I'm attempting to integrate a p5.js into a webpage that draws upon receipt of a successful response. I want to draw a tree based on a user entering information that becomes a certain node. I'm using Django as my backend.
views.py
def index(request):
if request.method != 'POST':
return render(request, 'index.html')
else:
if request.is_ajax():
parent = request.POST.get('parent')
child = request.POST.get('child')
try:
# various cases are run through...
# case 7: neither child nor parent saved to tree --
# create leaf from child and twig from parent
twig = Twig.objects.create(text=parent)
leaf = Leaf.objects.create(text=child)
leaf.twigs.add(twig)
data = {"twig_text" : twig.text,
"twig_drawing" : twig.drawing,
"twig_base_x" : 0,
"twig_base_y" : 20,
"twig_tip_x" : 20,
"twig_tip_y" : 25,
"leaf_text" : leaf.text,
"leaf_drawing" : leaf.drawing,
"leaf_base_x" : 20,
"leaf_base_y" : 25,
"leaf_tip_x" : 40,
"leaf_tip_y" : 50,
}
twig.drawing = "filled"
leaf.drawaing = "filled"
return JsonResponse(data)
else:
return render(request, 'index.html')

success : function(json) {
if (json["leaf_text"]){
console.log(json['leaf_text'] + " was retrieved.");
function setup(){

function draw(){
ellipse(random(20), random(50), random(10), random(20));
}
}
},

console.log(xhr.status + ": " + xhr.responseText);
},
});

My console test is successful. I can't figure out why the next few functions in 'success' aren't doing anything. I don't get any error messages in firebug. I'm new to p5, but I don't think that part of the code is the problem as I am this example: http://p5js.org/get-started/
