefer to get that url from the server, just send that as a parameter:

response = {'status': 0, 'message': _("Your error"), 'url':'your_url'} 

then substitute that on window location:

 alert(data.message)
 // do your redirect
 window.location = data.url;

Edit: source unavailable

this one works for me, perhaps looks like hack

django middleware

from django.http import HttpResponseRedirect

class AjaxRedirect(object):
    def process_response(self, request, response):
        if request.is_ajax():
            if type(response) == HttpResponseRedirect:
                response.status_code = 278
        return response

javascript

$(document).ready(function() {
    $(document).ajaxComplete(function(e, xhr, settings) {
        if (xhr.status == 278) {
            window.location.href = xhr.getResponseHeader("Location");
        }
    });
});

django-ajax's ajaxPost allows for redirects if you pass a normal redirect(URL) to it (as a json response). Jquery ajax() methods did not work in my case.
